Talk to most boxing fans, and they’ll tell you that Victor Ortiz’s days as WBC welterweight champion are numbered. You can narrow the day down to September 17, when he makes his first defense against Floyd Mayweather. Let Ortiz tell it, he’s training with ferocity and confidence that only comes with being a new champion. Will it be enough?
At first I was chasing after the belt. I was doing anything I could to achieve something that many boxers before me have. Now it’s about defending my belt. Knowing that my opponent’s want it as bad as I wanted it but still training as hard as possible in order to never give it up again.
After I lost to Maidana and everyone was questioning my heart I was pissed. I fought with a broken wrist against a good fighter and when I challenged him to a rematch and he refused I was still the one with no courage? I was the one with no balls? Well now I’m the one with the belt and I’m not giving it up to anybody.
