CONTROVERSIES ABOUND! As Ortiz got his Bearing and was about to stand up. This ****ing referee said as quick as he could 8-9-10!!! :smoke Look at his body language notice how he even wants to push Ortiz down and stay down. :smoke What a joke of a fight! :smoke [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoHNkrpp_Us[/ame] If you have a clearer video, kindly post it and see the fast FRAUDLY count. :smoke This content is protected
Now that I've watched that round again, it looked like Ortiz was coming on. Would've still got KO'd but I feel I was cheated out of a real fight.
He clearly buckled Floyd. Why are people denying this? The headbutt was out of frustration cause the elbows to his throat (the big issue before the fight) stopped his surge.
I don't like Cortez, but the count was fine. Ortiz hit the canvas at 3:12 of that video... Cortez waived off the fight at 3:23. That's actually 11 seconds, but almost dead on. By the way... Cortez counted to 9... then waived off the fight at 10. It was clear at that point that Ortiz couldn't beat the count.
The ref does not have to count to 10. If you're a boxing fan, you will see that often the ref stops counting at 5 and just waves it off because he sees a fighter is too ****ed up to continue. Even if Victor got up before 10, the ref can end the fight right there. There would be no reason for a fast count conspiracy, as Cortez could have called the fight at any time he wanted anyway. /thread
Making it at 10 had nothing to do with it. The 5-6-7 had a slower rhythm.... Then he saw Ortiz making it up..... He said 8-9-10 in a much quicker rhythm... Now there's the fraud for you :smoke
smh what i can't figure out and what makes it look clearly like a fixed fight i don't know anybody ANYBODY that has a man trapped on the ropes and is pounding him the way ortiz was that goes in for a headbutt like that
