    [Ortiz vs. Maidana]

    ....So we shouldn't expect Ortiz to fight to the death, or want him to... (Ortiz has) more wisdom than his detractors... (Ortiz had) also been hammered by a batch of of brutal, illegal punches to the back of his head and neck, the kind that, as Harold Lederman once put it, can kill a guy.     Ect. Ect. Ect.

    The Ring Magazine, October 2009


    For those who haven't seen this issue there's much more..

    Remember when Oscar said on ESPN FNF that Ortiz was the current best fighter in the world today.

    I remember Hoya saying Victor Ortiz is the next Manny Pacquiao...:D :lol: :rofl

    One of the biggest joke from Hoya and shame on him using Pacquiao's name to hype Ortiz... Hoya got smacked big time doing that...:lol:

    I actually agree with most of what has been written.

    But yes, Oscar was being a tool building the kid up into something he wasn't. But he had every right to get out of there if he wanted to. He's taking the punches, he's the one going to war, I hesitate criticizing any fighters actions when I'm not the one in the ring getting my ass fouled up and beaten red.

    I'm not sure if Hoya was referring to PAC's losses when he said Ortiz is the next Pacquiao... :D :lol: :rofl

    If that's the case then Ortiz has to lose two more times...:D :lol: :rofl

    Oscar needs to give it up and let the kid prove his worth in the ring.

    :patsch

    Cry me a ****ing river, Ring Magazine. I haven't bought this issue yet (Why isn't in shelves yet here!?) but this sounds like pure crap. The guy started to bleed, was asked, "Do you want to fight?" and said, "No."

    I read the article and thought it was quite balanced. Among other things, they criticize the excessive hyping of Ortiz.

    I thought they were over-hyping him too, saying he was boxing's next Golden Boy ala ODLH.
