Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Boxing needs a young American superstar. It may have one in Victor Ortiz.
In the final undercard fight before tonight's Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao main event, Ortiz absolutely dominated Jeffrey Resto, beating him on a second-round TKO and improving his record to 23-1-1. But it's the way he conducted himself in the ring after the fight that makes me think the 21-year-old Ortiz is the star boxing needs.
First, after destroying Resto, he showed great sportsmanship, walking over to him, checking to see if he was OK, and then giving him a hug. Next, and even more importantly, in his post-fight interview on the pay-per-view broadcast, Ortiz showed that he's smart, articulate and likable. He gave all the right answers, made self-deprecating jokes, and concluded the interview by addressing HBO's Larry Merchant as "Sir."
Ortiz has an inspiring personal story, having risen up from horrible circumstances in his childhood to make something of himself. He's not just a skilled boxer with a powerful left hand, he's a great kid whose young life is the stuff of Hollywood screenplays. Ortiz is the star boxing needs.
