Do any of you undertsand what an UNWRITTEN RULE IS?

How the hell am I mixing up terms that I didn't even use? I never said **** about morality. Morality is a religious concept. That's not my thing. As far as respect, I would've respected Mayweather's decision either way.

 

WBC to review the fight....

 

LOL, that's a pretty good story there, It would have been even better if it was true! If you watch the end of the fight again, Floyd didn't go for a hug it was Ortiz, Money was squaring up, at first it looked like he (ortiz) was only going to touch gloves but went in close. Remember, by this time Floyd was postured to fight and could easily have thought he (Ortiz) was going try and do some "inside work", like he was doing before the break. But instead of doing anything he just started to back up. As soon as he say his target "two piece combo".

Cortez signaled to fight and I thought that meant to fight . . . which is exactly what PBF was ready to do. I was confused with all the extra hugging that Ortiz was trying to do. he said sorry 2x at least already

How can you be so mad at Floyd and not have equal anger at Ortiz? The guys flying headbutt was even more dangerous. How many boxers would expect a "billygoat" butt in the corner? He could fractured PBF eye socket, broke his jaw, knocked out a few teeth or knocked him out . . . where is your outrage about this act? I agree who would have thought Ortiz would have done something so "underhanded"? Why didn't you questions Ortiz's breaking of the "unwritten rule"? I agree there is **** you just don't do . . . a flying headbutt with a guy in the corner is one of them!

If you are gonna get pissed about breaking this "UNWRITTEN RULE" get pissed at both.

 

the ****? why? It was a legal shot!

 

Im a Floydfan too until Floyd did the sneaky unacceptable blow, but still, Floyd UD Pac.

 

What I meant is that you are mixing up two concepts. Mea culpa.


There are two sides to this dilemna.


Was it legal - yes

Was it right - No

See the point.

 

good post OP. the whole thing sucks.

 

I know, I know!

An unwritten rule is the one everybody obeys, even though it's not specifically in the rule book. I believe it goes like this:

"Protect yourself at all times."

 

So how long was Floyd supposed to wait for Ortiz to apologize? What if he came out the corner the next round with his hands down and tried to tap gloves and then try hugging Floyd again?
Is Floyd obligated to keep doing that bull****. You must have been one of the few people to enjoy Pac/Mosley.

Floyd walked up to him with his hands up ready to fight and acknowledged his apology. Floyd tapped gloves with him and Ortiz stuck his hands out again and he got hit with the left hook. Now he should have been ready to fight all along, and especially after the left hook
What does he do after getting hit? He turns his head and put his hands even lower. **** if I was in Victor's shoes, I would only blame myself

 

I just got off the phone with the vice chairman who called to see how my kid did against Mosley Jr.

We started to talk about that fight he said that the WBC beleives that time was not in and will be reviewing the tape...

You can call me a liar all you want but I ran this mans gym for three years...

 

Since the Ortiz team seemed to already have it in their minds that Floyd is/was going to be dirty in the fight, I wonder if that had any effect on his mindset going into the fight.

Maybe he figured Floyd was going to be dirty so I'm going to be dirty also even though Floyd didnt seem to be doing anything dirty. Seemed strange I never really saw or thought of Ortiz of a dirty fighter the way he was in that fight.

But he got what he deserved!

 

If mayweather was mad about the headbutts he shuld hav retaliated on the spot. He shuld hav swung back as soon as ortiz headbutt him.

The ****ed up part is Mayweather pretended to accept ortiz's apology and den stuck him hard. Add to that he hit him even harder after ortiz looked at cortez. Dats dirty **** where im from.

 

There can be only one certainty with that statement!!!!!!



rematch!!!!!!!

Same ****, different date.

 

Maybe so maybe not, I for one beleive that Floyd didnt care if time was in and was willing to take the DQ...

But let these cats think I am bullshitting.... its all to the good.

 

You're talking about what Mayweather didn't have to do. Well, Ortiz didn't have to intentionally headbutt Mayweather, he didn't have to keep his hands down. Both fighters made choices. IMO, Mayweather's choice was justifiable. I don't believe that Mayweather has any obligation to extend any professional courtesy to Ortiz or follow any unwritten rules consdering Ortiz extended no professional courtesy towards Floyd and purposley broke written rules.
