Mayweather vs Ortiz Live Stream - Seriously? Did we hear it right? What's the real deal for the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight? We thought all along that it would also somehow serve as a tune up for Mayweather to face Pacquiao, considering that Ortiz is also a southpaw like Manny Pacquiao. Actually, when it was announced that Mayweather Jr. will fight Ortiz, who is a left hander, almost every body who knows his boxing thinks as one that the fight will also be a sort of a tune up for Mayweather since at long last, he is already ready and willinmg to fight Pacquiao after Ortiz. Even Freddie Roach, trainer of Pacquiao, also thought of the same thing.
This uniform thinking about the matter that all of us has been waiting to happen between Mayweather and Pacquiao when Mayweather decided to fight Ortiz, was sorely negated with this latest news report from the Golden Boy Promotions, when their executive Richard Schaefer officially belied reports that Floyd Mayweather Jr., is using Victor Ortiz as a tune-up match for Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao. In an interview with Boxingscene.com, Shaefer said, " If you want to prepare for Manny Pacquiao, you would not fight against Victor Ortiz." Shaefer further added that, "It would be a bad decision to choose someone so difficult, so physical, so strong, and so young as Victor, in order to prepare for a fight with Pacquiao."
Relating to this matter, a lot of boxing fans who are hoping that the dream match up between Mayweather and Pacquiao for 2012 is going to happen were all saddened to hear the news. Tio Kaloy, a good friend and also a boxing enthusiast, has an entirely different analysis that is going to happen in 2012. He foresee that Mayweather will not fight Pacquiao for 2 reasons. Reason 1, Mayweather will suffer an agonizing defeat in the hands of Ortiz, making him either retire from boxing or never anymore fight with a southpaw like Ortiz and Pacquiao.
Reason 2, Mayweather escapes from the punishing southpaw punches of Ortiz and win because Ortiz lacks the speed that Pacquiao has and decides not to bother fighting Pacquiao. My good friend Tio Kaloy would add that for Reason 1, if indeed his prediction that Ortiz wins over Mayweather, the fight that would happen in 2012 might be between Manny Pacquiao and Victor Ortiz. Wow! What an exciting scenario this would be, and would surely be more exciting than the now acknowledged fight of the year between Ortiz and Berto .according to Tio Kaloy. In fact he adds, if the fight between Pacquiao and Ortiz will happen, there is a good chance that it might even be considered as the fight of the decade.
