Showtime's Fight Camp 360: Ortiz vs. Berto II will air on Wednesday, Feb. 1, at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, chronicling the events leading up to the rematch between former welterweight beltholders Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto. Episode 1 of the preshow, which will be replayed on Showtime, Showtime Extreme and CBS Sports Network, will include exclusive footage from the training camps of both Ortiz and Berto. Ortiz defeated Berto by close unanimous decision to win the WBC belt in what was hailed as the Fight of the Year by many boxing publications last April but he was dethroned via fourth-round knockout loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last September. Berto rebounded from the loss to Ortiz by dethroning IBF welterweight titleholder Jan Zaveck by fifth-round knockout last September, stopping Zaveck for the first time in Zaveck's career. Berto vacated the IBF belt in order to take the return bout with Ortiz. Ortiz-Berto I featured two knockdowns each by the fighters.
