That dude quit... again. He needs to stop. No wonder he's hated by his own people. Glass jaw and a glass heart. Take your ass back to Kansas, Ortiz.
Gary Russell looked sharp. That prospect in the 2nd fight looked good, too... Gomez, I think.
"No wonder he's hated by his own people." Not sure what this is supposed to mean.
Ortiz was touted as trhe next Oscar De La Hoya by Golden Boy Promotions when he came out. He has (d) all the athletic ability. As soon as he was matched up even he started to slide. After the Mayweather fight, I saw him and talked to him. He said he wanted to offer Mayweather a rematch even if he didn't get paid. He was doing some interviews. Soon after he went back to school. Did marathons and stuff. His interest in boxing seemed to have gone.
He was prepared against Lopez. Had a good training camp but then suffered that injury. I think that took everything he had left for the sport.
Sad to see a guy with so much potential go this rout. Reminds me of Francisco "Panchito" Bojado.
