WBC welterweight champion ?Vicious? Victor Ortiz will have a lot of things coming to him this Saturday night, September 17th 2011.
It will be the 24-year old Ortiz first defense of his welterweight belt, which he nabbed after an impressive unanimous decision over then undefeated Andre Berto. It will be Ortiz?s first megafight, as far as the definition of a megafight is concerned. It will be the Mexican-American?s first fight against an elite opposition.
For Floyd Mayweather, it will be another day in the office, despite the last time he clocked in was more than a year ago when he scored a lopsided win over the aging Shane Mosley. But Mayweather, as great as he still is, may be in for a tough night.
At 36 years old, the former pound-for-pound topper who held titles in five different weight classes, may no longer be in the same level as he was a year ago.
As you age, you lose your speed. Or so the adage goes.
