Floyd will make him say UNCLE long before Maidana made him say it. Floyd KO 4.
No, Floyd isn't a hard hitter like Maidana and always starts cautiously. If he stops Ortiz in 4 then I will eat my socks. I can see it going the distance with Ortiz losing heart down the stretch. I want to be wrong though and thankfully I often am.
Yes... and Adamek to win by DQ.Quote:

I really think Floyd stops Ortiz, but I'll admit the -148 of Floyd by decision are tempting too.
In June 2005 I spoke to Arturo Gatti and Buddy McGirt on a conference call just before his fight with Floyd. I was working for a site called rabbitpunchboxing.com and was assigned to call in at that conference. Buddy and Arturo were saying the strategy they were going to beat Mayweather with was called "Hacoona Matata" whereby Gatti was going to try to hit Floyd right behind the left ear whenever he did that shoulder roll thing. Dont know why McGirt called it "Hacoona Matata" if thats slang for that part behind the ear or what. I spoke to Buddy first and then asked Arturo if it was true. He said yes, they were going to hit ANY AVAILABLE TARGET---hips, elbows, biceps, behind the ear, to try and inflict any kind of pain and slow him down. The problem was Floyd was so goddam fast, Gatti couldnt touch him anywhere, Hacoona Matata or anywhere else for that matter.
Now we're hearing Ortiz will try the same thing---hit any target legal or borderline-legal. I think despite the 6 years that have elapsed since Floyd's fight with Gatti, that Floyd hasnt really lost much speed if any, and that Ortiz will suffer the same fate as Arturo, who quit after 6. In fact Gatti had a better chin so Ortiz prob wont make it past 4 or 5 and will quit in the same fashion he quit against Maidana.
Dairy Queen, man. wtf are you talking about.?Quote:

I think Ortiz has redeemed himself against Berto and winning a version of the title.
Hard to say, Floyd gives so many looks and styles it's really anyone's guess? I really think the layoffs have given Floyd the opportunity to grow into a welterweight thats why he wasnt shy about facing Shane straight up and on the front foot even after being crumpled.
Is it conceivable Floyd fights straight ahead on the front foot dishing it out? Sure is, but at the same time so is a content to box his ear off scenario too.
I think Floyd will draw him in absorb hooks on his shoulders and arms in the shell just to rough Ortiz up and score big time inside. Floyd is a tremendous in fighter, couple that with some forearms and spoiling and I think he unnerves Ortiz and really drags him into deep cold water mentally to drown him. Ortiz will get cut fast and it will go down hill from there
I'm not saying that I'm never wrong... Just that Floyd, a cautious, relatively small and light punching welterweight is very very unlikely to stop Ortiz within 4 rounds.Quote:

I hope that Floyd does KO Ortiz in four, because that insane post has me dreading a 'cable guy' type of scenario from you if I am right again.
And like he quit against Berto ;)Quote:

That is one thing I like about you brocktonblockbust, you never gloat. :)
I really believe what Floyd can do who ever is opponent is AFTER he will knock out Alvarez this coming Sept.
wow this dude dug up my long-ago gloat as @Master put it. wtf...next we'll have Ron Fucking Price get on here about Bah a 'i Leon Spinks fucking coked-out fucking weasel Gold Medal 1976 Montreal US Dream Team etc......
No in all seriousness, thanks to @brianpaulyap thank you brother for digging this up, like a resurrection here, from over 2 years ago. Yeah Floydy will prolly rip that young fuck a new sphyncter, anus and descending sygmoid colon for all we have seen of him.
Did Floyd knock Ortiz out with a brutal assualt? Was the KO down to Floyd's devastating power, or was it just down to Ortiz being an idiot and getting himself cold clocked hugging Floyd/looking at the ref? It's hardly a gloat... More a case of a broken clock! ;)
NOBODY predicted the fight ending like it did!
I predict Saul will stop Floyd this time .
I hope so. Nice to see douche-weather get minced like a quail pie from Wrexham.

Funny way to quit!... :-\
