in two months time ortiz would not be favored to win as hatton suffers a beating in the hands of pacquiao
Hatton will give him lots of problem. he need a year to face hatton let the kid had some experience against quality fighters...
Hate to sound like an echo, but as good as Ortiz looked last night, Hatton is a seasoned veteran that brings intense heat to the ring, and at the tender age of 22 I'm just not sure how Ortiz would react to it. I see a resemblance of the Kirkland-Joel Julio fight in this, although I could see Ortiz being more competitive due to his power and southpaw stance.
as good as his skills are, ortiz is still not top 10 in the LWW..that's just goes to show how deep the division is
i can see ortiz finishing the fight battered and bruised with hatton standing with his armed raised ortiz isnt like fernando vargas so ppl should stop with the comparisons
he is not ready yet but hatton would have trouble but should pick up a ud but in a years time if he keeps raising his game and fights top 10 guys who knows
Let me put it this way.......Remember Tito/Vargas????? Fernando was never the same. That kid is good. But is not done developing yet. Give him some time. I think 2010 he will be in the next division. Might wait to 2011 but I don't think so.
I like Ortiz I think he will become a star at 140 but he is not good enough to fight with guys like Hatton.
