A headbutt deserves a sucker punch.

:deal

I wouldn't have even complained if he responded with a blatant nutpunch when Ortiz tried to hug him. Floyd is a gentleman for responding legally to an illegal move.

 

No **** I wish agbeko would have responded like that to mares when they fought.

 

Get ready for Mares to Kick his ass a second time! Also yes both actions were wrong and unsportsmanlike. Right when the fight was becoming a war. A rematch sounds entertaining. With Floyd winning very likely.

 

My first reaction was to think that Floyd was a ****, well, even more of a **** than I originally thought anyways. I gave it some thought and came to the conclusion that if Ward starts that headbutting **** on Froch and Carl sucker punches him for it, I'd probably think it was hilarious so it would be hypocritical of me to criticise Floyd for it.

That still doesn't excuse such an obvious mismatch in the first place though.

 

A headbutt deserves a DQ.

2 wrongs don't make a right.

Nobody deserves a sucker punch. It's a coward's way out.

I'd have prefered to have seen Floyd KTFO Ortiz while Ortiz was trying to fight back.

 

Very well put.

If Froch does that to Ward I will be celebrating.

 

Ortiz lost his cool and was in the wrong for the headbutts. However, he was already penalised a point, and Mayweather was in a position to punish him for the rest of the fight. What is totally classless and cowardly is if you pretend to embrace someone and then open up on them whilst they are apologising. No class. No honour.

I would have respected Mayweather a whole lot more if he just refused to acknowledge Ortiz's apology and carried on punishing him.

 

Agreed.

In light of Khan-Judah and Mares-Agbeko, I think Ortiz thought there was a chance that he would get away with fighting dirty.

I don't think Ortiz really "lost his cool" with the head butt. I think that may have been a strategy going in to the fight. He was head butting for a good portion of the fight, and I think he was going to continue to see how far it would be allowed.

He took a chance and it didn't work.

And in that same light of the Khan-Judah and Mares-Agbeko "dirty fights", Mayweather was damned if he was going to let that shite happen to him!

Nah, Floyd shoulda' bitten off his ear!

 

Maybe, but the fight shouldn't end with that retaliation punch :deal

 

Tyson's bites were in retaliation for holyfields headbutts, so you're either saying the bites were smart or floyd should have been disqualified...

 

That was striaght out of the WWE if I have ever seen it!

Somone in Floyds corner distracted the ref and Floyd leveled Ortiz with two illegal shots with ref distracted for a KO. I see that all the time on monday night raw.
