Mayweather vs. Ortiz Official Round by Round Thread

[Marduke]

Did Cortez tell them to "box"?

Nope. He motioned for them to leave their corners, muttering 'Lets go'.

Seconds later as they get to the middle, he looks to the time keeper and says Ya'll ready?

Before he can even turn to the boxers to tell them to box, Floyd punches Ortiz.


The shady thing is, Cortez is trying to claim that he DID start the time originally. Doesn't really make sense though, considered he was asking the time keepers if they were ready, as if he was about to start the time.

Honestly, I think Cortez just ****ed up REALLY badly, and doesn't want to admit it.

Floyd did nothing wrong, and he was whipping Ortiz anyway, it's not like the outcome would have changed, Ortiz was going to give it up anyway. Also what happened to Floyd "running" all around the ring...??? Didn't see that did we??

He ****ing STALKED DOWN that mother****er, and Ortiz got scurred and started with the skull-crushing, Ortiz is a *****.

[Reloaded]

neither did mosley when he was hit by floyd when "talking".

Serious question though. Do you feel floyd was in the wrong here? Not from a technical rule standpoint, but from a sportsmanship/moral perspective.

They are programed to punch , thats why so many fighters get hit while down , ref says fight and you stand there with you hands down you gunna get cracked , you could see Floyd was about to fight and Ortiz wants to say sorry Floyd acknowledged it and pushed him off and walked forward and let them go , thats what he is trained to do , look at the dam head butt that started the whole sequence , he was throwing the head from the first round and he lined this one up , it was a blatant bad intention foul , what if he had of spit his eye wide open ,,, *** me I cant believe the **** the haters spin in here , Floyd boxed brilliant was breaking him down and Ortiz was starting to unravel at the seam ,hence the butt through frustration , Floyd was physically very very strong , when they fight Pac will be no problem and will be stopped .

The ref said "lets go" at 3:22. Anybody *****in at Floyd is simply a hater.

Case closed, he DOES tell'em to fight but Ortiz rather wants to hug Floyd and pays for it..

[Aut_72]

New rule: If a boxer looks the other way, wants to talk/hug/ kiss you, by all means you should ask the ref when you are allowed to punch during this time out called by the boxer...

And by the way Larry deserved that brutal beatdown he even said he would love to fight Floyd, thats how unbiased and ****** he is

He wasn't even looking at them you dipshit. Watch your own video scrub boy.

*UCKING OrTREES

From Dan Rafael's column:

But it was Ortiz (29-3-2, 22 KOs) who turned dirty with the intentional head-butt, not Mayweather, who was well within his rights to throw the punches that ended the fight.

"Time was in," Cortez said. "The fighter needed to keep his guard up. Mayweather did nothing illegal."

[Ryannn]

"Sucker Punched"?. If the ref says "Lets Go" then you fight.

even if he did, ortiz was trying to apologize for the deliberate head butt and tried to give floyd a hug or something.

then floyd threw two punches before ortiz got back to "protecting himself"

it was legal, floyd did nothing wrong if you take "sportsmanship" out of the picture

but that was a sucker punch

[joesaiditstrue]

not even, cortez was a key part in this **** job, he lost control of the fight as well as didn't make sure or set things straight, he turned away and had a senior moment? i guess is what he will use as a defense....... this has shady **** written all over it.... i was in a room full of people who said the same thing, even floyd fans.....

floyd fans said **** about it being shady because they felt ripped off and cheated, same with everyone else.............

a rematch? with a rematch clause? aka easy money? dupe the people again, fleece them of their hard earned money again? yeah, there is the underbelly of fix here buddy, too much money involved for their not to be.........

.................

[Barry Halls]

sportsmanship/moral??? no. im no christian and this is boxing its a fight. i box, u foul me, guarantee ima get u back. what i do think is it was unnecessary and it messed up what could have been a good fight. i think it was unfair to me as a fan of boxing. but it was not at all unfair to ortiz. u foul intentionally, who are u to expect **** is cool after a hug and a kiss?

i think ortiz deserved what he got, but i don't get how an athlete could wan't to win that way.

Somewhere theres gotta be about the competitive aspect of it all. Not just money.

wtf does being christian have to do with purity of the game.
