Victor Ortiz shared the details surrounding his title fight against Marcos Maidana. Ortiz revealed that he entered the ring with a broken wrist. Despite his severe injury, Ortiz said he was pressured by Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions to proceed with the fight. Ortiz's performance was gutsy; he and Maidana exchanged knockdowns in the early rounds. However, Ortiz was cut in the fifth round and knocked down again in the sixth, leading to the fight's cessation. Ortiz faced substantial backlash for allegedly quitting, which deeply affected him. He drew parallels to Mike Tyson's resentment towards the public, describing how he himself became more guarded and detached as a result.
