By Thomas Gerbasi - When it comes to fighting style, background, and their current place in the boxing world, you probably couldn’t find two more different people than Samuel Peter and Victor Ortiz.
Ortiz is the new ‘Golden Boy?of Golden Boy Promotions ?charismatic, articulate, owner of a classic backstory, and a win or two away from a world title shot.
Peter is gruff with the media, equally so with his opponents, and for a brief moment in time he reached the top of the heap in a heavyweight division in dire need of some excitement, but then faded into the woodwork with the rest of the pretenders.
This month, both return to the ring in fairly high profile bouts. Ortiz faces former world champion Vivian Harris on the Shane Mosley-Sergio Mora undercard at STAPLES Center on September 18th.

Two different fights, two different countries, one common theme, and that’s redemption. [Click Here To Read More]
