By Allan Fox: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is going to be playing it safe with former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-4-2, 22 KO’s) by putting him in with 41-year-old Shane Mosley (47-8-1, 39 KO’s) in the late summer rather than letting Ortiz fight Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, who is really itching for a fight with Ortiz.
You can’t blame Schaefer for wanting to take it easy with Ortiz. He’s lost his last two fights and is coming off of a 9th round stoppage loss to Josesito Lopez last year in June in a fight where Ortiz suffered a broken jaw and ended up quitting on his stool.
