Mayweather V. Ortiz

Ortiz still has a lot to prove. He's had one big win, and he showed heart and desire he never showed before. A fire was in him that night. He gets props for the Berto fight. I was a critic of Ortiz but he shut me up with that performance and made me have a change of heart of what I think of him as a person and as a fighter.
Ortiz has had two title fights, going 1-1 (Maidana KO loss, Berto win).
Floyd has had about 18 title fights. So obviously Ortiz has to show us he belongs in there with the elite names.
With that said, I do expect floyd to dominate, even if ortiz has that same fire in him he had against berto. One reason I come to that conclusion is because Ortiz doesn't have much of a jab and imo if he wants to get inside on floyd he's going to need a strong jab to do that, or else he'll just be walking into counter shots all night. So unless he develops a great jab this training camp, I just don't see him being able to get inside and landing shots consistently and overpowering floyd.
I expect a late TKO for Floyd or perhaps a UD with Ortiz touching the canvas once or twice.
One point against Floyd, which could be a major one, is by the time of the fight he will have not fought in 16 months. That's a long layoff. Floyd is also 34 years old now he's not a young guy anymore. So if he comes in rusty at all, he may have a few shaky moments early (kinda like round 2 against Mosley) and you just never know with a guy like Ortiz who has power in both hands that could be disastrous. But Floyd is a pro and I expect any ring rust to be gone after the first couple rounds.

You gotta place your bets in the sports book and collect your money there too. If you know somebody out in vegas you can have them do it for you. That's what I do ever since one of my uncle's moved out there. Anytime I win I just have him deposit it in my account and break himself off a piece of the winnings.
