by Daniel Ciminera: Since losing to Marcos Maidana back in June last year, Victor Ortiz has had some serious questions asked of him as a fighter.

Ortiz, 22, made the mistake of trying to slug with a slugger and [...]

By Manuel Perez: Let me get some things straight for all the critics that have come out of the woodwork after Victor Ortiz’s 6th round stoppage loss last weekend against Marcos Maidana. Ortiz didn’t quit and wasn’t about to quit at the time the fight was stopped. The referee is the one that took Ortiz [...]

By Matt Stein: I personally think that light welterweight contender Victor Ortiz (24-2-1, 19 KOs) is a great fighter, possibly as good as his promoter Oscar De La Hoya thinks he is, but I’m not so sure that Ortiz has the chin or the intestinal fortitude to beat knockout artist Marcos Maidana (26-1, 25 KO’s) [...]

By Eric Hernandez: Tonight was suppose to be the out coming party for Victor Ortiz, instead what we might have gotten was a retiring party. After getting knocked out by Marcos Rene Maidana (26-1 25 ko’s) Victor Ortiz sounded like a man not long for this sport. I have stated in the past that [...]

By Brian Kenneth Blackwell: Pre-Fight Entrances:
Maidana comes out slowly. He is sporting a solid red robe. He wears a look of caution. It is his first fight in the United States. Ortiz comes out to a halfway packed house, wearing a green and white robe; his chin held high in machismo [...]

By Chris Williams: In a night of mismatches, typical of Golden Boy Promotions fights, James Kirkland stopped Joel Julio in the 6th round at The Tank in San Jose, CA. Kirkland, 24, was simply too strong for Julio, and got the better of him in every exchange during the short bout. Kirkland landed with the [...]

Ortiz, 21, knocked Arrieta, an Argentinean, [...]
