what ortiz did was wrong,he intentionally head butted floyd and i dont buy that it was an accident.what really puzzles me is wtf was ortiz thinking in there,i mean its not like he was getting tottally dominated in the fight and that round was going his way.sometimes i think ortiz is not all there in the head.if you are gonna fight dirty then fight dirty,dont apologize for fighting dirty.hopkins dont apologize for it and mayweather dont for hitting on the break and when guys are sticking there gloves out to touch gloves. now what floyd did imo was worse,he had his hands down like he was gonna hug ortiz and then hit him.now the left hook could have passed as "now were even",but the right was down right dirty.now if mayweather would have had his hands up in a fighting posture and ortiz would have walked in with his hands down than that would have been ortiz dumb ass fault.the floyd fans are talking much **** about how he knocked ortiz out,come on man it was a cheap shot ko,nothing to brag about in that.
How wasn't it right, this ****er just launched his head like a missile at him intentionally and you want Mayweather to then play nice?
i already said ortiz was wrong for the head butt but you are wrong when you said floyd didnt have his hands down like he was gonna hug him because watch it again he sure did.listen to stewards response in the comentary.it was what it was but just like floyd he trys to make it out to be more than than that,it was a cheap shot ko.harold lederman had ortiz winning at least 1 of the 1st 3 rounds.dominated means winning the rounds clearly not just by a few punchs.
Illegal headbutt, yes; protect yourself at all times, yes; legal KO, yes. However Mayweather deliberately hit Ortiz as hard as he possibly could when he knew he wasn't looking and had his hands down. I find that difficult to respect and he didn't need to do it. Personally I would rather have seen Mayweather punish Ortiz over the coming rounds with his superior skills. I would always prefer to see a KO come from a shootout or a counter. Hitting a guy that hard when you know he isn't looking may well be legal but it's unsporting and opportunistic. Boxing is a spectator sport and I don't believe anyone really wanted to see the fight end that way. I felt ripped off.
:good:good..at the end of the day it was ortiz own fault for not paying attention..i mean floyd hit him a left 1st and he still didnt cover up...to me thats ****ing stupid...
I love the new rules of boxing, we can not hit a boxer who puts his hands down and tries to hug his fellow boxer after the ref signals for the fight to begin.
so what if a boxer sticks his glove out to touch gloves in the opening of the 1st round and the other guy just knocks him out would that be all good as well.nobodys saying that it wasnt legal but it was dirty.
Yes it would be all good. Don't you people understand that all that glove tapping is up to the people who decide to do it, there is no obligation for any of it and if you let your guard down you deserved to be hurt for it.
if you're in a fight and you don't want to get hit anymore, just put your hands down and look at the ref. It's against the rules for them to hit you :rofl
why couldnt you just shake your head no that you dont want to touch gloves,why do you have to hit them.have any of you spent anytime in a boxing gym before?do you think this is what trainers tell there boxers,to hit guys when they try to touch gloves or to hit a guy who is trying to say he was sorry,if you do you are wrong.this is a SPORT not mortal combat,there is such a thing as sportsmanship but floyd wouldnt know nothing about that and im sure that ortiz ko will be on his greatest hits video.i must have missed that section"greatest cheapshots of all time"
what do you think about the ending to this fight? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsuWx0oR7J4[/ame]
that was the refs fault he let that fight get way outta control but if you dont want to get hit low stop holding the guys head down,stop holding so damb much.that was not a good example of your point at all,both fighters were in the middle of exchanges when the final low blow was landed.
