    Will Ortiz ever fully recover mentally?

    Ortiz put on a sound safe performance in out pointing Campbell but he seemed ultra cautious and more interested in not losing than winning. He has just not seemed the same mentally and emotionally since the Maidana beating. after some fights the fighters are never the same eg John Mugabe after Hagler and Don Curry after Lloyd Honeyghan. This tends to happen after a long drawn out beating rather than a flash knock down KO. The beating Maidana put on Ortiz was long prolonged and brutal the type that can change a fighter for ever

    . Do you think he will ever fully recover mentally and fight with the confidence he had before Maidana?

    FYI I like him. he has had to overcome a lot and is honest and I would like to see him get back to his best but am not sure that is going to happen.

    Ortiz will get back to his old form. The Maidana beating will only be a blip in his career

      Hopefully he will. He is a good boxer.

        When he got pushed, he broke.

        You can't teach chin, and you can't teach heart. He seems to have a decent chin, but he has no heart.

          The thing is, he was known for having a bad chin before the Maidana fight.

          They fed him soft fighters forever, and than Maidana came out of no-where. GBP also gave him lots of money and treated him like he was Hoya part 2.

          I've never understood why HBO allows promoters to build fighters on their time and their money. It's a complete waste. I don't think he will fully recover. He's not a great boxer, and was entertaining when he still had his balls. Without them I don't see what he's worth. Especially in a stacked division, Peterson probably rips him apart. Bradley or alexander, forget it.
