FLOYD MAYWEATHER RETURNS TO FACE VICTOR ORTIZ ON SEPTEMBER 17
The Biggest, The Brightest and The Best To Meet September 17
In Mexican Independence Day Weekend Match-Up
Las Vegas, NV - The wait is over and once again Floyd “Money” Mayweather delivers as the undefeated six-time world champion announced today via his Twitter account @floydmayweather that he will return to the ring on Saturday, September 17, to face the hard-hitting and explosive current WBC Welterweight World Champion “Vicious” Victor Ortiz in what is now the biggest international boxing event of 2011.
The announcement of the fight, which will take place on Mexican Independence Day weekend, widely considered boxing’s biggest weekend, sends shock waves across the sports pages as there is no denying that the younger, stronger and current champion Ortiz poses an extremely credible threat to Mayweather, who returns to the ring after a 16-month hiatus. It is a highly competitive and very dangerous match-up that will give fans a chance to see the sport’s biggest star against the sport’s newest star in one ring on one very special night of boxing action.
Who can push a fool who never made headways to run in a race he is so proud to have conquered?
Floyd Mayweather Jr. will never run out of excuses to avoid a humiliating defeat at the hands of a “poor boy” from a poor but fighting country. Delivering him the brutal beating of his life by a man he taunted and falsely accused of many things.
That’s why Floyd will not accept any offer outside of what is impossible to fight a revengeful Manny Pacquiao. Or else the fight would validate his sore points overwhelmingly enough to crush his pride to pieces and expose him further merely as a huge bluff and perfect dud as he knows perfectly well that the fight may invoke ominous
danger for him in countless ways. Read More… «PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER DANCE: FINALLY!»
