    The two come together at bantamweight in a trilogy of 15 rounders. How do you see it playing out?

    The film we have means that Olivares should be favoured. He looks better than Ortiz does in the limited footage we have of him. But you never do know. Ortiz was very very great. Chucho beat Olivares by being exceptionally tough, staying with Olivares in the pocket and choosing his spots. Ortiz has all that and maybe a little bit more; my guess is that Ortiz was narrowly better than Chucho.

    Chucho cut Olivares of course and that was a key issue. Ortiz won't get that lucky I don't think. But these would be very tough, bitter fights closely contested. I suspect if they fought a series Olivares would win it - but without settling the dispute over which man was better, if that makes sense.

    I'd put money on Ortiz taking one. But not two. He's going to come to Olivares and that's not a winning strategy.

    Olivares would win the trilogy, but Ortiz should be able to steal one win.

    Where are all the informed MENSA members of this board to comment on this scintillating match?

    Oh, that's right, pecking away new frontiers of idiocy on some retarrded Klit thread.

    Can I borrow that? That "pecking away new frontiers of idiocy" thing? I like that.

    I'd take Olivares in 2, once by UD and once by stoppage, and Ortiz one via brutal stoppage. The Ortiz win would be the most fondly remembered. I can just see Ortiz pinning Olivares against the ropes and unleashing hellish uppercuts

    Says the guy who bumps 2007 threads. I've contributed to this forum much more than you have. Maybe look through my posts. And bumping is how forums work dumbass. In my mind there is no need to create a new thread if an old one is the same.
