Former Welterweight Boxing Champion Victor Ortiz Tells His Life Story (Full Interview)

[@understandablesmoothish]

I read the comments before I watched and I was ready to laugh at him playing the victim. After 25 minutes of watching I actually feel really sorry for the guy. He's not playing a victim at all. He made it through tough times. Respect

[@stevelafleur1164]

He’s one of the nicest human beings and very caring. He’s not telling everything

[@colemanjudah2606]

I’m so glad that I watched this interview. It was nice getting to know Victor. What a great mind. Stay genuine, Victor, and God will show you new and wonderful things.

[@D3athN0t3]

90% of boxing fans or online fighters never laced up a pair of gloves in their lives that would talk smack about fighters. These fighters fight for our entertainment. All fighters deserve respect regardless

[@iselect1012]

He lied a lot about some of these fights. I watched all the fights he talked about here. He made a lot mistakes & doesn’t own up to anything

[@positive_vibes_2427]

I love his story telling skills and impersonations, especially Oscar’s! Memory is on point too!

[@Albert-fo6ik]

Whatever people say about Victor Ortiz,man he's got hands and did kick alot of ass. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being confident about ones skills. And Victor definitely has skills.people talk shit and could never back it up. Id pay to watch some of these so called fans who texted in commenting about Victor negatively back there talk with the walk. Mr. Ortiz I believe you when you said you would beat Floyd and Canelo. After all anything can happen in the ring when two men are put to the test. Praise God Victor for letting Jesus into your life. I'm genuinely happy for you. You are the champ,Amen.

[@JuanraGarcia-b1w]

Lol, Victor was gonna fight Canelo but before that he had a tune up fight with Josesito Lopez, and Josesito broke his jaw and he quit. After that Josesito was given the Canelo fight and Canelo destroyed Josesito. Canelo would have left Victor in a Coma.

[@MarkGrijalva]

​@@JuanraGarcia-b1wYou are one of those haters I just mentioned in a prior comment.. Quit!.. Victor Quit? He was winning the Fight!.. but He had a Broken Jaw...I don't know if you ever had a broken jaw but it hurts like a motha!

[@Medrano15]

All I have to say is,we need a full movie on this guy…….love the story of his life,and definitely a very nice guy.23 kids and he comes out on top,great story from foster homes to taking his little nephew to the gym,plus walking 3 miles back and forth every day…….wow definitely a great story,we need that.

Victor told some questionable stories but one thing y'all can't deny is his De La Hoya impression is on point 😂

[@lukvargs8707]

Just curious why is it questionable? Were you there in his life ? Or because your not a fan of his or he beat someone you like or headbutted mayweather? I ask cause I’m not a fan of his too but we should never judge . We should always question how is our own life going

[@triptre3638]

Why did Vlad have to congratulate Victor Ortiz and down grade him at the same time to open up an interview…… WTF Vlad!

[@adrianvaldez9141]

I see alot of people clowning him and calling him a quitter. Alot of his stories do seem awkward but can't deny the kid can fight and has heavy hands win,lose, or draw it takes balls to step in that ring. I actually felt sorry for him after watching this interview I wish Victor well 🙏

Fun fact: I met Ron Lyle in 2003 at a boxing smoker in Denver. He was the coach of Red Shield. I saw him in the bathroom and I fan boyed out and grabbed his hand and shook it. He smiled and was super nice. His hands were huge like bananas. I can see how he put Foreman down multiple times.

I’m glad Victor showed his appreciation for Fernando Vargas I think people forget the impact he had on us Mexican American kids coming up in the 90s and 2000s he was our generations great! And taught everyone at a young age it costed him his career but he never backed down. I faught from 03-10 damn I miss them days

[@ruesterjones1332]

I gotta say this. Mike Tyson did not get mad at Vlad. He simply asked a question then explained why he mentioned those guys. There was never a tense moment. I had to state this because he constantly brings that moment up. There was no issues there.
