“I Don't Blame Ortiz”

Published

on

“I don't blame Ortiz for sitting out the 9th round either. My day job is working out of the comfort of my bedroom using a PC. Personally I wouldn't spend five minutes on that job if my jaw was broke. I wonder how much harder is it to fight with a busted jaw? Boxers should be able to make the best decision for thier own health and welfare. I feel sorry for the ones that feel they have to go out on a stretcher just to please the fans. What a tragic and a false sense of bravado.” –Brown Sugar, ever a decent soul, speaks up for Ortiz
