Later that very same spherical, Mayweather made Ortiz pay by “sucker-punching” the daylights out of him.
Ortiz might imagine it unfair that he’s outlined by that combat, nevertheless it’s solely attainable that is certainly the case. Now, so a few years after that YouTube hit of a combat, or at the least its surprising ending proved a success, with it getting many hundreds of thousands of repeat viewings through YT, Ortiz is again. The previous WBC welterweight champ will combat on Mayweather’s undercard.
