Victor dont have to fight anymore and hes the champion of the world! How about San Victor! Ya all Fu—– Friscos if you disagree.
Victor Ortiz will be CHAMPION of the WORLD!
not guna happen
This fight and Kirkland on the undercard, Golden Boy keeps doing it better than Bob Arum and Top Rank
@ Big T
No I am not.
ortiz would dis-mantle murray in 8 rounds
ortiz is a dam puzzy!!!!!!!!!!!
i meant Golden Boy is possably tring to set up a Rematch for Ortiz and Maidana if they both win
cant wait! maybe Top Rank is trying to set up a Ortiz vs Maidana rematch if all goes well!
These are the people Murray must fight the lightweight division is one of the toughest around.Go Johnny go,Murray to grind Ortiz down.
good thing for ortiz to stay active. Dont think murrays brain trust would be wise to take this fight though. Criticize victor if you will but the past is the past. #1 in the most improved catagory. Watch out.
Ortiz is a smart, hard hitting fighter who i think would destroy murray by the 6th round. i hope he gets a rematch with Maidana. i think he’ll knock him out this time.
Murray.NEVER HEARD OF HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ DaBlakeman
I really don’t think that John Murray has the kind of power that Marcos Maidana has.
Hasn’t Murray been inactive for a while? I haven’t heard much about him in a while can any one enlighten me? I have seen him fight in the past an he looks decent I’d like to see him fight ortiz I don’t believe the step up in weight would be a problem but the step up in class might! Even so he hasn’t tested himself at that level and even if he got beat by a close decision in a good fight his stature would be greater than it is right now heck he could win I still think there are question marks over ortiz heart if he gets in a real brawl does he have it in him to really dig deep an come through the other side? Hopefully murray can provide that test if the fight is made. Got to give victor his props at the weekend though he looked good and alot more confident against Harris!
Is this Joe Mitchell the very decent journeyman pro from the UK?
i could bet my left testicle , ortiz would ko murray inside 5 rounds.
he’ll destroy john murray
I’m confident that Ortiz has the overall skills to beat anyone at 140. I’ll be the first to say that a fighter that beats Ortiz can go all the way. Ortiz learned a hell of a lot in the Maidana fight and Ortiz would win the rematch. I just want to see the best at 140 fight, sooner than later.
make your move fast GBP, TOP RANK is leaving you behind…..
He doesnt say ortiz is washed up, he says ortiz has been fighting washed up fighters ie nate campbell and vivian harris.
Murray would get outboxed and knocked out.
I don’t think Ortiz is washed up since his lose to Maidana, hes looked pretty sharp last couple of fights!
This fight won’t happen, as Murray is in line for a title shot at light weight, why ruin the chance of a possible World title and bigger pay days just to fight Ortiz?
Murry is a good boxers hope he can win.
Ortiz all the way
@ cuthbert
Is this John Murray big enough to compete at 140.
Vicot ortiz deserves a title shot !!
based on murrays last outing, i see ortiz taking him out on the 8th or 9th
