Victor Ortiz vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[SRR]

I definitely think this will be his toughest fight in recent memory. Mosley was shot, JMM a blown up LW, ODLH was shot, he said it himself. I think his heart will be tested even more than the Maidana fight, Floyd will frustrate him throughout the night and Vic will have to keep coming through punches. I would love for Vic to get the win

It would have to be considered a big upset, let's hope Ortiz doesn't get screwed on the Judges scorecards if it goes to a decision. Vic is the 'Champion', so it's up to Floyd to take the title, and Vic ain't gonna give it up easy.

I agree 100%, Ortiz is not going to make it easy for Floyd. He's going to have to get the KO to get the win. If it goes to a decision i can't see him winning it. I'm really pulling for Vic, i'm tired of listening to the Mayweathers.

Really? You think a slugger like Vic is gonna land more clean shots than Floyd, one of the slickest defensive fighters I've seen, and also one of the best counter-punchers? DLH may say now 'I was shot' but how much is that for his own ego, and how much was it for Ortiz's? Fact is DLH was a far superior fighter to Ortiz, and he put a lot of pressure on Mayweather and had some early success with the jab. Keep in mind, though, that DLH was a great fighter, with a lot of ring experience, who came up with (imo) the correct game plan to give Mayweather trouble/beat him, yet he couldn't stick to it for 12 rounds, and even when he was leading with the jab and throwing 3,4 punches from different angles, Floyd was dodging/blocking 95% of his shots and hitting DLH *between* his shots. His aggression and partial success, however (along with the fact a lot of Mayweather's timed shots were probably not seen clearly over DLH's flailing, windmill arms), and of course, his name, no doubt ensured a SD, BUT tbh it could easily have been a UD. There is no way Vic will win on the cards, unless he manages to knock Floyd down, but even should he get the nod in that case I would imagine PBF would still finish the fight with a much higher connection percentage. I guess it comes down to how you score fights, but personally I've always thought the bottom line of *boxing* was to out-box your opponent. I really see only three possible outcomes: Floyd UD; Floyd SD; Floyd TKO. Of course there is an outside chance that Ortiz could land a good shot and KO Floyd, or KD him and then jump all over him, but I don't think he is as heavy handed as Shane, nor does he have that man's experience. The one thing he does have on his side is youth, and he should jump on Floyd early and try to mug him, but I think in the end Ortiz's style is gonna land him in serious trouble, he could even be dismantled in a similar way to Hatton, though his chin should stand up to any punishment PBF can dish out much better than Hatton's did. Time will tell - one punch (from either fighter) can change it all, in anycase, and if the fight is nothing else, I think it should be interesting to watch.
