Contrary to rumors that have been floating around, Ortiz didn’t have a second surgery to repair his jaw. It’s been one but his jaw has definitely been slow in healing due to the multiple fractures that he suffered.

According to RingTV, the 25-year-old Ortiz will be appearing in a movie called AWOL 72. The filming hasn’t started but it’s expected to soon. It’s a military based movie and Ortiz is being given a major character despite having no previous acting experience in movies.

By Dan Ambrose: Former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-4-2, 22 KO’s) has reportedly approached Floyd Mayweather Sr. about having him take over training for him to help bring his career back, according to Examiner.com. Ortiz, still young at 25, has lost his last two fights to Josesito Lopez and Floyd Mayweather Jr. The addition of Mayweather Sr. as a trainer would be to help try and fix Ortiz’s leaky, some would say nonexistent, defense, which has caused him to take a lot of punishment in his recent fights.
