Following the demise of Mike Tyson and running through the reign of retired British heavyweight kingpin Lennox Lewis, American heavyweight boxing fans search for a savior seems like it’s been going on forever. For a brief period of time, Evander Holyfield was that man as he took out Tyson conqueror Buster Douglas, had an epic trilogy with Riddick Bowe, and later dispatched Mike Tyson. While still an attraction at the time and for years to come, Tyson lost most of his steam en route to his KO loss at the hands of Douglas. Following his release from prison and reemergence on the heavyweight scene, while he maintained his drawing power and the aura of “The...

On June 27th, HBO televised what was supposed to be Victor Ortiz’s coronation as the WBA “interim junior-welterweight champion of the world.”
The 22-year-old Ortiz has been groomed for stardom and still might make it there someday. But at a point in his career when the competition should have been stepped up to harden him for a championship run, he was put in soft. That enabled Victor to preserve his shiny record and look great on television. But it didn’t prepare him to fight Marcos Maidana (a rugged Argentinean with a solid punch who comes to fight). At the start of HBO’s June 27th Boxing After Dark...

It all seemed so perfect for Victor Ortiz, Golden Boy Promotions and HBO. Needing a nascent young superstar to carry them into the future, it looked like after two explosive rounds they had found their man. The 22-year old Ortiz, who came with the requisite looks, background story and entertaining style, had floored Argentinian Marcos Maidana three times in the first two frames - while suffering a knockdown of his own in the first.
He was on his way. As you looked out into the audience at the Staples Center (announced at just over 8,600) you could just feel it. The crowd was on its feet and energized...
