Na I doubt Ortiz comes out like that, but if he does it doesn't matter anyways because Peterson is most def not knocking out Ortiz. This is Ortiz's fight to lose my man. Peterson might cave in like his brother did.
Your view of Peterson is higher than mine so we'll see. IF I was Ortiz knowing Peterson can't punch. I'll be all over him like Rios/Segura/Margo style lol. All UP ON DAT ASS!
I think Ortiz can beat Peterson by stoppage around the 9th. He'll have trouble with some of Petersons movements but will figure him out by the mid rounds. Peterson isn't a big puncher and I see him playing it safe for the most part. Ortiz is the more disciplined of the two, and gots a little more tools to make the victory happen in his favor.
I'm going with Ortiz, maybe a late tko. I think he's the more complete fighter, faster and harder-hitting. I think after out-boxing him for a while, Ortiz starts applying good, educated pressure and wears him down. I think Peterson goes into his shell from the mid-rounds and if Ortiz really goes for it, he can stop him. Just seen Ortiz interviewed on Sky Sports, he comes across very well - seems like a nice guy.
i think this fight is going the distance ortiz fought very tentatively against a shot to **** nate campbell peterson is going to be there all night -- bradley had to change his gameplan mid-fight to deal with lamont i still like ortiz to win the decision 116-112 or so
I'm very intrigued by this fight as well, actually. I think Ortiz takes it, probably by T/KO mid-late. Ortiz looks oddly focused. I think his power will be too much for Peterson. But I like Peterson, he's a very solid gatekeeper, and could very well provide a little spoil.
Same here. For a while ESB was hyped up on the brothers so i finally got to see them and they both looked like crap. I got criticized getting called a hater left and right. Ortiz should TKO him in the mid rounds. Peterson does not have the power or boxing ability to beat Ortiz. Im putting my money down on TKO. Im not sure if i wanna pick rounds though. I always wanted to watch a Ortiz-Cotto fight at 147....
Come on Cotto would win easy. We already know Ortiz panics when it isn't going his way. Cotto would destroy dude.
