By Isaac Brodie: With pay per view giants Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao both coming to rest within its ranks the welterweight division has in recent years become the most exciting and most publicized in the sport. And at the high point of his career vicious Victor Ortiz was rated amongst its best. Yet as much excitement and potential as has been seen in this fighter, it has all been periodically tainted by disappointment.
On paper Victor seems to have everything, good speed, great power, decent coordination and footwork. However, all of these gifts have never been seen at their full potential because of a lack of discipline. All fans of the sport are familiar with the Mayweather fight and the manor in which it was ended. Victor was by no means winning the fight prior to its implosion, but he was fighting competitively.
By Sevak Sarkisian: Former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-4-2-22ko’s) will be making his long awaited return to the ring on January 30th at the Barclays center in Brooklyn New York. He will take on fellow former welterweight titlist Luis Collazo (34-5 17ko’s). The fight will be aired live on Fox sports and is an important fight for both fighters. 
By Dan Ambrose: Former WBC 147 lb. champion Victor Ortiz (29-4-2, 22 KO’s) has an important fight coming up next month on January 30th against Luis Collazo (34-5, 17 KO’s) at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York, USA. This is a tune-up bout for Ortiz scheduled for 10 rounds and not 12. Like his last fight a year and a half ago against Josesito Lopez, Ortiz is expected to win this one against Collazo. 
By Dan Ambrose: Former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-4-2, 22 KO’s) is hoping to fight himself into a rematch against Floyd Mayweather Jr. next September if the 26-year-old Ortiz can beat his next scheduled opponent Luis Collazo (34-5, 17 KO’s) on January 30th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. 
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions has pulled Victor Ortiz (29-4-2, 22 KO’s) from the December 14th Showtime card and moved him to January 30th against former WBA welterweight champion Luis Collazo (34-5, 17 KO’s) at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York, USA. Ortiz-Collazo will be the headliner bout. There still isn’t an undercard yet, but Golden Boy will eventually get to that over time. 
By Dan Ambrose: Former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-4-2, 22 KO’s) hasn’t fought since he was stopped in the 9th round by Josesito Lopez last year in June. Ortiz looked terrible in getting beaten by a former light welterweight in a fight where Ortiz quit after the 9th round due to a fractured jaw. Ortiz’s jaw is now totally healed, and he’s scheduled to fight against an opponent still to be determined next month on December 14th at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. 
By Dan Ambrose: Former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-4-2, 22 KO’s) is in need of a new opponent for his December 14th fight on the undercard of the Adrien Broner vs. Marcos Maidana card at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Ortiz’s previously scheduled opponent Alfonso Gomez suffered a hand injury after tripping and falling down while carrying his daughter, according to ESPN. Ortiz will remain on the card, but Golden Boy Promotions will have to find a replacement in the next couple of weeks. 
By Eric Thomas: Former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-4-2, 22 KO’s) will face Alfonso Gomez (22-5-2, 11 KO’s) on the December 14th Showtime at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ortiz was supposed to have been fighting IBF junior middleweight champion Carlos Molina, but the International Boxing Federation refused to sanction the fight because Ortiz wasn’t ranked in the top 15 at 154, was coming off of two knockout losses, and hadn’t fought in a year and a half. 
By AJ Betancourt: I submitted an article last week talking about the December 14th fight between WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner and Marcos Maidana card and how Victor Ortiz was getting an immediate title shot on the undercard with newly crowned IBF junior middleweight champ Carlos Molina. I thought it was fishy that Ortiz was getting a title shot after a long layoff.
