VICTOR ORTIZ:

"September 17th, there's a loss on his record; there's a scratch on that record of his...I worked my ass to get this WBC title and I'll be damned before somebody takes it out of my hands, so come get it, Floyd! Come get it, buddy! I dare you," stated WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, who was living up to his "vicious" nickname at today's press conference in Los Angeles to announce his September 17th showdown with undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather. Ortiz was confident and had a chip on his shoulder from the minute he walked down the red carpet at today's event, which looked like a Hollywood movie premiere. Before the press conference even began, Ortiz immediately got in the face of Mayweather during the face off, standing his ground and pushing Mayweather back on occasion. You don't want to miss what else the fired up Ortiz had to say as he made it clear that he won't be disrespected during the promotion of the fight.

VICTOR ORTIZ QUOTES:

I worked my ass to get this WBC title and I'll be damned before somebody takes it out of my hands, so come get it, Floyd! Come get it, buddy! I dare you!

Here's the thing. Let's get something straight here. For the people here that thought maybe that I didn't have, as you guys call it, balls, you know, or any kind of heart, right? The times I've boxed, right? Those are the times that my coaches asked me to. The times they wanted me to go to war, I went to war. 

Hey, Mayweather's a beast, but I'm a monster, so with that said and done, I don't care. If Mr. Mayweather wants to box, I'll box. He wants to bang, I'll bang. At the end of it all, I'm walking away with that championship because I am the new WBC champion of the world and there's nobody that will pry that motherfucker out of my hands. You keep that in mind. You can keep that in mind. I'm going to do this for all the Mexican people, all the American people, and all the people that come along with that.

You know what? I'm just tired of keeping my mouth closed, and every time I do, somebody has something bad to say, but in this point in time, I'm Mexican to the fullest, proud out of it, and I'm going to show you, all you people, how I'm gonna roll. I'm gonna knock this dude out. If he wants to box, I'ma box him. If he wants to get knocked out, let's do the damn thing. If you wanna dance, we can dance. Not a problem, alright?

I'm just kinda tired of hearing that he's fighting Pacquiao; he's fighting Pacquiao next, he's fighting Pacquiao next. No, no, no, no, no! He's fighting me next! Me! Not Pacquiao! Me! Victor Ortiz! Also known as "Vicious", alright?
