Ortiz: I’m going to end Mayweather’s career on September 17th
August 16th, 2011
By Jason Kim: A couple of years ago Victor Ortiz (29-2-2, 22 KO’s) was one of the most mannered fighters in the welterweight division. Always joking and quick with a smile, he was someone that seemed to lack the intensity to be a major player in the welterweight division.
However, something changed in Ortiz this year when he fought WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto in April. Ortiz went from a nice easy going fighter to an angry slugger, someone that wanted to take his opponent’s heads off.
Ortiz tore into Berto, knocking him down twice and giving him a sustained beating for 12 rounds. Ortiz is now facing arguably the best fighter in boxing in unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr (41-0, 25 KO’s) on September 17th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Instead of acting deferential to Mayweatyher, Ortiz is showing him little respect and letting him know that he’s not going to come in and take away his WBC title on September 17th.
Mayweather looks a little off kilter from the seriousness and the intensity coming from Ortiz, and hasn’t been able to shake him with his trash talking thus far.
Ortiz said this to the dailystar.co.uk: “He has a great record, but it will be over when we meet…His career is going to be over after I climb into the ring with him.”
The outcome of the Ortiz-Mayweather fight has huge implications for the welterweight division, because the winner of the fight is going to be in the position to get two really big money fights against Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao. And we’re not even counting the rematch between Mayweather and Ortiz if they choose to have one.
For Ortiz, he literally could be set for life with the money that he’ll make from beating Mayweather and the subsequent fights against Khan and/or Pacquiao.

Mayweather is great boxer but he never faced a great body puncher. If Ortiz weakens him with body blows, the head will stop bobbing and rolling like he’s used to. If Ortiz try to head hunt, then he will lose like the previous 41 oppponents did trying to catch Floyd’s head. Double hook to the body and then upstairs.
Ortiz should have a good defence first. Ortiz can beat mayweather. Mayweather is weak on the body and Ortiz should give mayweather strong body shots early in the fight. Ortiz will give Mayweather his first loss. Sorry guys but Ortiz is really a strong puncher but the question is can Ortiz land those big shots?! If he can land those shots Mayweather is going to be KOed!
41 were put in front of him and 41 came up short…..
I think Ortiz is coming off a high with his win over Berto. It’s a decent fight I’m looking forward to. Floyd has been off 16 months and he may have some ring rust. Ortiz is a young solid fighter so it looks to be good.
alot of his oppenents say there are gonne do the same to floyd, but he makes them look like amateurs
You can always tell when someone lacks confidence, they start talking about what they are going to do as if to pump themself up. Ortiz has the body language of someone who has already been defeated. Ortiz won’t see the 12th round in his defeat.
everyone want’s to see Flyod KOd ME TOO!!!
erik and canelo will bring in 90% of revenue for this boxing event… having floyd fight in their undercard.

ZDRX -
I’m sure you were SO entertained during the Mosley/Pacquiao fight, right? Possibly the worst fight I’ve seen in 3 years.
Giving each other high-fives the entire time. Talk about paid…
***********************************************************
yeah talk about paid…that’s how floyd-shane was. shane is a deadly finisher if his opponent is in trouble. but look what he did. HE LET FLOYD RECOVER!!!!!!!ha…ha…ha…
shane was extra friendly to remind pacman that they are friends. he’s just too damn scared after hitting the floor. look, when he accidentally pushed pacman…and pacman came roaring. shane panicked…beggeing his corner to stop the fight. is this how the slick AA fighter from the inner cities fight? at least shane is not an “N” like some noisy you know who.
bri
i think mayweather was sleeping a little bit untill ortiz started all the talk. He woke up a sleeping lion and that was stupid. Its good he is talking its bringing more hype to the fight. 24/7 is gona be crazy. @zdrx….. Have fun with manny marquez…
******************************
what a touching hype…ssoooooo dramatic full of $ht.. sleeping lion? what’s that? it’s sleeping dragon, stupid.
that’s one reason ticket sales ain’t moving. floyd-ortiz needs every hype it needs. read my replies in previous article.
Sounds to me like Vicious Victor is ready to fight. If he is supposed to be worried about Mayweather, he didn’t get the word.
Pacman sells quality fights? WHAT?
When?
If you consider fighting former champions and stablemates coming off losses quality, then ok. Seeing Pac flail away at the turtle Clotty is not my cup of tea. I believe that is the last Pac fight I have watched.
I do beleive that Marquez / Pac will be an entertaining fight though. That is because a good style match up.
Marquez can not win at this age or weight though.
I hope Ortiz break Froidchiken mouth in this fight, so he cannot use his badmouth towards other boxer…
Ortiz shut the fuc***k of this Nig****rrr Froidmaynever bad mouth…
I think the kid will do well. by that i mean, he will make it a competetive for the first 5 rounds before floyd steps it up a gear and completley shuts him out of the fight… then he will continue to duck manny and take the khan fight. i reckon khan has the speed, skill, power and trainer to beat mayweather…. 2012 mayweather retires for good record reads 42-1……

