Mayweather vs Ortiz Live Stream - A lot of boxing fans are saying that Mayweather's match against Ortiz is simply his way of tuning up for the multi million dollar fight with Pacquiao. Many would seem to agree, but boxing pundits who have followed both fighters foresee something that can and might go in the way that favors Ortiz in the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight.
Their reasoning runs this way - Mayweather, being a defensive fighter, is a lot older than Ortiz. Also, Mayweather's last fight with an overly offensive minded fighter like Ortiz was way back in 2001 against Diego Corrales. Although Mayweather won the fight, he was only 24 at the time. A ten year youthful vigor difference is of course a negating thing to be worried about. Both Diego Corrales and Victor Ortiz are offensive fighters but Diego Corrales lacks the punching power of Ortiz..
When it comes to punching power, Ortiz is tops. To date, he is the only boxer in history to knock down all his ring opponent since he started his boxing profession. Ortiz' fight with the former WBC World Welterweight champion Berto, would show us that Ortiz not only packs a solid powerful punch, but has also the stamina of a champion when he subdued the undefeated Berto after both of them suffered two knockdowns in what is now billed as the fight of the year for 2011.
For Victor Ortiz, the current WBC World Welterweight champion, it would be a truly humbling thing for this young kid on the block, if he can win against Mayweather. Imagine fighting two undefeated world boxing champions in 2011 and winning them all? Wow! And if in case he wins over Mayweather, his most prized dream of facing Pacquiao, might happen in 2012. Wow!, to that, again.
For Victor Ortiz, who was orphaned at a tender age of 7 years old when their mother left them for another man and whose father became an alcoholic and likewise left them after 5 years, his early years of suffering from poverty and the responsibility of caring for his sister and two younger brothers has imbued in him the descipline for survival.
Early in life, he already knew he was a gifted boxer and he knew that boxing will change his and his sister and brothers lives for the better. For Victor, getting an education and sharpening his skills at boxing became his master plan to what he is now. Hearing Victor Ortiz story makes me think of Pacquiao.
