    Who wins? Ortiz was the better technical boxer, but Arguello had by far more firepower.

    Ortiz is arguably the greater lightweight, but I like Alexis to win by decision because I think his punches and the quality of them is what will win more of the rounds... Ortiz was very versatile, a jack of all trades, he could punch a little, move a little, press, conserve, forward, backward, all of it but he didn't do any one thing (in this case either press or go off the backfoot) to beat Arguello... I think he does so much well that he has pockets of success doing all of it, but he loses the decision, probably rocked somethng awful the last 6 minutes or so

    Arguello. He hit harder and the judges would reward that. Plus Alexis was a smart fighter in his own right.

    Alexis is one of the most enjoyable fighters to watch
