A good poker player looks for a tell, a ***** in the armor. Think I may have spotted one watching Max Kellerman's face-to-face with Mayweather 'n Oritz. Ortiz psyched himself out. At one point, Ortiz says to Floyd, "...just like you've been a champion for 15 years" Instantly put me in mind of Schwarzenegger at breakfast with Lou Ferrigno the morning of the Mr.Olympia finals. "Lou, you Look FANTASTIC -- so huge -- so cut. You're arms are gigantic. They'll never give it to me for the fifth time"
Interesting ,though when your a tree is it possible to psych yourself out ? Can't wait to see how it plays out in the ring .
If Ortiz is still strong after round 6, we'll know that he is game. If he crumles when Floyd starts pulling out the tricks then he is the same Ortiz from the Maidana fight.
he already proved that vs berto, I think he is beyond quiting. He just doesnt need to respect floyd to much and threat him like he is a bum he hates, its not look he is going to outbox him or anything.
Bump indeed. Good call, John. I think Ortiz's repeated headbutts, and subsequent reaction were an indication of how psyched out he really was.
