My analysis of PBF-Ortiz

Paulie Malignaggi could look like Julio Cesar Chavez, if his opponent wants no more of the fight.

Judah was coming off a loss to Baldomir, and has folded down the stretch in the majority of his big fights.

These facts cannot be overlooked.

 

bro the point is that Baldomir fought the way he always does, Cotto fought the way he always does, and Clottey fought the way he always does.

Floyd had to fight a different way from what he always does in order to beat Zab, and he did.

If Paulie has an opponent that he can't beat by potshotting, you think he has what it takes to start putting pressure on his opponent?

 

Ortez quits. Gets paid.

 

I agree with Pimp's analysis.

I've got Floyd late TKO when Ortiz gets tired of getting hit with shots he doesn't see.

 

Not competitive. Dontbuy it.

 

Funny people talk about Judah having no heart, that might be true, but there are some serious questions about Ortiz's will as well...He's also about on par with Judah in the mental department...

 

I don't see how an opponent making it so easy for you that you can fight in a way you're not accustomed to and yet still dominate is worthy of great praise. Shane Mosley's flat-out running backwards meant Pacquiao had to chase him in straight lines just to make a fight and ensure the crowd didn't boo the place down, and Manny won easily fighting in a way he doesn't usually, he usually uses far better footwork, angles, and in-and-out movement, but because his opponent was not interested in engaging him, he couldn't do so. Does this mean Manny's win is worth more than a win where he fought in his usual style? Nope. Mosley was so bad that he made it easy for Pac to dominate him fighting in a different way to his usual. Likewise, Judah was so pathetic in the latter half of the fight with Mayweather, that Floyd could do whatever the **** he liked in there, the same loss of desire and effectiveness which we have seen from Judah numerous times.

Sorry, whichever way I look at this, I don't see Mayweather emerging with any more credit than Baldomir did when Baldo beat him months earlier. Not one of Floyd's best wins in my eyes.

 

Floyd should take this fairly handily.

He's much more skilled, especially defensively.

9-3 or 10-2 would seem reasonable.





However, As an old Mosley showed, Floyd can be hit. And if Ortiz manages to catch him like Shane did, it could get interesting. That would set up a possible upset. It would show us what Floyd can do under pressure.

Prediction probabilities:


Floyd by stoppage 20 %

Floyd by wide decision: 60 %

Floyd by controversial decision 5%

Victor by controversial decision 5%

Victor by stoppage: 10 %

 

9-3 sounds like the toughest fight of Floyd's career since DLH. Much tougher than Marquez and Mosley, which is what many here are saying.

 

Ortiz to win convincingly if its fair.

mayweather to win if cortez does what he is paid to do.

 

you're brain dead

 

lol you know its gonna happen on saturday...cortez will be involved more so than what a normal ref should do

 

just a realist unlike you and your fellow floyd lovers.
