Completely agree with the OP. Many old timer boxing fans I speak to have lost interest in the sport. This is a gentleman's sport, the sweet science. What Ortiz did was wrong, but Mayweather is a veteran and should have taken the higher road. Imagine if he would have knocked him out later in the fight with honor, he would have gained respect instead of lost it. What he did was legal, but can anyone imagine the ATGs doing that?
I was pulling for Ortiz but his behaviour really pisssed me off. First intentional headbutt and then how many times is he going to apologize? He already apologized in the corner, he kissed him which would **** me off as well, a hug and I dont know what else he wanted to do suck his dick ?
ortiz lost what little mexican fans he had with all the hugging and kissing.could you imagine morales or barrera doing all that,i mean not even de la hoya would have kissed him.
People are mad at floyd for punching someone during the fight. No one told ortiz to go hug him again and buy off time until the end of the round to run down the clock. Oh but ortiz thought this or that, its ortiz's fault for not paying attention and doing whatever the hell he was doing when the fight was resuming.
i would have no problem telling floyd my opinion on that fight face to face.i wish floyd would hit me so i could sue his ass for millions.
Nobody's crying about Ortiz getting KTFO you dolt. It's all about the chicken-**** way Floyd did it. He could have put his skills to the test by trying to put a hurt on Ortiz but instead he took the cheapest way out.
so to the gumps and idiots here.. What should floyd have done in live action when he knows the fight is on and the guy in front of you just tried to knock all your teeth out with a jumping head butt. Don't you ****ing idiots see all this happened within 30 seconds..lmao. Don't you know that floyd knew that butt could of did more damage if he did not pull his head back.. You dickhead ass mother****ers. If mosley did that **** to pac and surely broke his jaw bc pac don't have the instincts to pull away would you sing the same song. The only thing on floyds mind after the butt is to **** ortiz up something serious and you can tell from thousands of miles away just looking at his actions he did not accept ortiz bs apology. He should of pushed him or something but then he would be breaking the rules and could of got a point taken. You whores still would of bitched. Ortiz violated any sportsmanship since the first rd when he attempted 4 plus intentional butts and rabid punched when floyd was not even bending just intentionally hooking around the back if the head bc he could not hit **** else. Whatever floyd reaction was going to be was not going to be sportsman.. What if he butted ortiz back or hit him low... Like any figher in a foul fest fight would. You gumps need to find a new sport bc boxing is not for you.
That was a flagrant ***** shot by Floyd. Stop acting like a blind ***** and accept it. You don't see anyone defending Ortiz's cheap tactics.:-(
Ortiz fuked it all up...HE'LL REGRET IT WHEN THAT 2.5 MILLION IS GONE TOO...GUY HAD A CHANCE TO BEAT THE BEST N FUKED IT UP.
I'm the best at proving my point...thus why threads always "stop" with my last post..speak the truth n only facts n my argument!
You can twist this story about sportmanship anyway way you wanna but the truth is Ortiz didnt realize nothing. What he did was premeditated and with the intent to do great bodily harm to Mayweather. Fighters know when thier opponent is not just boxing but actually trying to hurt them. At that point, sportmanship be dammed and protect yourself at all times becomes the law of the land. You dont have to live with the damage he did and couldve done to Mayweather. Its not your face getting broke up by some illegal **** so its easy for you to take the moral high ground. That apoligy that Ortiz offered was bull**** and treated as such by Floyd. Floyd is a sportsman and hes showed that on several occasions, but he aint no punk and he showed Ortiz that. Oh yeah, Ill bet it wont be much of that hugging **** going on untill the fight is over. Ortiz broke a serious code.
