On Saturday night, Oxnard's up and coming boxing star "Vicious" Victor Ortiz stunned the world. Being supported and marketed by Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Entertainment Ortiz was the "chosen one" who would take boxing to that next level. Unfortunately, Ortiz stunned the world in the wrong way. After 6 rounds of an intense fight, Ortiz decided he had had enough when ringside doctor said a cut was too bad for Ortiz to continue. And with that, Ortiz said he was done, the ref called the fight, and the dream came to an end.

What is more important than losing is how you rebound. If and when Ortiz returns to the ring, I'm sure the fans will be there to support him. Whether Golden Boy is, that is a whole other story.

Also in the sports news, USA stunned the world by taking a 2-0 lead over Brazil at halftime of the final for the FIFA Confederations Cup. Unfortunately, they also suffered the same fate as Ortiz and lost when Brazil scored three second half goals.  

It must have been a tough loss for the USA team especially after going in at the half with a lead over such a better team. And the second half showed who really was the better team. Hopefully, like Ortiz, the USA team will learn from this loss and get better.
