Honestly though I feel Floyd wins, I think the entire time since signing the fight, Floyd has tried to break this kid down mentally every opportunity he has gotten. But I think Floyd himself sees that it hasnt been working. The weigh in he tried to get under his skin lookin to make the kid back off and show fear when that didnt happen Floyd stepped outside of himself and grabbed his throat....... Floyd is doing what ever he can to get the mental advantage before the fight, my question is if your the best do you really need to do all of this and my question is what happens if it back fires
Floyd is just trying to sell the fight. Or at the very least Floyd is trying to get Ortiz fighting reckless early in the fight.
Floyd seemed unusually pissed off. He may have succeeded in slightly getting into Ortiz' head, but more noticeably, he appeared to have riled himself up in the process. Even when faced with opponents he's despised before - Oscar, Hatton, Mosley, etc - he's never felt the need to choke the other guy. But here, it appeared as though he didn't like the way Ortiz remained in his face giving **** back, and felt he needed to put his hands on him to control him. Of course, I'm reading too much into it, and it will have no impact on the result tomorrow. In fact, it'll probably motivate Floyd to put forth a proper ass-whooping. But still, I enjoyed watching him lose that face-off.
I dont think your reading too much into it, Ortiz did make Floyd step outside of himself, its up to Ortiz to finish it in the ring
Wish I had the same confidence as you. Nothing would satisfy me more than to see Floyd's face after being put on his back for 10, or being on the wrong end of a decision. That **** would be priceless.
110% agreed Zooka! Even though I didnt see the weight-in and I can say from the pics I feel the same way. Once you have seen one of PBF's weight-ins you have seen them all I will say this, PBF is a strong mental individual and the only way to get into is head is to get personal. Like I was telling a co-worker of mines today. If Victor wants to get into his head before or during the fight he needs to do some crazy **** a la Tapia (when he got on the ring and went up to his opponent and pushed him) remember that? Or if Victor sees that PBF is doing his usual **** (since he promised to stand and fight), around the 4th round Victor should stand in the middle of the ring and call PBF a ***** or maybe even the N word just to get him all riddle up, you know. That would be something nice to see for change..Imagine that
I have confidence that Ortiz will make a good accounting for himself but this is a tall order here it really is, if he drops Floyd I expect Floyd to get finished off..... *****s think that concept is crazy but hear me out, Floyd has a good chin he took monster shots from Shane that did rock him shots that would put any welter to the canvas He weathered that storm, so if you See Floyd drop its becusae he was hit with something he hasnt seen before and that means atleast in my eyes he is done..... Should that happen Mentally Floyds Ego will be crushed he will start to doubt himself and will go into a shell Vic will go for the kill I wouldnt say call him the N word but I will say Vic has been dealing with the mind games pretty well I think his youth is going to make for a great night of boxing...... Bad news is I cant watch it, my sons fighting tomorrow night to:bbb
