"Vicious" Victor Ortiz at Hoglund Ballpark

Garden City native and current WBC welterweight world champion Victor Ortiz brought his title belt to Hoglund Ballpark Tuesday night when the Jayhawks hosted in-state foe Wichita State. KU went on to win the game, 7-4. The two teams will meet again this evening in Wichita, with first pitch slated for 6:30 p.m. at Eck Stadium.

Born and raised in Garden City, Ortiz is a life-long Jayhawk fan that began boxing at the age of seven. It is currently rumored that Floyd Mayweather is looking to get in the ring with either Ortiz or Miguel Cotto within the next year for his tune-up bout.

Ortiz definitely enjoyed his night at the ballpark in Lawrence on Tuesday, as he indicated on his Twitter page:
