you should go on a ring before coming with a statement like this. Unfortunately for him Ortiz has not a solid chin. He can’t do anything for fixing that. Against a certain level fighter he will always get knocked out.
I fought in the streets of a town you wouldn’t last an hour in. Keep these s*cker replies to youself
none of them is ready for garcia or another top 5 welterweight, it will an easy money for brook, porter or thurman

Keep the good work!!. You are our best accountant :-)
Nice to know how much the guys do in each fight but no many like Floyd-Manny hehehehe.
Peanuts compared to that lol
It would have been an upset for Berto to lose to a shot Fighter like Ortiz although Berto is has mileage on his jaw and legs as well.Bradley vs Berto looks like a good match and step in the right direction for Berto.
@ATBF: Why only two stars? Ortiz landed some good straight lefts and short hooks in the first three rounds and even scored a flash kd. Berto’s uppercut on the first kd was a piece of fine art, perfectly timed, a trap set perfectly with the jab. A total of three knockdowns in 3 and a half rounds, good skills display on both sides, the overall pace was good, really I don’t get it. To me this a 3 stars fight at least.
Hi Olivier, we have seen the fight a second time and here it is how we rate it round by round:
1round = 2.5* stars
2r = 2.5*
3r = 2*
4r = 3.5*
TOTAL= 10.5
Average/rounds 10.5/4= 2.625
The average is below 3 so for us it is a two-stars-fight. Anyway…you know that every user can rate the fight in a different way and we are happy to see that a lot of fans rated this bout in a different way because we don’t have only our boxing ranking but there is also the users’ one.

Thank you very much for your fast reply and action.
Good technical and tactical fight with knock downs and a good stoppage. Both boxers still have quick hands and are in quite good shape however this lose for Ortiz may be expedite his retirement since is not fighting much and lately getting far too many TKOs. The fight deserves 3 starts because the knock downs and technicality displayed.
