You’ve got to love his joie de vivre.
Vicious Victor Ortiz is, by all accounts, treating his Saturday night fight against unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. like a hyper teenager enjoying the thrill rides at Magic Mountain or some other theme park.
And, why shouldn’t he, when he’s earning a fat $2.5 million buckaroos? I’m sure Ortiz has gotten his backside whipped for much less, back when he wasa latchkey, throwaway kid in Garden City, Kansas.
Abandoned by his birth mother and father, he wasn’t even a latchkey kid as he did not even have a latchkey.
His upbringing reads like a Dickens novel.
But, let’s face it, the fun part is about to end. I mean Ferris Bueller had his Day Off but that ended also.
Now comes the getting bumped and thumped part.
Try as I might, I haven’t been able to scare up even one boxing “guesspert” who forecasts that VVO will hand FMJ his first pro loss in this, Mayweather’s 42nd pro ring outing.
