September 17, 2011 will be the date Victor Ortiz fight Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in a very much anticipated boxing match. Will Victor Ortiz Upset Floyd Mayweather, Jr. In Their Upcoming Bout?
Many boxing fans around the world are tired of watching Floyd Mayweather's stick and move style. Boxing fans tend to want to see more action rather than watch someone be on the run and defense all the time. Life is tough nowadays and people want to get their money's worth whether they watch a boxing match live or pay-per-view. Most fans are tired hearing and reading Floyd Mayweather's excuse and duck style just to avoid fighting Manny Pacquiao. Boxing fans want to see him lose and get his ass kicked. But will Victor Ortiz Upset Floyd Mayweather, Jr. In Their Upcoming Bout?
Ortiz is a right-hander who nevertheless chooses to fight from a southpaw stance. He is naturally right-handed but his power is built on his left hand. Victor Ortiz is a good fighter. Ortiz fought Andre Berto for the WBC welterweight title on April 16, 2011 at the Foxwoods Resort Casino, Mashantucket. Ortiz won the fight by unanimous decision over Berto. The judges scored the match 115-110, 114-112 and 114-111 all for the new WBC Welterweight Champion. He has a record of 29 wins with 22 knockouts with 2 losses and 2 draws. His first defeat suffered under the hands of Marcos Rene Maidana of Argentina. He lost when ringside a ringside doctor stopped the fight in the 6th round due to Victor Ortiz' swelling on his eye and a cut on the other. The fight was close. Both fighters were knocked down the first round and Maidana was down twice in the second round. Victor Ortiz' second loss was a disqualification to Corey Alarcon.
Will this be enough for Victor Ortiz to upset Floyd Mayweather, Jr.? Boxing is a game of uncertainty. Too many countless upsets I have seen in boxing history. But because Victor Ortiz has power in both hands and has the style to beat Floyd Mayweather, I think he has a great chance to beat him. Andre Berto is surely not at Floyd Mayweather's caliber, but not a push over fighter either. Manny Pacquiao better be ready for either of these fighters, but first, he must beat Juan Manuel Marquez.
