Poll: Is a Floyd-Ortiz Rematch Warranted/Worth it?

[InTheNeutralCorner]

ortiz dosn't want the rematch. watch the post fight press conference. he says he wants the rematch...but without conviction.

the kid is clearly a muppet just saying what he thinks he should. i doubt he has any thoughts of his own.

he's basically ronnie from the jersey shore.

Once they dangle the money offer again, of course Ortiz will want the rematch. But enough of that rematch talk, he isn't entitled to it.

[SweetPea]

No.

There was like 3 or 4 maybe 5 real good punches at most landed in that fight. They were all by Floyd, but to say Ortiz was out classed that bad and Floyd was that far ahead in the fight is crazy. Did you see the defense by both fighters? It was tight and near perfect by both. This was about to be not a good but a great fight. Ortiz hadnt even started to bring it yet. He was pickn his shots very nicely. Hate to see ortiz go out like that but on the other hand I hate to blame Floyd for having a fighters killer instinct. The ONLY solution is a rematch after the Pac fight.

Now I'm starting to agree with you. Floyd has to fight Pac first before he fights anyone else. But, now more than ever, he has an excuse not to fight Pacquiao. I wish the Mayweather-Ortiz fight did not do well so that there is no motivation for them to have the rematch ahead of a Pacquiao fight.

A rematch with Ortiz will only buy Floyd Jr time for another justification in ducking a faceoff with Pacquiao, or for a real fight with some other fighter deemed as more deserving.

Actually, the "hand picked" opponent, Victor Ortiz, was so out of his depth in this match with Floyd Mayweather Jr., as earlier pointed out here, that the deliberate multiple head butts he gave Mayweather was so moronic. No fighter in the right frame of mind will attempt this infraction. What adds to fuel odd questions was the manner by which it was executed.

It seemed as if the headbutts was seriously aimed, launched, and executed "for" and "to effect" damage, as reflected in the number of times it was attempted until it finally was technically put to stop by arbitration. As to its purpose, other than idiocy, your guess is as good as mine!

It is rather an easy conclusion that a rematch with these protagonists, Floyd Jr vs Ortiz, as one quite without a sensible reason, it is pointless. What is sensible tho' is to refrain from having these mismatches in the future.

Lets cut the mockeries to the sport to the bare minimum!

This fight was a mismatch from the getgo and that's without 20/20 hindsight. I've said that from day one. There is no need for a rematch of a mismatch.

[cambay411]

But Ortiz still got a point taken away. Ortizs mistake is seprate totally from what Floyd did. Ortiz heabutts Floyd, and in exchange gets a point deducted, recieves a power left hook to the chin, a power straight right to the chin, is robbed of his chance of even getting started in the fight. And on top of that he loses his belt. I agree Ortiz should have been "protecting himself at all times" but to say he deserved it for his headbutt I disagree there.

How would you sell a rematch? How are they gonna make another 24/7 series for it?

How are they going to sell Ortiz as a viable challenger? The whole intrigue of the first fight was if Ortiz's size and youth would cause Floyd problems, and if Floyd's inactivity and personal problems took anything out of him.

We CLEARLY saw Mayweather smashing Ortiz with lead rights at will and shutting out the majority of Ortiz's offense.

He had his shot and he blew it, bring on Pac or Khan.

[Beanflicker]

Did you see the defense by both fighters? It was tight and near perfect by both.

Ortiz had perfect defense? Did you not see him eating lead rights for 4 rounds straight?

[FinitoElDinamita]

Ortiz has a tight defense? Lmfao... Mayorga is a technician..

[cambay411]

I seen Floyd land about 4 or 5 decent straight rights maybe 2 or 3 of them nice and solid. The rest werent clean shots. Sounds like to many people were listening to the fake ass announcers. Watch the figth on mute.

[cambay411]

I dont see how anyone could say ethier fighter was clearly winning that fight at all. Or look at the first (and only) 4 rounds of that fight and say Floyd was going to smash him. Even if a fighter is bloodied up and beat in four rounds there is still 8 rounds to go. Even if it was the last round ortiz still has KO power.

[cambay411]

There needs to be a rematch sometime after the Pac fight. This fight was by far unfinished.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Omg lol.. You dont know shit about boxing.

[Mars_ax]

Controversial KO aside, Ortiz had no chance of winning the 1st fight, and he would have zero chance of winning a rematch, so what's the point? A rematch is a total waste of time, Mayweather needs to move on to bigger and better things, like Manny Pacquiao.
