Floyd has done similar against Gatti and Manfredy. He will go for it if it is there. Floyd had his hands up and Ortiz didn't put them up.
Protect yourself at all times
Not only is it a cheap shot, it is the worse cheap shot ive ever seen. The cheapshot came split seconds after an embrace, ive never seen anything like it before, not even in a streetfight.
We could argue all day at the end of the day it was a "cheap legal shot". Ortiz disappointed me. I like the kid but def his fault. Obviously I have been disappointed with may for yrs, I used to respect May as a very high skilled boxer, the way he was winning very impresive. He could of had a great win, instead did a ***** move and then went on to confirm what he has always been... a nig.
What's funny about this is that Floyd himself knew it was a cheap shot.
He held up his hands as if to tap gloves again to lure Ortiz in and then when Ortiz approached he looked out of the corner of his eye to see that Cortez wasn't watching and then took the two shots. He planned it.
He knew it afterwards and that's why he got so upset at Merchant. He said after the fight he wasn't there to talk about what Ortiz did dirty or what he did dirty.
Hopefully at years end, Boxing Sportswriters, Journalists will vote on this issue!
Cheap KO of the year? or
Foolish KO of the year?
It should top both polls. Cheap on Floyds part, and unbelievably stupid on Ortiz part.
very, very cheap...from supposed ATG???
Any of the 190 of you that voted cheap should check the rule book. If your argument is sportsmanship, well that was out the door once the headbutt happened. You b!tches aruge all the time that to beat floyd you have to turn it into an ugly brawl. Well Vic did that and found out that strategy don't work either.
STraight up, **** all you equating illegal acts, headbutts, plaster wraps, and ear bites, with floyd's punches. Hate the player but know the rules!
ortiz was punished by getting deducted a point. Floyd gave him a fake hug and knocked him out. Thats floyd in a nutshell. pac would never do that ****, thats why pac is loved and floyd is loathed.
Umm I don't know why Pacs name is in this convo??But anyway the ref took a point correct,but Floyd wanted payback..The problem here is Ortiz thought May was soft and tried to rattle Floyd with that dirty move..Floyd answered in kind with a dirty move all his own..You or nobody else should be mad at a fighter returning a dirty shot..Esp because Floyd shot was legal,unlike Ortiz headbutt..
Legal, but cheap. Floyd is the WBC welterweight champion, but gets absolutely no glory in winning that title. It really didnt make any sense as he was putting on a show and by taking the option he did, he lost any credit( not that he should get too much as the fight was an obvious mismatch) he would get for the win.
Crazy.:nonono:
It should not leave a bad taste in anybody's mouth tbh..Ortiz threw a butt and it was a clear foul..Ortiz said sorry and even kissed May before Cortez took the point..Then hugs May,May landed a pay back punch and Ortiz could not take it..He did not even put his hands up..It was a sucker shot yes,but nobody should have a bad taste in their mouth about it...One cheap shot deserve another...

it was legal but it was cheap. It goes to show what type of person floyd is. Pac would have never done that. You can tell floyd would do anything to keep that 0 thats why he aint fighting pac untill he has everything his way.
Floyd setup up Ortiz for the cheap shot. Its legal but what a dirty way to win the fight. Ortiz is too green fighting this magnitude of a fight or just dumb. The bizarre event that took place are staged similar to WWE.
