Rafael: Mayweather beats Ortiz, and picks up win No.42

By Chris Williams: Photo credit: Sumio Yamada – Dan Rafael is ESPN sees Floyd Mayweather Jr. (41-0, 25 KO’s) out-boxing WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-2-2, 22 KO’s) on Saturday night to pick up Ortiz’s World Boxing Council strap, not that Mayweather really wants the belt. Mayweather is more concerned with beating top fighters than in picking up worthless trinkets that require sanctioning fees to keep.

Rafael feels that Mayweather has the better inside fighting ability compared to Ortiz and will give him a lot of problems when Ortiz tries to engage. He also feels that Mayweather will be able to get away from Ortiz’s bum rushes fairly easy, saying “Mayweather is so poised in the ring that even if Ortiz rushes him early, which I expect, he’ll simply dart away. Ultimately, Mayweather will use Ortiz’s aggressiveness against him because he’s also a supreme counterpuncher.”

Rafael is 100 percent correct of course. Ortiz will no doubt rush Mayweather, but when he does, Mayweather will move and nail him with shots as he’s coming in. And on the inside, Ortiz is going to be at Mayweather’s mercy all night long with his fast accurate shots coming often. I suspect that Ortiz will forget all about fighting on the inside after the first couple of rounds and will focus entirely on just throwing jabs from the outside like he was told to do by Oscar De La Hoya. You’re not going to beat a quality fighter like Mayweather by jabbing him. It takes a lot more than that simple Plan B to beat him when Plan A quickly goes down the tubes in the first two rounds.

Mayweather will likely use a lot of lateral movement, Rafael points out to stay out of the way of Ortiz’s big shots. And with referee Joe Cortez working the fight, it gives Mayweather one more important advantage. Cortez is the same referee that worked the Amir Khan vs. Marcos Maidana and Ricky Hatton vs. Mayweather fight. In both of those fights, Cortez seemed to get in the way of Maidana and Hatton while they were attempting to work on the inside.

  • WTF FLoydiots says:

    Floydie keeps on mentioning that Ortiz will be getting $2 million plus for this fight. But he has not mentioned how much he is getting for this fight. He used to brag that he was getting $40 million on his fight with Mosley

    Is Floydie getting less money for this fight than with his fight with Shame Mosley???

    OR is he keeping his fight purse secret due to legal reasons (ongoing court case with J Harris)

    WTF

    @ Elbourica

    Pacquiao will take the TEST Dum Dum, all they need is for Maynever to get his Black Butt to the negociating table. But ofcourse there will be another excuse.
    Floyd says at a press conference ” Pacquiao your next ”
    Floyd Later says ” I never said that, stop putting words in my mouth ” seems to me he had 50 Cents D1ck in his ears at the time lol

  • Fan says:

    @elboricua

    Sorry about this … you don’t understand ENGLISH right?

    how about sign language?

    olo

    still on the “take the test” bandwagon huh?

  • kAMOTE says:

    see what I’m sayin? LMAO

  • elboricua says:

    Take the test like all the rest ….midget…

  • kAMOTE says:

    Floyds on roids

    Believe me, you would still see “take the test” comment from some Floydiots here.

  • kAMOTE says:

    I don’t think that there would an after fight interview with Max Kllerman for Mayweather because he would be on a stretcher after a 7th rd humiliating KO. His dad would just leave like what he did to Hatton.

  • Floyd's On Roids says:

    @BoxingDawg

    I read the same article on mlive.

    There’s absolutely no excuses for Floyd now! Manny Pacquiao has accepted to be tested by the USADA! Floyd finally got his stupid blood test demand!

  • juan matsugi says:

    Big upset for Mayweather fans.

  • BoxingDawg says:

    Floyd if you win … Manny is ready and accepted the test.

    Arum … “will accede to these tests” with no timeline limits, and allow the United States Anti-Doping Agency to conduct them, as long as results are shared immediately with the regulatory authority overseeing the fight (Nevada).

  • BoxingDawg says:

    Ortiz will win the early rounds with a knockdown and Floyd cant win back the points from his jabs.

    Ortiz wins!!!

  • Fan says:

    Ortiz will win … 8-1 odds … sure $$$$. Floyd Sr is betting against his son!

    he knows something that you don’t …

  • focker says:

    Floyd have new excuse. Pacquiao has to get his business in order first before fighting him. If you analyze all Floyd previous comments, You will notice that Floyd have no intention of fighting Pacquiao. Arum said, no problem with RBT and the USADA as long as WADA will supervise the testing and submit the result to NSAC right away. That is fair!
    By the way, I’m rooting for Floyd over Ortiz, I like to save the zero to Pacquiao. It’s more exciting

  • Da UnKnown Comic says:

    @Dave, can u shoot me you email? I have to ask u something offline

  • I only fight all natural fighters says:

    It’s money time! I am going to knock Ortiz tfo! I guarantee it!

  • dave says:

    Mayweather has got to be the best boxer of his generation. No one can beat him. FACT!!!

  • Da UnKnown Comic says:

    Steward during rounds 1-4: This fight is going exaaaactly the way I thought it would. Steward in rounds 5-9 when momentum shifts: This is exaaaactly how I thought this fight would play out. I was just telling this guy before the fight… Whatever Steward. BTW for those who can’t afford, stream it at KOISports.com But make sure you choose the UK version for the fight.
