The WBC World Welterweight fight will be taking place on Saturday week on the 17th of September at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. It promises to live up to every bit of pre-fight hype that the two boxers, Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz are generating for when they square off against each other. Ortiz will be defending the title after winning it in April this year. Both boxers are set to put up a very brave fight but in the end, the powerhouse pound for pound world champion, Floyd Mayweather might just have what it will take to overpower the physically superior Victor Ortiz to take the title in the 12 round fight scheduled to be broadcast on HBO’s pay per view.
Traditionally, both fighters are known for energetic and quick starts with a number of hard punches being thrown in the first round. If this is any indication of what can be expected on Saturday night, the crowds certainly won’t be disappointed as the fighters prepare to give it their all.
Most boxing enthusiasts and sports reporters expect the fight to last through the full twelve rounds and expect that the decision will come down to the four judges to decide on a winner. At present, Mayweather’s unbeaten record which now stands at 41 wins is on the line and a win here would lend more pressure on the boxer to take on possibly his most difficult fight – that of Pilipino Manny Pacquiao, who some have criticized him of avoiding although it is unclear what his reasons might be.
The fight is set to draw a viewership of over 1.5 million viewers to tune in to the broadcast on HBO’s pay per view – making it one of their biggest subscriber counts to date and an estimated 200,000 more viewers than the 34 year old Mayweather’s last fight against Shane Mosley that also took place at the MGM Grand Arena over 16 months ago. Mayweather Ortiz live stream is available world wide this Saturday!
