Mayweather vs. Ortiz: Money May Will Win with Bag of His Same Old Tricks

We are beside ourselves with the possibility. For 41 bouts, we have seen Floyd Mayweather best his opponent. Despite all the talent that Victor Ortiz has on his side, Floyd Mayweather will take home the title, beating Ortiz as he has done other boxers. 

Saturday couldn't get here any sooner. We waited patiently, watching episodes of HBO's 24/7 like they were reruns of a Charlie Brown Christmas during the holidays. 

We watched, and waited, pleading for this day to arrive. Now it has, the boxing world's form of Christmas has arrived. 

This fight has polarized a nation that wants nothing more than for Mayweather to meet his equal in the ring. Friday's weigh-in only furthered the emotional tie we have for Floyd Mayweather. 

Now we sit, and wait, talking to our buddies about how Ortiz has what it takes to sit Mayweather on his loud-mouth keester. 

In reality, he doesn't. As powerful as Ortiz is in the ring, he lacks the one thing that Mayweather is best at. Money May may talk a big game, but he is as technical as you can get. 

There is nothing fancy or over-embellished about his style. Mayweather is a sound boxer that uses patience like a weapon. Ortiz will come out with an unrelenting salvo, hoping to get Mayweather on his heels.

Money May will take it, using one of the best defenses around to tire Ortiz. He will exchange only when it is beneficial to him. In fact, young boxers should take note on how beautifully Mayweather counters every one of Ortiz's punches.

The fact will remain, round after round, you simply can't penetrate Mayweather's defense. He wears you down in the ring and on the cards.

Mayweather may be the older fighter, but he is the more sound and technical one. That more than anything will be the difference, and why we are about to see Money May's 42nd win.
