Do any of you undertsand what an UNWRITTEN RULE IS?

To be perfectly honest, I would've preferred that he didn't do what he did. However, he was completey justified in his actions. You can sit here and call me biased, but I think you're the biased one. The guy I'm defending broke no rules. Everything he did was legal, and his desire for retribution was more than understandable.

 

Ortiz commits an illegal foul with a leaping head butt then gets caught twice after not looking at his oppoenent yet Floyd is the bad guy :huhHilarious !

 

if he had taken the high road:

1. he would gotten more rounds in and shaken off more ring rust.. probably get that percentage higher as the fight went on
2. he would have given ultimately what the fans came for.. a boxing match. not a prematurely stopped fight
3. what better way of retribution than completely outclassing your opponent?

 

the unwritten rule is that you have to wait for the

to be over


The written rule is you're not allowed to headbutt people.


Floyd should just come out in the interviews and say 'Yeah, I smacked the **** out of him when he went in for a 5th apology. He'd just headbutt me 5 or 6 times and I wasn't in the mood for niceties'.

 

end thread

 

Boxers don't disregard ****. Second, Shane didn't butt Floyd. Third, what if that was Floyd hitting Pacquiao like Marquez, Cotto and Morales were?

 

You talk about twisting, but that's exactly what your're doing. The only way not to do any twisitng is by sticking to the facts. Once you interject your opinion, it's all spin. Fact, Ortiz had a point taken away for heabutting. Fact, Cortez restarted the round. Fact, the punch that knocked out Oriz was legal. If you want to elminate any twisting, you have to stick to the facts. It you want to interject your opinion, realize that wll involve you twisitng events to suit your point of view.

 

not just that, but Floyd had to get stitches after the fight because of it and showed a bigass knot on the back of his head from the rabbit punches Ortiz was landing. Floyd kept his composure and didn't complain for a while, but that last butt was the last straw and I got no problem with what he did.
I just wish it didn't have to come down to it

 

You are mixing up terms.


Legally right and morally right are two separate entities.


Example ;

Child labor is legally right in some Asian countries, but is it morally right?


Or The punch was for all purpose and legality, within the bounds of thr rules and regulations (somewhat because it appeared that Ortiz did not understand that the fight is on by the somewhat dubious officiating).


But was it morally right? It was obvious to even Stevie Wonder that Ortiz had his guard down.


You can justify whatever you want with legality of the punch (no one is disputing that), but was Gayweather right in punching a defenseless fighter? To you, it is all sunshine and flowers. But not to me. In sports, sometimes it is not about winning the game but about how the win was achieved.

I confer respect to fighters who loss many times because of how they conducted themselves in the ring. Take David Diaz, Paul William, Montiel as examples. Even Pac in losing to Morales earned my respect. There are no better examples of gentlemen than them and no better example of SPORTSMAN too.


BTW, you did not even answer the question. Would your respect multiply if he took the higher ground instead of stooping to the level of Ortiz?

 

Taking the high road may have also resulted in those cuts in his mouth getting worse which may have comprimised his ability to perform. We just don't know. Agbeko took the high road vs. Mares and look where it got him. Again, I would've prefered he took the high road, but I can't blame him for no taking the high road.

 

:rofl come the **** on. What Judah did was out of no where, illegal and out of frustration.
Judah's low blow and rabbit punch is on par with Ortiz, not Floyd you irrational hater

 

what i'm doing? where did i say that opposes those facts? those facts are laid down and are as clear as the day. ortiz is a **** up but you are also justifying the part where floyd took a cheap shot and you won't have it that way.
