how do you expect floyd to fight ortiz?....is he..

[puga]

gonna press the fight or is he gonna box him?....vote please..

[Rip Chudd]

Same way he fought Mosley. If Floyd didn't have a record of being more aggressive against southpaws then i'd say he'd box Ortiz from the outside.

I think hes gonna do a mix of both but I voted to press the fight because I believe he will do that more often.

Floyd tends to fight southpaws behind a high guard and walks to them instead of using too much of the shoulder roll defense because their stance neutralizes his shoulder roll defense because the angles change. He tends to square up a bit more and keeps a high guard to hit them with that straight right hand and he attacks their body more than he does against orthodox fighters.

I think that he feels that Ortiz although very very strong and extremely heavy handed is a bit weak in the psychological department and Floyd will most likely try to exploit that by walking to him and taking the fight to him. He usually fights southpaws like that but he better be careful because Ortiz is a right handed southpaw so his power hand is his forward hand and Floyd has been hurt by right hooks from southpaw stances, look at the Corley fight.

What do you think?

[SilverSun]

Hes going to run and potshot all night

He'll press Ortiz,Ortiz can not fight off his back foot to save his life..He also does not know how to get out the way of right hands..He's gonna be all rip up getting clock by overhand rights and getting pushed around...Ortiz is gonna get ....

[puga]

im really not sure,....given the history againts soutpaws he might really press him but none of them southpaws were stronger,bigger, more powerful punchers than ortiz so i think he'll box him.....

keep voting people!

yeah but why would ortiz back pedal when it's going to decrease his chances of a victory trying to box floyd?.. berto caught him solid puches and he did'nt back pedal and i dont belive floyd is a bigger puncher than berto....

not sayin youre wrong btw....

[bojangles1987]

I expect him to stand in the middle of the ring, make Ortiz pay every time he charges in, and by the 4th round or so will have Ortiz backing up and demoralized.

He's not going to go all out Pacquiao style, he's still going to focus on defense and counter punch. But he won't be running, he will stand in front of Ortiz and embarrass him. I expect more running from Ortiz than Mayweather.
