By Aaron Scully: Ahead of the second comeback fight of Floyd Mayweather Jr (41-0 25KO) takes on Victor Ortiz (29-2-2 22KO’s) We take a breath look into what could be one of the best match ups in boxing since Amir Khan defeated Marcos Rene Maidana.
We can take a look at each individual boxer and just sense this will be a great fight we all no exactly what to expect from Floyd Mayweather Jr with his slick boxing skills controlling his opponents every move as if he was a puppet master but Floyd dont need no strings instead he makes his opponents confused and takes their confidence away from them making them very cautious, this works very well against many top fighters as they are so used to being dominant they forget what it’s like to after fight out of their skin to win fights, but will this work with Victor Ortiz he makes a career out of fighting out of his skin its what’s won him the WBC Welterweight strap in his most recent fight against the also undefeated Andre Berto let’s take a look at why Victor Ortiz is a well suited fighter to take Floyd to the depths for a win.
Victor Ortiz is a great fighter to watch whoever he matches up against win or lose he puts on a magnificent show a true people champion, he takes his opponent to war and using his slick boxing skills paired with his natural aggression to do this. While in with his arsenal of attacks he using speed and power along with great movement, just by this Floyd is putting his undefeated record on the line.
As shown in Floyds Mayweather Jr’s previous bout against the 38 year old Shane Mosley, was able to shake Floyd Mayweather twice in which Floyd handled it really well, Due to Mayweather’s adjusting time he likes early in fight leaves him fairly vulnerable to this happening if in with big punchers.
Victor Ortiz as a perfect opportunity to expose that looking back to Ortiz vs. Berto, Victor Ortiz had Berto all over knocking him down 3 times in the first round using brawl tactics with his boxing skills together taking down Berto with fast power punches this makes the first three rounds for Mayweather a nightmare if not dealt with right because Ortiz is very good with the clinch himself making it difficult for Floyd to tie him up the way he did Mosley.
Not only has Victor Ortiz got the tools he as youth on his side and with Mayweather been out of action since June 2010 who knows what condition Mayweather is in, Manny Pacquiao as started aging in the ring as shown in his hard fought victory over Shane Mosley earlier this year it is hard to say if Floyd will be at his best or also slowing down and struggling to move around the ring.
All been said I can see this been a challenge for Mayweather but one he will be favourite to win and should he be at his best I don’t think anyone in this decade will be able to beat him with the skill set speed and movement he is one of the most talented boxers in history, but as far as give him a tough fight well I think this could be one hell of a tough one for Mayweather.
