Vicious Victor Ortiz will finally take on the biggest challenge of his life in just a few days from now. The 24-year old boxer will be facing up against boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Their much-awaited and highly buzzed about duel will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 17. Their match- up is said to be David vs Goliath, as Mayweather is a force to be reckoned with in the world of boxing, while Ortiz is considered as one of the up and coming fighters. But the young boxer vows to end the career of Mayweather with a knockdown as he is out to become the first boxer to defeat the former pound for pound king of the world.
Ortiz will be defending his title, WBC Welterweight belt, for the first time he defeated Andre Berto just a few months ago. The previously undefeated Berto was favoured to win over Ortiz but the underdog still managed to come out on top and won the game via unanimous decision. Their explosive clash is now regarded as Fight of the Year Contender. And from then on, Ortiz has been considered as the number two welterweight boxer in the world, just behind Manny Pacman Pacquiao. He has also gained some courage and self-esteem after facing several setbacks on his career.
And now, Berto has come out and gave his thoughts about the upcoming bout of Ortiz and Mayweather. Although he admits that he has developed some respect for his former opponent, he still thinks that Mayweather will still emerge as the winner. In a recent radio interview with the 28-year old boxer, Berto commented, Mayweather should be able to outbox him. Hell be smart.

But he added that it will a bit tough, though, for Mayweather to take down Ortiz. He continued, Hes a very tough kid. Hes going to come strong. Hes going to come aggressive. But well have to see how he handles the big stage. Berto has just come from a victorious win over Dejan Zavec, taking home the IBF welterweight title via technical knockout. He expects to be fighting the winner of the clash between Mayweather and Ortiz, unless Ortiz pulls another upset, to which he owes a rematch against Mayweather.
