It’s potential, if not possible, that when most followers hear the identify Victor Ortiz, they consider the fairly weird battle Ortiz had with famous person Floyd “Cash” Mayweather. It was again in September of 2011 when Ortiz took it upon himself to headbutt Mayweather within the fourth spherical of their title battle in Las Vegas. Later that very same spherical, Mayweather paid Ortiz again by “sucker-punching” the daylights out of him.
Ortiz might imagine it unfair that that battle defines him, however this can be true. Now, so a few years after that YouTube hit of a battle, or at the least its surprising ending, proved a success, with it getting hundreds of thousands of repeat viewings by way of YT, Ortiz is again. The previous WBC welterweight champ will battle on Mayweather’s undercard. As followers know, Mayweather will face John Gotti III in a return exhibition, the occasion to go down in Mexico, and 37-year-old Ortiz will go in with Rodrigo Damian Coria in chief help.
Ortiz is 33-7-3(25), and this might be his first battle in over two years. Coria is at the moment 13-5(2), and the previous WBO Latin champ has by no means been stopped. This one may show fascinating. We don’t know the way a lot Ortiz has left and the way severe he’s about his newest comeback, however Ortiz remains to be a fairly large identify, and followers will tune in to observe him battle.
Concerning the principle occasion and the ticket costs, a earlier article that appeared on ESB, written by yours, really erroneously made the declare that an ‘Imperial Ringside’ seat at Mayweather Vs. Gotti half two would set an individual again the jaw-dropping sum of $128,076. Quite a few different boxing websites additionally ran with the theme of hefty costs. Nevertheless, the costs listed had been/are Mexican peso ticket costs; due to this fact, whereas nonetheless on the costly aspect, tickets for the August twenty fourth battle card aren’t practically as ludicrously costly as was initially and erroneously regarded as the case ($100 equals $1,785.65 in Mexican pesos).
And with additional undercard bouts set to be introduced, it’s seemingly the August card will pull in fairly numerous followers. Mayweather, as we all know, has by no means beforehand boxed in Mexico. Sure, the Gotti affair is, like the primary battle, an exhibition bout. Nonetheless, Gotti III positive was fairly mad on the finish of his first assembly with Floyd, and the grandson of the notorious mob boss could also be in no temper to play by the exhibition guidelines when he will get a second go at Mayweather.
