Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer has revealed that the upcoming WBC welterweight contest between Floyd Mayweather and champion Victor Ortiz will be the most ‘heavily promoted’ bout in the history of boxing. Mayweather and Ortiz meet on September 17. This is also dubbed as a comeback fight for Mayweather who has been missing inside the ring for more than 16 months. His last fight was up against Shane Mosley way back in May 2010 where he won the WBA Super Welterweight World title via unanimous decision. The still-undefeated boxer has a record of 41 wins with 25 of them by knockouts. He holds nine world titles in five different weight divisions. He was previously considered as the second pound for pound boxer in the world but his name soon slipped down after having been inactive in the boxing world for more than a year, where Manny Pacquiao currently holds the top spot, much to his chagrin. Ortiz will need to find a way to land one of his big punches, potentially hoping that Mayweather is a bit rusty or his reflexes are a bit slower with age and time. Mayweather will look to counter punch and take advantage of ample opportunities to hit the aggressive, less experienced and less talented fighter. Well, Mayweather vs Ortiz is really an interesting match and I guess every Pacquiao fan will want to see this fight. So, better Watch Mayweather vs Ortiz this September 27 to see who among them will take home the WBC World Welterweight title.