Jajajaja this kid is so funny!!! to Ortiz beating Floyd is like hit the lottery, he may need a miracle to beat mayweather!!!! Same for pacquiao
****************************************************
so…what’s the need to see this fight? why spend 50 just to see a snoozer?
see pacman-marquez instead…it’ll be action packed fight from start ’til it lasts.
Ortiz, its good you think that because that will make Floyd beat you even easier. Yoiu will over commit yourself, swing wild and try to rush at him, a perfect recipe for Floyd to drop you early. This comment by you proves your inexperience.
you can forget floyd…but don’t forget to buy pacman-marquez. pacman sells quality fights…satisfaction guaranteed.
no need to waste your time on fancy co-main events just to see floyd doing supporting bout.
It is amazing what fight Fans will put up with,What with Bad judging and Ref’s.Bad matches and high prices that the average working fan can not afford ,
Fm jr is not a good fighter he only fights people that he is sure he can beat………..I will be Glad when he is gone from Boxing
there’s no way ortiz can beat floyd. he was already paid to take the dive to make floyd look good.
Only half brains believe Floyd will be beaten by Ortiz, even if he has been away for sixteen months. Floyd is going to prove yet again, that he is the best there ever can be.
ha ha ha ha ha : I CANT BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT.
let me tell you something that has to open your eyes. floyd will dominate some one without difence like ortiz. based on what ortiz should beat mayweather?he lost the most importan fight an he went to the floor twice on he’s wing vs berto(tomato can) ortiz wont past the 6 round vs mayweather.
Jajajaja this kid is so funny!!! to Ortiz beating Floyd is like hit the lottery, he may need a miracle to beat mayweather!!!! Same for pacquiao
ortiz will quit again， you all see it soon, of course mosley think he hurt mayweather , did you ask your self did really mayweather was hurt?i dont think so , and if he was , he just show the world that a hurted mayweather can take out shane mosley in that way , ortiz will have to dig deep on the barrel becouse he wont want to get up after he will be flored.mayweather w by 5 or 6 rounds.
This will be a good fight unless Ortiz Lays down…….for the pay day.Barring that Ortiz will hit FNjr ,and perhaps KO him ,and isn’t that what most fans who watch FMjr fight Want
Thanks,
I have my favorites but facts are facts and it is easy to get on a site like this and say that one fighter would kill another fighter based on what we would like to see from our favorite, but when the final bell tolls the only thing left are excuses..
The Kid hasn’t got a prayer
Ortiz has a punchers chance, and moseley showed mayweather can be hurt, but its if he can get near enough to land!
This fight will be interesting for about 5 rounds. Remember I told you so! Floyd Mayweather will eat Ortiz up like Miss America PU55Y!
Victor Ortiz is going to get hurt!
i cant wait for this its going to be explosive
Mayweather is sooo much better than Ortiz, but Ortiz is much stronger than any of Mayweather’s “recent” opposition. I’m looking forward to the fight… I doubt it will be one-sided.
This looks to be an entertaining fight, if in fact they fight it out and Ortiz does not try to box with Floyd. Floyd should win this fight as long as he doesn’t take this kids power lightly. Ortiz can pull it out if he lands early. Just bullying Floyd is NOT the solution..he has to bully him and accurately. Ortiz has to land big shots not just throw them which is difficult yet not impossible to do against Floyd…we will see.
@hears the thing
Pac fans are buying mayweather tickets to chant manny. ok loser how much since does that make?
You ALL are jumping on the bandwagon! Floyd Mayweather will DESTROY THIS KID! mark MY words. Clinton from Sheffield, ingle boxing gym. gauranteed
ortiz must throw his gameplan out of the window and go on an all out attack from the 1st bell, he must risk everything while he is still fresh. Its a hard thing to do knowing that this will gas you out, but his only chance is to bully floyd like tyson used to do and go hell for leather in the 1st as his only chance will be from a KO and the longer the fight goes he less chance he has
What people don’t understand is that Floyd is the ultimate professional. Victor can amp himself up before the fight. But Floyd the technician will dismantle him.
I agree. the outcome og this fight will depend in big part on Ortiz’ state of mind. Looking forward to this one
If Ortiz shows the fire he had in the Berto fight, Floydie will have his hands full. If a lethargic tentative Ortiz shows up, we will get another boring Floydie decision fight.
I just wish Ortiz backs up his words and not follow the script laid down for his big payday. Aren’t they both being handled by Golden Boy Promotions?
It is allowed to dream. Dream on!
Boxing wizard will always beat the defenseless swarmer.. hence Ortiz and pacquaio… trust me..
Let’s hope Ortiz is wrong just to keep the false hope of Mayweather and Pacquiao alive.
Ortiz is gonna be the new mayorga. Hey I wish him the best in that perspective …Jason Kim, u seem not to know what ur talking about… don’t u mean junior welterweight… what mayweather is gonna do with Ortiz is a perfect example of wat he’s gonna do to pac…
