Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. (41-0 25KO) is set to fight the young, talented Victor Ortiz (29-2-2 22KO)on September 17th for the WBC Welterweight belt. Mayweather, the egocentric, often-criticized, controversial boxer has definitely set his eyes on accomplishing a goal; and that is to be once again considered as the pound for pound best. So who better to challenge than the young, powerful southpaw Victor Ortiz; whose fresh off an impressive victory over Berto to gain his first World Title. Looking to be the first to defeat Mayweather, Ortiz is as dangerous a fight as they come and would be no easy push-over for Mayweather, or so they say. Now that we've gotten the details out the way, the question you've all been waiting for: Who's ass is getting whopped? I must say, though this is an easy one to predict, don't sleep on Mr.Ortiz. Floyd has had trouble in the past fighting southpaws, ala Zab Judah and DeMarcus Corley to name a few, but none as consistent and relentless as Ortiz. However, Mayweather possesses the ability to adjust to any fighter in the ring, a skill possessed by few. His speed and agility combined with his power will eventually prove too much for Ortiz. This fight is nothing more than a tune-up for "Money May" to prepare for the possible mega-fight of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. This bout does promise to be an entertaining one, and one that will be highly anticipated. Sure we might see a couple hard straight jabs, some jaw-shattering uppercuts, and a few head-twisting hooks, but at the end of it all, Mayweather will be 42-0 and Ortiz will probably be needing a few stitches and face mask.
John, and I'm out.
