Mayweather - Ortiz 9/17/11
 
Anybody else watching?

Doubt Ortiz has the stuff to shut Big Mouth Floyd up, but I will be rooting for just that, regardless of the odds.

I will be watching, rooting for Money Mayweather, and hoping he fights Pacquiao after he beats Ortiz.

Are you expecting Ortiz to knock Mayweather's tampon loose or something? Mayweather wants no part of Pacquiao.

My dad manages a kid who beat Ortiz in the amateurs. Unfortunately Ortiz is the one doing sll the right things while my dads fighter doesnt stay in the gym. Should be a decent fight though. I want to see someone stop mayweather but i want it to be pacquaiao

I wouldn't care if it was Mother Teresa who shut Floyd up, as long as it's someone. :2

I love all the talking Mayweather does. What I love even more is that Mayweather is bringing in Robert Garcia (Ortiz's trainers estranged brother) and Brandon Rios (Ortiz's nemesis) to be his special guests for the fight. Trying to use mind games to get an edge :)

I saw that chit about Big Mouth bringing in Robert Garcia ( who also used to be Ortiz' trainer before Garcia's brother)...what a phuking douchebag. You need mind games to beat Ortiz? Then you suck. God I hate Mayweather.

The problem is, all he does is talk, and a whole lot of ducking. Hasn't fought a top flight opponent since 2002 (rematch with Castillo) and spent the better part of the past decade ducking Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito and Pacquiao.

Big Mouth's "legacy" will always be tarnished if he doesn't step up to the plate versus Manny P.

His 41-0 record really means nothing towards his career until he fights Pacquiao. To some degree he has dodged a lot of boxers. He should have fought De La Hoya and Mosley earlier in his career. But he fought Juan Manuel Márquez when he was ranked 2nd pound for pound, and dominated that fight. Hatton was not a cake walk.

Good points.:tu

I don't think Ortiz is ready, but I will be rooting for him. And he will be 2.5 Million dollars richer. I'd fight Pretty Boy for 2.5 Mil. ;)

Ortiz certainly could get lucky, but the smart money is on Mayweather.

We're heading out with some friends for dinner and fun - doubt we'll make it all the way to the strip but we'll be in close proximity. Vegas is hopping this weekend!

I still cannot wrap my head around what happened. That headbutt was a really bad cheapshot.

Considering I'm probably one of the only Mayweather fans here, I want to hear everyone else's reaction first.
