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 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.

why dont you mention pacquaio’s name in this article??? its a miracle. pac needs bad publicity. bad or good its still publicity keep it in mind chris
Chris williams says Mayweather wins, bad news for Mayweather
@elbourica
what test ? ou seemed to be still on your sleep. test is for dumb head like you and fmjr, toughness is for boxing not mayweather because he is scaaaaaared like you all you floydiots are scared of Pacquaio hiding behind the test excuses excuses bwahahahahah !
His purse will go to: 1) pacman. court case. 2) ex-wife: court case. 3) security guard: court case and 4) IRS, he has to pay. Whats left? Nothing, nada, zero.
Even if floydie wins, he will not fight pacman. He’ a coward. Ortiz by KO.
All the boxing politics aside. Floyd will win this fight agaist Ortiz. Manny and Floyd is what we all want to see. I sincerely hope it happens. God Bless!
Chris is sira ulo.
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
Little people, Fips, Tards, whatever you call yourselves these days. All of you be on here Sunday morning. I bet all I hear is crickets. And I hate crickets.
@Troy…THE MIDGET IS NEXT.
43-0
Floyd wont pick a fighter that he wont beat, the momment he pick Ortiz Floyd is 42-0-loss, it clearer than a bottled water he wont pick Pac, Pac will knock him out!!!
@Kemote
You are a closet F@gg0t right?
BREAKING NEWS!
Floyd has been arrested by LV police for defying court order! The fight is OFF. Stay tune.
Breaking news!!!!
Floyd Mayweather’s Life and health insurance got cancelled earlier this morning due to his upcoming fight against Ortiz.
Fight will be a war but I’m making my money when Ortiz knocks out Floyd 4-1 with my bookie kinda wish I bet online instead but cash is king
Rafael is 100 percent correct of course.
Chris your an a.s.s. Do you drink Mayweather?
i got a feeling that ortiz will pull a big upset , ortiz by ko around rounds 7 or 8 , and if this happens i will beat dan rafael prediction one more time.
Chris is a “possessed” all-about Floyd demented writer.
ortiz wins ko no more then 8 rounds…big upset
Oh mannnnn.. . This world wouldnt be complete without idiots…Floydiots make me laugh. =P
Oh I can handle it baby.
All this Pinoys there is s JMM Manny article go read and post comments there…

Kem0te is cross dresser H0M0…
These Pinoys think they can intimidate me….
Take the test like all the rest ….midget…
Just made it to Vegas- missed the weigh-in!
Where you at ( here the thing) Aka Kamote?
It would be more shocking for an upset here than the Berto fifgt./
@elboricua
Sorry about this … you don’t understand ENGLISH right?
how about sign language?
olo
still on the “take the test” bandwagon huh?
see what I’m sayin? LMAO
Take the test like all the rest ….midget…
Floyds on roids
Believe me, you would still see “take the test” comment from some Floydiots here.
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.
@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!
Big upset for Mayweather fans.
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).
Ortiz will win the early rounds with a knockdown and Floyd cant win back the points from his jabs.
Ortiz wins!!!
Ortiz will win … 8-1 odds … sure $$$$. Floyd Sr is betting against his son!
he knows something that you don’t …
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
@Dave, can u shoot me you email? I have to ask u something offline
It’s money time! I am going to knock Ortiz tfo! I guarantee it!
Mayweather has got to be the best boxer of his generation. No one can beat him. FACT!!!
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.
