    Victor Ortiz is also fighting on the Mayweather exhibition

    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 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

            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.

              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

                  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

                    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.
