Well it wasn't cheating because it was legal, but it was kinda cheap, only shame was it would of been a good fight, Floyd was dominating him more and more.
Was Mayweather's cheating punch an act of cowardice?
I disclaim before I answer this...I am not a "Floyd fan"
1. Floyd's punch is legal; therefore by definition not a "cheating punch"
2. Cowardly act? Hardly, Mayweather was standing toe to toe out landing Ortiz quite frequently. If anything his act was out of anger and frustration, justifiably so.
Is it a question of ethics and morals? Yes and no.
But the ethical/moral questions goes beyond Mayweather, in fact, the question of ethics and morals should lie on the shoulders of Ortiz. Ortiz headbutt was deliberate. That is true by obvious measure. One would have ask, why make a huge stink about the elbows of mayweather? Was it a strategy? Was he trying to distract the ref and the media so that he can get away with the headbutt?
We don't know, but this post and many others, in my opinion are unfairly representing the event and aren't either telling the whole story accurately or are just simply "haters"
I agree that this was a horrible situation and the fans have been cheated out of a good show...but you can't hate the guy for taking advantage of a moment (Ortiz lapse of judgement).
after a pound/hug and break i usually see fighters get in their position/stance before swinging..i guess for the sake of being on an equal playing field.
