NEVER let your guard down.

Victor Ortiz is an unlucky man, yet not one I feel sorry for. As expected with a clash of this magnitude, both fighters were as aggressive outside the ring as they were in it. They certainly did justice to prime time boxing, even if it was all over in the fourth.

Had Ortiz payed attention to the recent Khan v Judah fight (you would've hoped he was watching carefully, no?) and the controversy caused by the final decision there, then I expect that he would have refrained from flinging his arms wide and leaving himself open to all manner of mischief. Particularly after dishing out a Tyson-esque head-butt, followed by a kiss. Oo-er.
