Victor Ortiz Mayweather Vs. Berto Is Embarrassing And Not Even A Fight

Ortiz, attending the New York City premiere of the new boxing movie “Southpaw,”  was caught by TMZ and asked about the bout.

“Y’know what, it’s embarrassing, bro. That’s not even a fight,” Ortiz said, adding that both fighters just need to retire.

Calling the fight — reportedly scheduled for Sept. 12 in Las Vegas — a disgrace to the sport of boxing, Ortiz added: “I have no respect for that.” 

He did repeat a previous suggestion to Mayweather (48-0): Drop Berto and give Ortiz, who fought and lost to Mayweather in 2011, a shot at redemption.

At that point, Ortiz decided that silence might be the best strategy. 

“If we keep going, I’ll say a lot of bad things.”
