Ward does not head butt on purpose; he doesn't have a history of head butting other than what unfortunately happened in a recent fight.
Ward will dominate AA. He's the real deal. He will be one of the greats. He's not always the most exciting fighter to watch.
I f@cking hate boxing!
This is classic European boxing; bias and robbery don't happen often in American decisions.
Things like this hurt boxing's credibility.
Fighters don't try to fake an incident to get the other fighter disqualified.
Yea, really bad faking like a punk. Then running from the ring with his head down as the crowd throws trash at him lol. What a fighter!
Mayweather is the favorite, but not an 8 to 1, or 6 to 1 favorite. I'd say 2 (or 3) to 1.
Floyd, who doesn't have the confidence to fight Pacquiao, is living on his reputation. He's a legendary counter puncher and as another poster said will test Ortiz's lackluster defenses. Floyd is a boring fighter to watch. Not a brawler and strategically picks you apart to accumulate points.
I hope Ortiz's strength and hunger will catch Floyd and put him down. If that doesn't happen Floyd will pick him apart round by round and win the decision. Regardless of who wins, Ortiz will probably hit the canvas once, that's normal for him. The question, how sophisticated has Ortiz become? He definitely has a chance to win this.
Ortiz is fantastic to watch. I've been following Ortiz since his professional start and hope he KO's Floyd.
That's good to know as it was confusing, and makes Mayweather's win legal.
Here's a question. Why did Mayweather keep his guard down to shake hands with Ortiz, only to sucker punch him when he was close.
Pretty Boy Floyd is now Ghetto Boy Floyd.
HELL FLOYD WAS IN HIS CHEST WITH A GODDAMN HIGH GUARD FOR ****S AND GIGGLES. LOL
Are you Mayweather Sr.?
While GBF raised his high guard Ortiz was hugging him.
Last night was a low point for boxing, right behind the Mike Tyson ear biting incident.
Ortiz was overmatched but certainly not out in round three. Then Ortiz, assumingly frustrated by Mayweather's skills threw an ugly head butt in desperation which thankfully did not cause much damage (post fight Ortiz lies about the intention of the butt). Instead of taking his point loss and a few normal glove pats to apologize, Ortiz continued his remorsefulness tour after the ref asked the fighters to box on (significant because this makes Mayweather's win legal). Mayweather, came in close to a defenseless Ortiz seeming to continue his acceptance of Ortiz's apology, and sucker punched his way to a KO.
Then when pressed about the punches Mayweather curses and insults an 80 year old man- who stood up to him by the way.
Pretty Boy Floyd is now Ghetto Boy Floyd. Ortiz is somewhat bizarre. The hero of the night is Larry Merchant. I will never spend another dollar watching GBF.
Shameful butt by Ortiz.
Cortez screws up another fight.
Mayweather KO's Ortiz before ref says box.
Mayweather threatens Larry Merchant.
What a disaster.
