Video: Victor Ortiz Media Day Workout 8-30-11

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Wow..................People say he looks like a beast while shadow boxing?

You do know that he is in the ring by himself and that no one is trying to take his head off?

The only people intimidated by this training video and Ortiz's size are fans who never boxed in their life.

Fighters don't care how big other fighters look.
He is big............so what?
His skill level is still small.

Just tooked out money from my retirement plan and placed a bet on mayweather. Easy Money. This is what I PREDICTED a one sided beat down. Not much of a challenge. if anyone wanna bet 10m on floyd 5 to 1 odds

The outcome of this fight has way more to do with Floyd that it does Ortiz. If Floyd is still Floyd and the layoff hasn't effected him then he will beat Ortiz convincingly no matter what Ortiz brings to the table. If the layoff has effected Mayweather and he ages over night then Ortiz has a good shot to win.

Let's not get too carried away with Ortiz here people. We are still talking about a guy that got his ears boxed off by Lamont Peterson for the second half of their fight and got knocked down by Berto twice. This can be a very tough fight for Floyd but let's not act like Ortiz became some monster over night.

Ortiz is looking big and strong. I expect him to KO Floyd within 5-6 rounds.

Not trying to disrespect Ortiz because he seems like a good dude, but I didn't see anything special during that shadow boxing session. Then again we all know that the fighters don't show everything they have during the media workouts, maybe its a ruse for the Mayweather camp.

I like Ortiz a lot, but i'm not seeing anything apart from a great back story.

Footwork isn't great, and he doesn't look too sharp. Look at Pacquiao shadowboxing and you'll see why he's considered the biggest threat to Floyd. He's still got some time, but i'd hoped for better at this stage

Mayweathers got this

Yo' man why is he jabbing so high into the air??

Make you appreciate Pacman's shadow boxing routine for the cameras.

me and my friends copy righted the name the Sky Jab for Vic

[MRMREC]

That it one thing, he has activated beast mode for this fight, he is looking more like a bruiser than a prize fighter. Hope he can put it all together for a great fight.

"ZOMG! Watch him shadow box! What a BEAST! Ortiz KO2!!!!!111!!1"

LOL at the overreacting going on here.

It looks a lot different when Mayweather isn't there hitting him back.

There is one HUGE similarity between watching Ortiz shadow box, and when we watch him fight Mayweather......

.........in both, he'll be hitting air.
