Ortiz Has Exciting Style for Mayweather Fight
LAS VEGAS September 17, 2011 (AP)
Victor Ortiz knocks people down, and he's done it every time he has stepped into the ring. He also goes down, twice in his last fight alone.
It's a pattern that can make for exciting fights. It's also a style that plays right into the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mayweather returns to the ring for the first time in 16 months Saturday night, facing Ortiz in a fight for a piece of the welterweight title. His experience and great defense make him a big favorite, but Mayweather vows this fight will be entertaining from the opening bell.
"I'm coming straight ahead," Mayweather said. "This fight is not going the distance." ABC NEWS

Mayweather (41-0, 25 KO) and Ortiz (29-2-2, 22 KO) are incredibly different fighters. Mayweather, a slick right-hander who is in many ways small for the welterweight division, dominates foes with technique and incredible boxing I.Q.
Ortiz is a strong southpaw with power in both hands who has put every one of his opponents -- win, lose, or draw -- on the canvas. The question most have is whether or not he's truly good enough to be a real threat to Floyd. In his last fight, Ortiz was involved in a life-or-death struggle (and a great fight) in a deserved win over Andre Berto, a fighter nobody is going to confuse with Mayweather any time soon. And the fight before that, Ortiz went to a draw against Lamont Peterson.
Oddsmakers say that Ortiz will be just another Mayweather opponent when the dust has settled.

ReplyDeleteThere is currently no word on if he survived the crash.

Let me guess...
I have no interest in watching any mayweather fights or hearing anything about him because he's always ducking Manny Pacquiao. Everyone wants to see that fight but Mayweather keeps running away from making it happen.
