Ortiz vs. Berto II is a rematch of one of 2011’s best fights, and what’s sure to be one of the finalists for Fight of the Year in our year-end boxing awards. Since that fight, Berto regained a welterweight title strap, but he ditched it in order to put this rematch together. Of course, Ortiz battled Mayweather and was knocked out in controversial fashion in the 4th round.
