Serhii showed Ortiz a thing or two about Mexican style.

Vergil’s stamina got him the victory! Crawford will be a different animal! Footwork on a different level, Defense on a different level! Plus Bud can switch to Southpaw too! I see why Oscar would rather Tim Tszyu! However Turki owns Oscar, so we’re gonna get the fight, with Shakur vs. Zepeda as co-main! That’s gonna be FIRE!!!

If a fight is this close (haven't seen it yet) they say the champion deserves the decision. The challenger must take the title, not just sc**** by.

Who's 'they' - that's not how it works.
How it works in practice is the A side will win all the close rounds regardless if he's the champ or the challenger.

So where does Ortiz and Bohachuck go from here? I think SB should go clean up the B. Adams problem he has before I'd want to see the rematch. The Sheik wants Ortiz vs Crawford but I like Ortiz vs Tsyzu first...yes I'm selfish but boy that'd be a great fight. If Timmy wins his next fight, it'd be worth paying to see. I'm not interested in seeing Crawford jab his way to a decision vs anyone but Ennis.

Pacquiao wishes this were true when he fought Bradley and Horn

Ortiz won't be the same fighter after this fight.


He is made for Crawford, stands square on to deliver his power shots, bud will be licking his chops

Once the fight start, there's no more champion, just two men fighting and the best men win
