Former world champions, "Vicious" Victor Ortiz (31-5-2, 24 KO) and Andre Berto (30-4, 23 KO) will renew acquaintances on Saturday from the StubHub Center in Carson, California. The two men had one of the most thrilling fights the sport of boxing has seen in the last five years back in April 2011.

Ortiz won a knockdown-drag-out affair by unanimous decision. Both fighters hit the canvas twice in the fight. Fans can only hope the rematch is half as good as the original.

Ortiz Stops Leon

Continuing his comeback to the sport after losing by knockout against Luis Collazo in January 2014, Ortiz scored an eighth-round TKO win over Gilberto Sanchez Leon in December 2015. The latter came into the fight with 13 losses in his career.

It was Ortiz's second straight bout with an opponent with double-digit losses. Before that, he defeated Manuel Perez in December 2014.

The rematch with Berto is Ortiz's first fight against an opponent with some notoriety. Per ESPN.com's Brian Campbell, Ortiz said he "will end" Berto, and he also wants to rule both the 147- and 154-pound divisions.

It's nice to have dreams, but Ortiz had better focus on beating Berto before he gets too far ahead of himself.

Berto Outclassed by Mayweather

In September 2015, Berto got his shot at Floyd Mayweather Jr. Like the 48 fighters before him, Berto failed to put a stain on Mayweather's unblemished record. In an uneventful bout, Mayweather used superior quickness, footwork and spatial awareness to baffle Berto for 12 rounds en route to a unanimous-decision win.

On Saturday, Berto won't be facing an opponent who is arguably the greatest fighter of all time. However, he will be in the ring with a man who has already gotten the best of him once. Can he get revenge?

Prediction

Despite Berto (32) being three years older than Ortiz (29), the former will prove to have more left in the tank. Ortiz has earned a reputation as a quitter in his career.

He bowed out of a tough fight with Marcos Rene Maidana in June 2009 after sustaining some facial damage from cuts and swelling. In September 2011, Ortiz faced Mayweather and resorted to using headbutts after being frustrated. Mayweather would knock him out in the fourth round with a controversial retaliatory punch. 

In the next fight, Ortiz suffered a broken jaw against Josesito Lopez, and he quit in that one as well. Ortiz has also pursued a career outside of boxing in movies like Expendables 3 and Southpaw. He has also been a contestant on Dancing With the Stars.

Since Ortiz has only fought twice since January 2014, this is the perfect setup for a disappointing performance from the 29-year-old. Berto will win the rematch via seventh-round TKO.
