We barely heard Cortez say "Fight", WHILE HE WAS MIC'ed UP, Ortiz couldnt have heard!

Im tired of this BS rumor that Ortiz heard. Joe Cortez was Mic'ed up for the people at home. Even with him having a MIC that filters out the crowd noise we still BARELY heard him say it, that means he mumbled it, he didnt say it clearly, take out your microphone and say fight in a low voice, the microphone picks it up. Ortiz had thousands of people yelling, he didnt have luxury of having Cortez'es microphone feed. Do you dumb fans realize that Cortez had a mic on him? Even with a Mic we only heard a whisper that lasted half a second, so if we at home barely heard it in a controlled quiet environment, how could you expect Victor Ortiz to hear a mumble when he doesn't have Mic feed, adrenaline pumping thru, and thousands of people yelling stuff? Dude was confused, he saw Floyd motion for a hug and hugged him, then got sucker punched while looking at the ref. So please stop saying "Cortez said to fight" WE could barely hear it at home with a direct mic feed, impossible to hear his whisper in the ring if u a fighter

So true. Most people are looking for one guy to blame but it was all of them. Cortez for not being clear and seperating the two, Ortiz for not paying full attention and being too trusting, and Floyd for hugging and using that trust to cheapshot the guy who doesn't know he's fighting. Not a good thing for his legacy and 100% avoidable. There's enough blame to go around. None of them will admit they were wrong though.

Bottom line is that once more, Ortiz wanted to quit, and he did.

If Cortez said 'fight' and the Prime Time team seemed convince he did, then its all mute. At that moment all the blame lies on Ortiz as the fight was on. Defend yourself at all times and it was all legal.

So he did say it. Terrible excuse. Ortiz dug his own grave in that fight. He was cheating, and got paid back. I find it incredible everyone is so biased against Floyd. I hate him, but he is smart, skillful, and just too fukking good. He doesnt care about being a nice guy. He didnt cheat. Ortiz deserved it. In boxing, u have to be really objective when ur dislike for a fighter clouds ur judgement on him and his achievements.

He never said FIGHT. After the point deduction he made hand motions for them to come back to the middle of the ring while muttering "Let's go". A few seconds later, after they're back in the middle, he looks to the time keepers and says "Ya'll ready?", as if he was then going to look back at the fighters and tell them to begin fighting to start the time again. Before he even looks back at the fighters, Floyd sucker punched Ortiz. Cortez ****ed up majorly. Why would you ask if the time keepers are ready if you already started the time? Should probably do that BEFORE you tell the fighters to re-engage. He lost control of the action in the ring, and gave mixed signals as to whether it was still time out or not. Ortiz still should be protecting himself, though. What a dumbass.

:haha: his props? For what? Needing 2 punches to KO Ortiz who was turned away from him with his feet planted and looking at the ref? Anyone in world regardless of chin can be KO'd by 1 sucker punch, u dont have to be strong, a little kid can do it. When your body not expecting it. I thought Floyd was the best in the world? Is this how he has to fight? He couldnt prove it in the ring so he goes for the cheapest shot in Boxing in over 10 years? Yea, im sure you guys are real proud of Floyd for that. Ortiz already had a point taken away, but I guess it wouldve been okay for Floyd to pull out his Mac-10 and shoot him? cuz u know 2 wrongs = right. Floyd proves again him and his family are gutter ball criminals who would kill their own father for some cash. Real respectfull! You guys proud!

Maybe they should give the refs a megaphone in future to make sure the fighters can hear. True. It's amazing Vic heard anything elser Cortez said in the preceding rounds! Well done, Vic!
