Here's the money quote (no pun intend): "What Floyd lost was the begrudging respect of those who hate his flamboyance, his defensive style, and his refusal to make what would be one of the biggest fights in the history of the sport. Until Saturday night, the haters had to shut up when the opening bell rang. Now they have ammunition. And just as the zero will take on different meanings as time progresses, the sucker punch will take on its own self-propagating significance. And in that way, it doesn't matter if it was actually a sucker punch or if it wasn't a sucker punch or who earned the right to do what and why." http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6990594/sucker-punch-just-happened Having watched the fight after it was posted here, I have to say the author had a point. I'm no fan of May, but until that KO I was really loving what he was doing. The man was doing the exact opposite of what what casual fans like me sometimes criticize him for, which is that he's a boring pot-shotter. The man fought like an predator for much of the fight, and even hardcore "*******s" would have had to have been impressed. Yes, the KO was totally legit in the context of the rules. But arguably he was on the way to KO'ing Tree in an impressive manner. Too bad.
yup he was doing well, and it was interesting because ortiz did some land some shots when he had floyd on teh ropes (not many but some) and we know he has heavy hands. whichi s why it sucked it ended like it did.
ortiz didnt land sum punches watch again he landed like 1 b4 he got to the ropes n maybe like 1 or 2 after that he blocked all of them n then would make him pay.
