Floyd Mayweather KO's Victor Ortiz

Floyd Mayweather Jr. outclassed WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz in their Sept. 17 encounter, finishing the 24 year old boxer in the fourth round. Mayweather out-classed Ortiz in the first three rounds, using his precise counter-punches to overwhelm the WBC welterweight champion.

Ortiz made a few decent adjustments in the third round, trapping Mayweather against the ropes and smothering the pound-for-pound best boxer in the world. In the heat of the moment, Ortiz lost his composure, lunging at the cornered Mayweather with a clearly intentional head-butt. After Ortiz’ head-butt, class obviously went out the window, and Mayweather responded in kind.

While Ortiz tried to apologize for the head-butt, Mayweather immediately went after the WBC welterweight champion, sending him to the ground with a sharp combination. Ortiz was unable to recover from the blows, becoming the 42nd man to fall to Mayweather.

Besides Manny Pacquiao, it's rather obvious there is no boxer alive that can challenge Mayweather at this point.
