What do you expect from a heavier Ortiz on Saturday?

He's only 24 years old moving up in weight 6 pounds heavier after campaigning at JWW for the past 7 years. I think that this is indicating that Ortiz is getting closer to his physical prime. I expect for his foot speed to be faster since he doesn't have to kill himself on the bike prior to fight night to lose 15 pounds, and rehydrating 10-12 pounds heavier on fight night. I expect for Ortiz to be able to take heavier shots and deliver slightly heavier shots of his own. What I also expect is for his hand speed to remain the same, but I can also see him throwing more volume punches being at a more suitable weight class. Roach has recommended for Ortiz to move up as well after watching him get beat by Maidana. What do you expect?

[Hi-Dro]

I expect him to be a little more powerful.

Will he quit again? I don't know

[Young Money]

His body will grow bigger, his heart will stay the same.

i'm expecting a good performance, by who? i don't know
i'm HOPING for a war though...if ortiz loses, i hope he doesn't give up boxing and try pushing his rap career....hopefully both put on a great performance and become top opposition at 147. hoping for a great fight though, may the best man win...

and i noticed you're a loyal ortiz fan...have you listened to his song 'catwalk'?

Lol yeah I heard catwalk I dunno what he was thinkin

A heavier fall on his ass, TBH.

I actually strongly favor Ortiz in exchanges against Berto which I believe will happen if it goes past 4 rounds. However I think Ortiz' timing and head movement will allow Ortiz to adapt to the speed early on, and when Berto's mistakes are capitalized he will go down by some bombs that put Maidana down 3 times with more volume and hunger.

[AL-MUQAWAMA]

Ortiz really needs to bring some intangibles into the ring.

If he could, I'd favor him.

[King Ju-Ju]

i think this is gonna be a great fight. alot of action and will def end by ko. im going for ortiz.

Ortiz is singing about Cat Walks, but he'll be looking to make Berto do the Chicken Dance on Saturday night.
