Shocker in store for boxing world?

By Mac Arnold

Yep, you're going to hear it here first.

I'll probably be the only one that says this, and just hours before the Victor Ortiz vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. welterweight title fight.

Mayweather Jr. will dominate the early rounds to mid rounds and get flashy but then fall victim to carelessness.

Ortiz is going to catch him, I say. And everybody he's fought supposedly has gone down at some point in the fight.

"Money Mouth" is going to taste the canvas. He'll go reeling around the ring after he gets up and the champ, that's right, the WBC welterweight champ will finish him off.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I just have a feeling that the time off for "Money Mouth" at 34 is going to cause some ring rust.

While watching an HBO show last night on the fight related to "24/7," Sugar Ray Leonard, none other, kind of hinted at this saying Ortiz "won't catch him clean, that's too hard to do on Floyd, but the temple ..." (Sugar then put his fist up to his temple.)

Anyway, I'm venturing a mile out on a limb, I know, but it's much more fun this way rather than to predict a "Money Mouth" victory on a 12-round decision, which is more likely to occur.

Enjoy the fight. Should be a good one.
