Mayweather vs Ortiz Result: Mayweather wins vs Ortiz via TKO in 4th Round

Floyd Mayweather Jr remains undefeated when he won vs Victor Ortiz during Saturday night's WBC welterweight title fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada (Sunday morning, Manila time).

The "Mayweather vs Ortiz" bout was no ordinary fight (but not surprising) as 34-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr knocked out Victor Ortiz, who's 10 years younger, during the 4th round of the fight (4th Round TKO).

It was Mayweather's grand comeback on the ring after 16 months of rest (and just watching Manny Pacquiao's fights?)

Floyd Mayweather Jr now has 42 wins (26 are knockout wins) and 0 losses while Victor Ortiz's new record is 29 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws with 22 knockouts.

Watch a Youtube video of how Floyd Mayweather Jr knocked out Victor Ortiz in 4th Round:

It was an amazing knockout but many were not impressed with how Mayweather did it, especially that he did it immediately after he and Ortiz emerged from a break, and the latter wasn't ready yet to resume the fight.

Mayweather reportedly got booed by the audience after he knocked out Ortiz.

During the post-fight interview, Mayweather also had an argument with the 80-year-old commentator Larry Merchant. Watch!

2010 ESPYs: LeBron James gets booed | Pacquiao loses to Mayweather Jr

NBA star LeBron James wasn't arround at the 2010 ESPY Awards (the ESPYs) held in Los Angeles, but he got booed by the audience. How did
it happen?

The audience booed LeBron James while his name was being mentioned and he was shown in a clip as a nominee for Best Male Athlete. For sure, that's still in connection with his decision to join Miami Heat.

And the sadder part for LeBron was, he lost the award. The Best Male Athlete award went to football player
Drew Brees, who was the night's big winner, also winning Best Championship Performance, Best NFL Player and as member of New Orleans Saints who won as Best Team.

In the ESPY Best Fighter category, Floyd Mayweather Jr scored a "punch"
