Victor Ortiz Not Dating Kobe Bryant's Ex-Wife

PrintVictor Ortiz says he's not dating Kobe Bryant's ex-wife Vanessa Bryant, despite any rumors. From Keith Idec at BoxingScene.com:
"I’ve never even been under the same roof as Vanessa Bryant. I don’t even know her. And I’m not even a Laker fan. I’m a Celtics fan, straight up. And I have nothing but respect for Kobe Bryant and that whole crew. But I don’t even think I’ve been under the same roof as his ex or his wife, or whatever she is. To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know what she looked like. I had to google her after they said that."
I like that even addressing this (non-)issue, Victor Ortiz manages to fumble about trying to use too many words. He has respect for Kobe Bryant and "that whole crew"? What whole crew? The Lakers? His teammates? Is Luke Walton part of "that whole crew"? Derek Fisher?
But I have to admit that I'm as stumped as Ortiz. I had no idea that was even a rumor.
Ortiz faces Andre Berto in a rematch on February 11, live on Showtime. Some are already theorizing that Golden Boy put all of this out into the world (if it was indeed in the world) to garner press for his fight. Maybe.

He meant Kobe’s lapdogs, Vic the Brick and Max Kellerman.

My guess for an Ortiz celebrity dating rumor would have been JoJo.

No, he’d already released a statement of denial on it, likely written by his manager, around Christmas.
I would like to deny any and all rumors that I am dating Vanessa Bryant. In fact, Mrs. Bryant and I have never met. It is unfortunate that during her family’s trying times in her relationship with Kobe, uncaring people start these rumors without any merit. The only date I have is with destiny on February 11, 2012, against Andre Berto. That is the only date I’m focusing on. Happy and healthy holidays to all. —via Zimbio, Dec. 26, 2011

gbp should get her a solo ringside seat near ortiz’s corner to give the rumor some serious legs.
is Ortiz boxing’s Ted from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure?

I also love how he adds “straight up.”
“I wouldn’t bang her, I don’t even like the Lakers. STRAIGHT UP.”

Are there any plans for SB nation to get a thumbs up and down thing going for comments? Just curious. I know a lot of blogs have them.
Not that I know. Above my pay grade though. Personally I’m against the idea. Like anything else, when you let too many people have their hands in the cookie jar, the pissing contest begins.

interesting image.
lol
But I agree with Scott…. On occaision, when a particulary heated debate flares up, you get about 6 people reccomending a comment of each side of the argument. It glorifies stupid ass comments IMO

I agree also.
Imagine a Mayweather-Pacquaaio debate with that foolishness

Failure is not an Option
If you're not first, you're last
If you are secretly seeing her Victor i have some advice for you. We dont know what Kobe brought home to Vanessa after all those years on the road
So…..Protect yourself at all times.

I’m a huge Laker fan. The fact that he’s still on the roster pisses me off immensely.

I imagine like many head-scratcher roster spots in all of sports, Luke Walton is a fantastic cards player. Pinochle. Gin. Poker (any game). He can play it all. Always has cards.

What a useless money-sink Luke Walton has been.

Last I checked he’s making somewhere ludicrous around like 7 mil a yr or something.

I understand. That was for BoxingOutlivesFads. I was appealing to the illicit, soft underbelly of boxing fandom.
Is there a way to PM?

Out of those, the fight I’m most looking forward to is Klitschko-Chisora. That’s going to be a war.

Ugh. Klitschko-Mormeck will be so, so dull.

I’ll bet you a whole dollar that it won’t be. If Chisora is lucky, it’ll take 10 or 11 rounds, but it will be a massacre, whether short or long.
You might be right. But I’m positive it’s going to be extremely good fun to watch.

I’ll grant you that this will generate a lot of excitement.
And just as a reminder, I’m never right.

It’ll get you perhaps 1/3 of a cup of coffee, or perhaps 1/10 of a decent glass of wine, here.
I remember once in Chicago, getting the best glass of Shiraz that I had ever tasted. I then found that it was $17.
But, I’m wandering. What the hell is a Freddo bar?
DrRck, you’ve never had a Freddo!? And there was me thinking you were a man of fine taste and culture…

A freddo bar is a 20p Chocolate bar (Used to be 10p)
