When boxing fans hear the name Victor Ortiz, the infamous fight with Floyd Mayweather often comes to mind. The incident where Ortiz headbutted Mayweather, only to be knocked out by a sucker punch, defined Ortiz’s career in the eyes of many. It’s unfortunate that one moment of poor judgment overshadowed Ortiz’s accomplishments in the ring.
Despite the notoriety of his past actions, Ortiz is making a comeback to the ring. After a two-year hiatus, the former WBC welterweight champion will step into the ring once again. This time, Ortiz will be facing Rodrigo Damian Coria on Mayweather’s undercard. The fight poses an opportunity for Ortiz to show the world that he is more than just a controversial figure.
Coria, with a record of 13-5, has never been stopped in a fight. This presents a challenge for Ortiz, who will need to prove that he still has what it takes to compete at a high level. The bout between Ortiz and Coria promises to be an intriguing matchup, with fans eager to see how Ortiz will fare after his time away from the sport.
In a previous article, there was confusion surrounding ticket prices for the upcoming fight card. Contrary to earlier reports, the ticket prices are in Mexican pesos, not in US dollars. While still expensive, the prices are not as exorbitant as initially believed. With additional undercard bouts yet to be announced, the August fight card is expected to draw a significant number of fans.
As Ortiz prepares for his comeback fight, he has the opportunity to rewrite the narrative of his career. By focusing on his skills in the ring rather than his past mistakes, Ortiz can work towards redemption. Regardless of the outcome of the fight, Ortiz’s return to boxing represents a chance for him to reclaim his place in the sport and move beyond the shadow of his past controversies.
