The kind of headbutt Ortiz did on Mayweather, while obviously intentional, is one of the most dangerous kind. Mayweather's head was cocked back and Ortiz did a leaping forward/angled upward butt that hit directly on mayweathers upper nose. I'm not a doctor but its common sense that if you hit someone hard enough on that angle (especially when using your head) that you can potentially kill someone. If it wasnt a championship fight, I wouldn't have argued with a DQ call.
I didn't forget. Weak minded move by Ortiz. I'm never watching any of his fights again. Headbutt about as bad as Floyd's cheapshot. The difference here is, nobody is defending Ortiz's headbutt.
This is why I don't understand the outrage. Mayweather was blatantly fouled and his mouth was all busted up. The ref continued the fight. Why should Mayweater have waited for Ortiz to be ready after Ortiz did him dirty like that? And the people blasting Mayweather know damn well they wouldn't be critcizing Ortiz had the situation been reversed.
Also, Ortiz stuck his head under Floyd's chin and pressed against it TWICE in other sequences before the one that ended with his intentional headbutt. Haven't seen anyone pointing that out yet.
What are you ****ing ******ed? or are you 12? you are not going to come up in here with the old, pushing someones nose up into their brain that **** is NOT real, you dont even have bone in your nose dumbass... What about Floyds elbows in that last round? atleast six and one of them he hit Ortiz in the face a split second prior to the but, in other words Ortiz fought fire with fire if you ask me... And Floyd knew that, which is why he found his way out with a cheap shot, he didnt want to be in there with a kid who was going to fight fire with fire... And ima be real, I beleive that Mayweather didnt care if those shots were legal or not, I beleive he did that cus he was ****ing pissed off, and was willing to live with what ever out come he was handed.....
Yep. And nobody is saying the KO was illegitimate either. What we have here basically is a whole slew of people talking to no one in particular, preaching from the pulpit, who won't shut the **** up. ******ism is at epic proportions. All it takes is the right event to bring that fact to the surface.
Thats the point dumbass, you have no bone protection when getting hit at that angle. If you get hit on the side where there is skull protecting your brain, its not as severe. There are tons of blood vessels/etc. in and around your nasal passage that if hit hard enough YOU BLEED OUT
Indeed. Ortiz addressed that at the press conference. He said that was his way of sending the message back that Floyd's elbows and forearm shivers weren't welcome.
