Ortiz demands a rematch after some dodgy scoring to lose on a SD

Forget that, JLC wants that belt.

And once he has it he'll smash Ortiz right in the chops with it.

As it stands we'll take a Ortiz rematch over JLC but we're not going to rush into anything before the next matchups thread appears. Is a IBO / WTF unification on the cards? Lewis and Ambers are both ranked 15 or under.

The ONLY thing better than a shot at a belt, is to have the pleasure of seeing the noobs run in fear once GBP steps up and sets the challenge. We view your decision as a badge of honor, giving credence to how we ALWAYS scare the bejabbers out of the competition.
