Sneak Peek of my latest blog post.
By Vince Bond Jr.
Welcome to the Floyd Mayweather School of cerebral warfare.
Mr. Ortiz, have a seat.
The debut of HBO’s Face-Off earlier this week for the Mayweather-Ortiz bout had a distinctly educational feel.
While Mayweather has bathed in the spotlight ever since he
debuted his braggadocios “Money” persona during the buildup to the Oscar De La Hoya fight, Ortiz has been a case-study in halted dreams and redemption after his TKO loss to Marcos Maidana in 2009 and a thrilling win over WBC Champion Andre Berto in April.
Other than a frustrated sermon Ortiz gave Max Kellerman for questioning his heart and a brief moment where he interrupted Mayweather — boldly telling him “he was born” for combat — “Vicious” deferred to his legendary foe.
Wise move.
Class was in session.
Read the rest here: Face Off.
