    Ended nearly the exact same way. I just don't see what the big deal is. As a fighter, you have to be your own ref in there and its your responsibility to protect yourself. It's like Ortiz didn't scout Mayweather at all. He's the last guy you want try to tap gloves with or have your hands down against. He'll punch you in the face everytime. Ortiz reminds me of Judah. The guy mentality just kinda shuts down when things don't go his way.

    That fight was an entertaining foulfest.

    :rofl Since the emergence of the ******* we have started to witness a whole new type of sensitive boxing fan. Fighters should kiss between rounds and always make sure that their opponent is ready to take a shot.. Even when they have just butted you and the ref said fight on.

    Sorry but I disagree Hopkins did it with class, Mayweather clearly cheap shotted Ortiz, and to be honest I dont think anybody can verify that time was in, what I do know is Cortez is going to do what ever he has to do and say what ever he has to say to protect his ass

    i was telling my folks about this fight how b hop knock echols in the back of the head. the funny thing is ppl on twitter were saying that why i only watch bhop and pac fights. if these ppl really knew how hopkins get down. bhop didn't really comment on what happen either cause he know he would have done the same thing lol.
