Quote of Note
Ortiz By KO6
“Even with the Mayweather disaster, Ortiz is an improving fighter, in fact that stage and being in with the smarts and skill of Mayweather have made Ortiz a better fighter even in such defeat. Berto hasn't improved since he was 11 years old… sad…His last fight showed him looking the same ol and even maybe a bit worse, he really is a confused package…such great hand speed and pop with horrible footing and foot agility along with an immature boxing IQ and inability to adapt….i see Ortiz knocking Berto out in 6 and calling Mayweather or Pacman out with none jumping to fight him.” –TSS reader Amayseng likes Ortiz in the rematch
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
