In another big-money match-up, red-headed Mexican Canelo Alvarez vs Victor Ortiz has been announced for September 15th. Both of these men have had problems finding opponents recently. Alvarez had two fights fall through, one with Paul Williams and then recently with James Kirkland. Victor Ortiz was scheduled to face Andre Berto twice, and both of those fights fell through also.
In the end, despite all the previous disappointment, this looks to be a really good fight. I’m picking the undefeated Canelo Alvarez to win, but as the cliche goes, this will be his biggest test. Victor Ortiz, although not without his flaws, is a young hungry fighter. He has some good wins, but never seems to win the champion fights.
Personally, I’m much more excited about the Sergio Martinez-Julio Cesar Chavez Jr fight, but I’m still glad that boxing has some fights I actually want to see. Both boxing and MMA have been kind of boring lately…. I think both sports are in desperate need of some new stars.

“I’m doing a drug test today to build confidence with the Nevada state athletic commission and because I respect and appreciate the UFC.”
“And to let junior know I am a clean fighter, I’m all natural Junior.. and I am coming for you “
I was going to say I couldn’t even remember the last time I laughed so hard, but then I remembered: Greg Jackson’s “go get some Donald Cer-ro-NEY!”

I can’t take guys like him or Cris Cyborg seriously. The only thing worse than the drugs is when they swear they are clean…
i love cris cyborg, she’s bad a**! but overroid is a narcissist who’s been using for years. greg jackson is the equivalent to freddie roach. i have mixed feelings about him.
The UFC is killing my Friday with a mediocre event…
Yup, that’s him. I almost wet myself when I saw this live.
I really dislike Cyborg.
Her photoshopped Gina Carano pic was a low blow, but the amount of drugs she uses and the fact that she still denies it is what really makes me sick.
I know people from Chute Boxe and the guys there say she really is a man. She only trains with men ’cause no clean woman can take her…
lol, are you sure that was really greg jackson and not a gay fan.
“Red-Headed Mexican” lol
he’s boxings archie. the fact that he’s mexican, just makes if funnier.
