I was surprised that Mayweather was throwing so many punches; surprised that Ortiz was dodging some of them (at least partially); shocked that Ortiz walked through and landed some shots of his own; surprised about the headbutt.
And of course shocked at the ending. Thought it was bull****. Cortez is the absolute worst referee in the game. I don't want to start the debate of whether or not the fight was on when those punches were landed, but it's apparent to me that Cortez wasn't even sure himself. When the hook lands, he's not even looking at the fighters. He's looking at the time-keeper to confirm. I initially started to dislike him during the Hatton fight. I cried for his retirement during the Soto DQ. And this is just the worst, imo.

Watching the slow motion replay of Cortez reminded me of a boxing game i used to have on the old mega drive. At times the ref would visible snooze and fall asleep in the ring and it was at this time you could execute foul moves!
My cousin and i used to play that game and he would tell me when the ref was buzzing so i could unload some vicious below the belt shots!
Cortez last saturday reminded me of that very same ref.

Obviously it is very hard to beat Mayweather, but you can't use a fighter so much worse than Pacquiao to prove this point.

How does Pacquiao close the gap and get inside to land on Floyd without getting tagged. Pacquiao has an ambush style, he doesnt fight like Hatton or Margarito or Castillo or Diaz
