Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (41-0, 25 KO) takes his perfect record into the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday night. Standing in the way of Floyd picking up his forty-second win is WBC world welterweight champion, Victor Ortiz. Both men appeared at the official weigh-ins attempting to hit the 147 pound mark. The two men meet in the main event on HBO pay-per-view.
Mayweather, the much more experienced man, hit the scales and weighed 146.5 pounds. Half a pound under the welterweight limit, Floyd looked solid and comfortable in the weight class he has fought in for several years.
While many are still clamoring for Floyd to face Manny Pacquiao, he needs to get by a stiff test in Ortiz first.
Mayweather Vs. Ortiz Weigh-In Results: Victor Ortiz At 147 Pounds
WBC world welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-2-2, 22 KO) will look to become the first ever man to defeat Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (41-0, 25 KO) on Saturday night. The two men meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada Saturday night on HBO pay-per-view. Ortiz is looking to finish the redemption story that started with quitting in the ring against Marcos Maidana. Ortiz turned his career around with a huge decision win over Andre Berto earlier this year.
Ortiz, weighing in as a welterweight for only the second time, hit the 147 welterweight limit exactly. Ortiz looked lean and ready for the fight and seemed in good spirits, not drawn out in any way.
He’ll get his chance to make history tomorrow evening.
