I haven’t seen it mentioned but Victor Ortiz is also fighting a 8 round exhibition in Mexico on the Mayweather card
I always liked the way Victor fought, he was in some great fights, I wonder if he will actually try to get in shape for his exhibition or if he will just get off of the sofa and fight like Mayweather does now
I didn't think this event was actually going to happen. I thought it would get cancelled. I guess Floyd vs Gotti 2 will actually happen in Mexico.
I wonder how long Floyd will keep doing these...
Yep it’s happening for sure, I bought my 2 for 1 tickets in the 5th section from ringside for the interesting price of 6,691 pesos, which is essentially 6-6-6
But I’m sure that was just a coincidence, lol
So each ticket was about 174 dollars

Not saying he could had been great, but Victor Ortiz had the skills and athletic ability to have beaten the likes of Marcos Maidana and Josesito Lopez if he didn't give up quite quickly.
I always liked Ortiz’s style, I am partial to fighters who use the high guard
I think he had Zab Judah syndrome, a gifted fighter who was so use to running over his opponents when they were brought to that dark place in the ring they weren’t use to fighting form the bottom and found a way out of the fight
But hey everyone is human
I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t end up happening, but he’s still listed on boxrec for the event on the 31st, and there’s a flyer of it on his Instagram that was posted August 7th.
So he should at least be in decent shape instead of off the couch since he was training for an actual fight / is possibly still fighting.
Side note, the Alan Picasso - Azat Hovhannisyan fight should be a heck of a scrap on the card Mayweather-Gotti card.
Hope you have a good time:boxing:
Thank you my friend, yes I am looking forward to Saturday night, and yeah the Picasso fight is the only real fight on the card, Curmel is going to steamroll his opponent so that won’t be competitive at all

Ortiz has a pro fight schedule a week after?
Well damn that good, at least he will be in shape, I’m down to watch high level sparring even if it’s light sparring
I just don’t like boxers getting in the ring out of shape to perform for the paying crowd

Yeah, I noticed that. I expect it to be an extremely light sparring match, cause he’s having an actual pro bout in his hometown the following week.

I know he’s on the exhibition, but I really don’t think it does anything to convince anybody about whether they buy the fight or not. He was an exciting fighter BACK THEN for sure.
I doubt he comes into any meaningful shape, though. Have you seen him lately? He’s on CAMEO with a couple of kids and a dad bod.
No I haven’t seen him since his last fight, yeah that figures he won’t be in any kind of shape either
A quick cash grab and back to the sofa for Ortiz I guess
I hope the dude he is fighting tries to take him out so at least there will be some action
But I won’t lie I’m getting kind of excited for Saturday night
Im a boxing geek
