What if it happened the other way around, and Mayweather doin the headbutt, tries a sorry hug for Ortiz and catching that KO punch... Do you think "protect yourself at all times" argument would still come out?
Only one apology needed. Especially this insincere shite that's only after a number of fouls and finally being penalized. Protect yourself at all times. End argument. This issue is over.
I honestly think victor would of got DQ'd. The ref would of said he didnt restart the fight and victor's punches would have been deemed illegal. Real talk
People would be cheering Ortiz and the KO would stand. Fight was on. Ortiz would be a hero in the eyes of the public.
I see the outcome and ruling of the fight being the same with Mayweather making a lot of noise trying to get his 41-0 back :|:|:|
yes protect yourself at all times .. You have no idea, in the heat of battle what your opponent is thinking, or what they thought they heard. Some fighters during a fight say they heard the bell sound , some say they may have heard the ref say "break", some are just down right crazy.. In any case, when the adrenaline is on RED line you keep your dame hands up.
