When last we saw Victor Ortiz, he got knocked out by Floyd Mayweather Jr. on a borderline sucker punch. (Defend yourself at all times, bro.) Tonight he returned to the ring against Josésito López. With a win, Ortiz could have been looking at a fight with undefeated Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Oh well. López broke Ortiz’s jaw and Ortiz asked out after the 9th round.

As you can see from the second image, Ortiz was up on the judge’s scorecards when the fight ended. Of course, we don’t know what David Stern and Bob Arum were planning if Ortiz went the distance. If you’re interested, you can watch the whole fight at Iron Forges Iron.
