    A few years ago I was training for a smoker. I was jab sparing not my trainer but a guy who was training some other guys for the smoker. (the smoker never happened if your wondering). I don't think this guy liked me that much. So back to the main part of the story. He made a motion with his hand and I thought he was showing me something I was doing wrong. So I let my gaurd down. He taged me. What did I learn? The most basic rule in boxing. Protect yourself at all times.

    Good example. Hopefully Ortiz has now learned that lesson as well. That he didn't know before what any novice should is mindblowing at this level.

    It still blows my mind that after the left Floyd landed in that moment, Ortiz STILL didn't even ATTEMPT to put his guard up. It's like he didn't recognize the warning shot, before the right leveled him.

    It sucks a big fight had to end like that on the big stage, but it is boxing after all, and crazier **** has happened in the ring.

    The record book will rightfully show, Mayweather KO4 Ortiz.

    **** a rematch, Pacquaio better be on Floyd's menu next (and vice versa, assuming Pac wins), or I will forever resent both fighters to a certain degree.

    Yes my people are filling papers in court against Victor Ortiz for stealing my interlectual proptery. :D

    No but I made sure not to fall for the same trick twice.
