Can you imagine how an Andre Ward vs. Bernard Hopkins fight would go down? That ref would earn every penny.
I seriously can't imagine how the hell that would play out. It's intriguing as ****, I would definitely pay to watch that fight. And yea, I bet that very few refs would want to be a part of that.
Every time watching that makes me more of a fan of Corey's for the way he got up and tried to run at him after regaining consciousness, even after Ortiz had effectively proved to be his physical superior despite the outcome. No fear in that kid. All cojones. He was six years ahead of Floyd on the whole "**** NO, you're not getting away with that ****" tip. :yep Of course, when the ref held him back he didn't throw a punch anyway. Big cojones, but a cooler head and truckloads more class than the spoiled punk from Kansas.
Nobody's saying that. Entirely different circumstances. :blood Did you watch the video? (and the PPV, or highlights)
They're not defending Ortiz. They all know he's mostly the one to blame. They just choose to ignore what he did, so they can conveniently single out, attack and degrade Mayweather. ****, I'm not even a fan of the guy.
