Floyd Mayweather Jr made his re-entrance into boxing with a victory over Victor Ortiz in controversial circumstances at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

The fight started slowly, with each fighter landing under 20 punches in the first round. Ortiz came out throwing straight lefts while Floyd landed a right hook. Ortiz threw a flurry to the body of Floyd while the "Money" man had his back against the ropes.

 

Floyd landed a glancing left hook to the head of Ortiz in the second. Ortiz landed a left. Floyd caught Ortiz with a right hook to the head as the man from Oxnard came forward. Victor caught Floyd with a left moments later but the challenger managed to keep his man at a distance, landing a couple of rights to his head. Ortiz rushed Floyd to the ropes and attempted to land something meaningful but was unsuccessful.

 

Another hook to the head from Floyd found it's way home to Ortiz's head as he came forward once again in the third. Ortiz tried to find a way in and Mayweather managed to land two rights during the process. In the final twenty seconds of the round, Ortiz landed a left hook lead and another left as the bell sounded.

weird ending. a lot of blame should head to joe cortez, i think, for not being forceful enough in the ring. it needs to be clearer whether they are to box or not. i thought it was a clean easy start and ortiz was just spacing out or something and BOOM goodnight. was floyd taking advantage? yes. was it illegal? i don't think so

I've always said Cortez is a shite ref.
