Victor Ortiz is still a better opponent than anyone Thurman has faced thus far and unless Thurman KO's him, he can give Thurman all types of trouble being that he's bigger, faster, and has very good power in both hands.

I think it's a good step up in competition for Thurman, but still a winnable fight for Thurman where he will be the favorite.

If we get Victor "The Quitter" Ortiz, then the 1st big shot Thurman lands, the fights over. If we get the Ortiz who's fighting for his career, like against Berto, we may get a FOTY candidate

Views From The X


For the second time in 10 months, the California State Athletic Commission upheld promoter Dan Goossen's promotional contract with super middleweight champion Andre Ward, who has been seeking to terminate the agreement.

Ward previously lost an arbitration hearing before the commission in June 2013. On Wednesday, arbitrator Andy Foster, the executive officer of the commission, ruled in Goossen's favor following an April 9 hearing at which Ward did not show up and did not testify, leaving his legal team to argue the case.

Ward's contract with Goossen was declared valid until Nov. 8, 2016, according to Foster's ruling.

"It's now time to sit down with Andre and his advisers to put these legal disputes behind us and concentrate on getting Andre back to fighting consistently inside the ring," Goossen said. "Andre and I have had success together and there's no reason not to get back on track as a team to secure his status as the top fighter in the world behind Floyd Mayweather."

Reached by ESPN.com, Ward said he was on the other line with his attorney and declined to comment.

Ward's side argued his contract should be over based on California's seven-year limit on personal services contracts. Ward has been promoted by Goossen since his pro debut in December 2004, which followed his winning an Olympic gold medal in Athens.

In April 2011, Ward signed a three-year contract extension with Goossen, for which he received a $550,000 signing bonus, according to the ruling obtained by ESPN.com. But both sides agreed during the June 2013 arbitration that the agreement did not go into effect until Sept. 8, 2012, the day that Ward knocked out Chad Dawson. Before the Dawson fight, Ward had been sidelined for nine months because of an injury.

In December, Goossen asked the commission to arbitrate a second dispute over the length of the agreement. He argued that Ward should be under contract for 16 more months due to time missed for injuries as well as Ward's reluctance to allow him to set up his next fight. Ward's side said it didn't recognize the commission's authority, but said any extension should be for no more than six months. The promotional agreement between Ward and Goossen gives the commission the authority to decide any issues in arbitration, according to the ruling.

Foster ruled the contract should be extended for 14 months, a clear Goossen win.

"Of course I'm pleased with the decision. It was the right result both morally and legally," said attorney Bert Fields, who argued the case for Goossen. "Ward's a great fighter, but it was Goossen who helped build his professional career and put him in position to command the really big bucks."

Ward (27-0, 14 KOs) has not fought since easily outpointing Edwin Rodriguez in November. He has only fought twice since December 2011, when he easily outpointed Carl Froch to unify 168-pound titles and win the Super Six World Boxing Classic.

After Ward, 30, lost the first arbitration case, he agreed to fight Rodriguez under Goossen's banner and then once again sought to terminate the contract after the fight. Besides the signing bonus, Ward was paid $3.65 million total for the bouts against Dawson ($1.75 million) and Rodriguez ($1.9 million), according to the ruling.{/QUOTE]
