once ortiz realizes that he can't beat floyd then he'll quit again.

I dont know what face off people are watching, but to me, Ortiz looked way more comfortable than Mayweather did.

Mayweather wasnt looking into his eyes and looked uncomfortable, meanwhile Victor did seem odd but confident.

I have to agree. Ortiz ended up coming across as an unbalanced creep. Mayweather was clearly uncomfortable and deflected all eye contact to Kellerman.

I think Floyd may now think different of this fight. Victor is bigger and his act weirded him out. Floyd gets intimidated easily, he is not mentally strong. It was a strange victory for Ortiz.

NO...you just seen what you WANTED TO SEE

Oh, is that what happened? Nope. Not really.

So said Andre Berto, some time before April 24th. Then April 24th came...

[Mr. Philadel]

Ortiz: "At this point I have no idea."

If you look earlier is this thread, you had a bunch of people talking about how Ortiz was owned, how Mayweather was playing mind games with him, etc.

I was the only one who mentioned that Floyd looked nervous, as he was playing with his water bottle and came up with the "what did he say? I wasn't paying attention" nonsense.

Now, finally, there has been 3 different people have mentioned what I said from the beginning: Mayweather seemed to avoid eye contact with Ortiz. (based on what we saw; these interviews are heavily edited)

This is not to say that Floyd is scared of him, as I think he's definitely not. I just think the "Victor Ortiz got owned" talk is nonsense.

what i did see was mayweather wasnt lookin into his eyes, and mayweather was out of character.

I seen Mayweather look him in his eyes a few times, Towards the end he looked directly at him and asked him to tell him his gameplan

again I just think your seeing what you WANT TO SEE

Mayweather never looked at Ortiz in the eye for a prolonged period of time. Victor did do so. (I'm talking about a quiet, intense stare)

You are probably seeing what you want to see.
