lets get one thing straight, Floyd did NOTHING wrong. Cortez is to BLAME.

Floyds going downhill when the only way he can get a ko is like that. He promised a ko and hes let people down enough times, so he wasnt going to the let opportunity go this time. But not the mark of a great fighter. You wouldnt get Ali, SRR or Pac happy with wins like that. Floyd will happily take the win though.

Got a point deducted when Ortiz headbutt Floyd. What more do you want? What Floyd did was a *****. And he did it while the ref wad not looking. Pac will kill this dude. But we wont see it happening though. Come on man stop it.

So Ortiz's headbutt which ISN'T legal, was OK? Most fans who aren't PBF haters were in shock at what Ortiz did, and didn't cheer the foul like Ortiz's fans did. Then Mayweather KO'S Ortiz.... And it's a FOUL????? GTFOOH!!! Cortez had nothing to do with the outcome. Ortiz was getting KO'D regardless! Live with it!!! Got a point deducted when Ortiz headbutt Floyd. What more do you want? What Floyd did was a *****. And he did it while the ref wad not looking. Pac will kill this dude. But we wont see it happening though.

exactly. spot on.

first of all, lets get one thing straight. floyd mayweather did absolutely nothing wrong last night, he capitalised on 2 mistakes that ortiz made. ortiz should never have headbutted and when he did, he should have protected himself knowing floyd was mad about the headbutt. floyd done nothing but use his experience to ko ortiz. joe cortez clearly says 'box on'. this gives the fighters the go ahead to fight. in soccer we are taught to 'play to the whistle', and this is no different. joe cortez then turns his back and looks at the time realising he didn't do that prior to saying 'box on'. floyd then ko'd ortiz. if anyone is to blame its cortez for not protecting fighters, which is his number one priority in the ring... he wasnt even watching the fight when floyd swung for ortiz. how does he know floyd didnt headbutt him back? or high kick ortiz in the face? joe cortez has always been controversial and loves the attention. its time for him to step down. otherwise one day he'll get a fighter killed in the ring. Damn right! Cortez sucks and needs to retire - he's destroying what has been a somewhat successful career.

I hope someone knows Floyds kids and kicks them in the head a few times, then tells them " KEEP YOUR HANDS UP AT ALL TIMES" ^Classy Floyd Fans

Floyd went in for the hug and then immediatley socked Ortiz out. That's f***ing lame. If you don't want to hug then fine, but don't go in "yeah it's all good man" then BAMM! If you're the best ever, Proove it, beat Ortiz when there's no confusion.

just because it was legal doesn't mean it was right. I think most boxing fans who aren't floyd nuthuggers were in shock at what he did. Boxers just don't suckerpunch people like that, even after a headbutt, low blow, or elbow. it's like dropping a nuke on a country that bombed your embassy. The embassy bombing, while completely wrong, was freakin overshadowed by half a country being nuked. But I do agree that it's time for cortez to go away. I dont give 2 sh1ts The guy tried to heabutt mayweather, And i aint no mayweather fan but as soon as he did that i was delighted I said shame on Ortiz....you fight dirty, floyd did the same except he kept within the rules Ortiz got KTFO and deserved it What p1ssed me off was ortiz just looked happy to get a payday...i used 2 be a fan...not anymore

Totally agree with the above, Floyd was well on his way to a victory and did not need to play dirty ..... Cortez is making too many mistakes now a days to ref the superfights.

maybe so but that doesn't change the fact that floyd has done this repeatedly and shows he truly has no class about how he wins , ortiz is a pud for sure

too bad it ended that way. we all know floyd would win the fight. but i just want to see ortizs' full effort against him. Floyd was too elusive the first 3 rounds. but ortiz was able to touch him before the headbut. I wish it last a couple of more rounds. it gave a little clue of what can pacman can do. But it also shows what the laser counters from floyd can do.

Floyd suckered Ortiz in pretending to be his buddy and hugging him like a long lost pal, and then smacking him twice in the chops. But when Floyd committed his first foul, ortiz took his eyes off of Floyd and looked to Cortez for intervention and then Floyd hits him again.

Cortez didn't cover himself in glory as he wasn't even looking at the action but it's Ortiz's fault not Cortez. Ortiz should have protected himself, he also should have not tried to hug and kiss Mayweather like a little horny school girl, that's not what a fighter does. Damn straight. Don't even blame Cortez. Ortiz was about ready to give anyway, and what kind of fighter tries to apologize for 30 seconds after headbutting their opponent out of frustration?

I blame Ortiz for headbutting, and then not protecting himself at all times. The reason they say that if for moments like that.

Cortez must be on the mayweather payroll, because he keeps helping Floyd to win his fights. But Floyds unbeaten run goes on, why couldnt Floyds first loss be controversial, with Floyd being knocked out when the ref asks to break? I supppose because Floyd is really careful not to lose his 0

Cortez wasn't FIRM enough in giving the signal for the resumption of hostilities and he wasn't even looking at the fighters still talkin at each other. He should've broken up the romance with more authority but his mind was elsewhere. It's still a cheap shot by Floyd. He doesn't need that kind of advantage in a fight. He's too good for cheap tricks like that. It was clear Ortiz wasn't ready yet when he got clocked, so it takes a lot from Floyd's victory. It takes away from the fight too. Ortiz certainly wasn't in combat mode during that moment. He wasn't KO'ed in an exchange. That's what sucks about this whole thing.

What Floyd did was allowable, of course it was a "legal" hit but there are unwritten rules in all sports and when fighters are touching gloves you should not be throwing punches. But it was classless and unsportsmanlike for him to do so. "Mayweather really showed a lot of talent by hitting a man WHO WASN'T LOOKING AT HIM. Regardless of how dirty the head-butt was, why would you want to win by punching a defenselss man? It's just pathetic that he thinks it's ok." Cheap shot ain't right. If you are the best win it the right way and you get all the glory. Wtf, he even had a go with Larry Merchant.. This ain't wrestling Floyd.. We wanted to get are moneys worth. Would have been an action packed fight. I wanted you to win the right way. Am I asking too much?? Ain't classy indeed.

Floyd was a classless clown. Absolutely no fair play there.

Cortez did nothing wrong,he just asked the time keeper if he had started the time yet.Victor knew what was up that's why he didnt say anything wrong the first time he was interviewed. Admit it Ortiz was beaten.He tried jumping up and down the way he normally does and he got caught with a check hook.Whatever he was doing he was getting punished,he couldnt see shots coming.
