Cortez said "LET'S GO!" then they touched gloves then Floyd smacked him

Go back and watch the replay; I did. And you could hear it loud and clear that Cortez said "Let's go" then backed away then they embraced, then mental midget Ortiz lost his focus in what he thought was a Shane Mosley lovefest and Floyd took out his anger on Ortiz's face for headbutting him. Bottom line, end of story. Was it nice? NO! Would Manny have done that? NO! But it's what makes Floyd Mayweather the assassin he is regardless of what his haters and detractors have to say. I'm a Mayweather fan and respect his all-time great skillset, but it was a little dirty and you could see the look on all of his team's faces afterwards that they werent particularly excited about the ending. 50 Cent and Ellerby looked concerned. I also thought Floyd wasn't as sharp as he's been in the past and I thought he looked a little rusty and a little older, and I think my opinion of him easily beating Manny has been somewhat changed. I'd still bet on Floyd, but I wouldnt bet too much after what I saw tonight. If I were Al Haymon, I'd recommend Floyd fight Khan then Manny. Floyd needs more activity or I can see his "O" going bye-bye in the near future. Classic fight though...and one people will be talking about for years to come. MAYWEATHER = GREATEST VILLIAN IN BOXING HISTORY. LOL...

thats the beauty of it. Floyd will be known by the masses as a dirty fighter after this fight, and not the actual fight he was winning. haha Yep, sad but true. He was putting on a clinic and showing offense that hasn't really been seen since his lighter weight classes.

Nah he wasn't, he was just high. When he said let's go, was the clock running? Get back to me with a logical post. It's sad this controversy will overshadow what a clinic Mayweather was showing. Whether or not the clock was running was inconsequential. If you're a fighter and you just headbutted Mayweather and you start embacing him KNOWING HE HAS A HISTORY OF CLOCKING FIGHTERS OUT OF THE BREAK you don't act like a deer in the headlights like Ortiz did. Like I said earlier, it was Ortiz's youth and naivety that did him in. After all the press conferences, 24/7's, private jet and limo rides, talking about his upbringing and how he was going to end Mayweather's career..the moment arrived and he couldn't keep his composure. He simply cracked under the spotlight...first with the headbutt, then with his bizarre reaction afterwards.

its the fighters job to listen to the ref. they arent supposed to be watching the clock or even the ref. the ref says lets go, u fight. u dont hug u dont kiss, u fight. floyd ****ed up the fight with what could have been a good win for him but he did nothing wrong to ortiz. Yes of course, but also the refs job to keep the fight clean. I'm fair but I'm firm hahah what a joke. Floyd was looking great, I just hate how this fight went down.

Cortez is stupid, Let's go and time hasn't started. He didn't even focus on the fighters, even he looked surprised after the cheap left hook landed on Ortiz. Ortiz was even more stupid to leave his guard down. Cortez should never ref a world title fight ever ! LOL So now Cortez is LYING. Hahahahah.

"Time was in," Cortez said. "The fighter needed to keep his guard up. Mayweather did nothing illegal." http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/6983926/floyd-mayweather-scores-controversial-ko-victor-ortiz Boom, headshot! Cortez is stupid, Let's go and time hasn't started.

All these arguments are stupid He did not instruct the fighters to box or the timekeeper run the clock. It was an illegal punch. "Time was in," Cortez said. "The fighter needed to keep his guard up. Mayweather did nothing illegal." http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/6983926/floyd-mayweather-scores-controversial-ko-victor-ortiz Boom, headshot!

Cortez fked up, it was cheap shot by May but it was legal. The time wasn't started when Cortez said let's go. Go watch the replay. Either way Ortiz fked up with the headbutt, Cortez fked up because he's a joke of a ref. Mayweather cheap shotted and no one can deny that unless your a flomo. Sure it was legal but it was cheap end of story. Nothing not cheap about it. In the end, this will hurt Floyd even though he was showing vintage skills of offense and defense. It's sad that it went the way it did because Floyd was dominating.

the only thing ortiz regrets is not headbutting floyd head into a KO. then it wouldve been worth it..haha. he was penalized for that other beadbutt wasnt he?

What if Ortiz would have punched Mayweather out of the embrace and knocked Floyd out? People would have applauded his shrewdness and aggression and people would have **** all over Mayweather. Ortiz had already left his feet in order to hit Mayweather out of frustration. What would have stopped him from hitting Mayweather out of an embrace? Mayweather is the smarter and more experienced boxer and Ortiz was looking for an out, imo. After the first left hook, Ortiz was still looking at the ref when he should have been fighting...Mosley did the same ****. Screw that...touch gloves then fight... ****in a man. Green. Doesnt matter to the ****ing haters on this board.no matter what floyd is wrong. Headbutts are ok now apparently. ****, anything is ok as long as floyd doesnt do it, or floyd wins. I really hate this forum sometimes.

Not only did he say "let's go" but he also waved them in. Calling Floyd a cheater is dumb. The two punches were legal. Ortiz assaulted with his head, which is illegal, and Floyd let his fists do the talking. Cheating? No way! Bad sportsmanship? Maybe - it depends. Since when did "lets go" become the verbage for fighters to engage after a break in the action? Since when does a ref look away from the combatants as they are supposed to engage?

I just got back. The entire bar was yelling cheater. You shouldnt hit right after the break, ive seen boxers penalized for that, floyd included. Cortez shouldve made them go back to each others corner, he ****d up. Ortiz shouldnt have headbutted, but that was still some ****** ass **** by floyd. asterics will cover what i said, but guess what it was.
