    Lets just hope respectful, touch gloves at the beginning over every round and after every foul or clinch Manny doesn't show up. And lets hope we don't see a 13th round of Floyd's last fight. These guys should both be reminded every round that they are making $50-60,000 a second.

    This was my thought exactly. I wouldn't put my guard down for one second.

    lol I remember that. I'm surprised Pac actually touched Shane's glove and didn't instead try to demolish him straight away. Shane does weird things sometimes, like trying to have a conversation with Floyd in the middle of the fight and then getting hit flush in the face as his reward.

    I hate it when boxers touch gloves. It's corny. I don't want to see any touching gloves on May 2nd.

    lol at flossies for even using that as sample. If anything those shots are embarassing to Floyds vaunted right. Both hands down, neutral stance, looking away to the ref and Floyd had to punch him twice? TWICE? Ortiz didn't even notice the 1st shot and kept looking at the ref....lol embarassing. So go ahead Floyd, give Pac your best Ortiz vaunted right punch and see how powerful Pac's left comes after it.

    I don't like Floyd one damn bit but when he knocked out Ortiz he absolutely did the right thing. The ref gave the signal to continue the fight and Ortiz is still trying to hug and kiss Floyd. That's ridiculous. How may more chances do you need to give someone to put their hands up and box? It's a ****ing fight. Ortiz got what he deserved.

    Yeah that superman head butt Floyd did in the corner was shameful. This aint the bible and turn the other cheek. This is the ring.

    Ortiz started that whole debacle by trying to headbutt Floyd in the last 13 seconds of that round. It ruined what could have been a great fight. As soon as the ref gives the signal to continue, you better be prepared to start fighting, not start hugging like Ortiz wanted to. I hate it when fighters try to be friendly. Leave that **** for the post fight meet up.

    A lot of trainers do not want their man touching gloves in between rounds. Stay focus as this man is here to hurt you and you the same. Don't want to start being nice in the ring. Save the niceties for after the fight.

    NO trainer does. That is why it is always surprising to see. Only touch gloves when instructed by the referee before the first bell and beginning of last round, st the refs request.

    Touch gloves every round? How about at the beginning and round 12?
