Comments Thread For: Mayweather Knocks Out Ortiz, Controversial Ending

[QADASHBANYAH]

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 ****** Boy Floyd. Ortiz is somewhat bizarre. The hero of the night is Larry Merchant. I will never spend another dollar watching GBF.

LOL OF COURSE AN 80 YEAR OLD MAN STOOD UP TO HIM, HE KNOWS FLOYD ISNT GOING TO HIT HIM, BUT HE WISHES FLOYD WOULD THOUGH SO HIS OLD ASS CAN GET PAID LOL.

LARRY MERCHANT STARTED ON FLOYD RIGHT OFF THE BAT, LOOK HOW EASY HE WAS ON VICTORS INTENTIONAL HEADBUTT. THE **** WAS SIMPLY INTENTIONAL....

But as FLOYD TOLD YA'LL MORONS ON FACEOFF.

X8 SIMPLE WORDS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLEAR.

YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, YOU'S GOTS TA PAY"

HELL FLOYD WAS IN HIS CHEST WITH A GODDAMN HIGH GUARD FOR ****S AND GIGGLES. LOL

I agree. I can't stand Mayweather, but after watching Ortiz-Berto and now Mayweather-Ortiz, I have to admit that Mayweather's a damn good fighter. Ortiz's camp complained about Floyd's elbows, but clearly Ortiz was going to have to fight dirty to get Mayweather's defense to open up to the point where Ortiz could've landed the big one.

Ortiz ruined my night for me by being so amateurish and apologetic. Kissing and hugging Mayweather was weird. He shouldn't have apologized, he should've just touched gloves and come out fighting. He's the one who should've taken the "cheap" shot. He had to get Mayweather angry and throw caution to the wind.

I can't stand Mayweather, but I don't blame him. Victor was being dirty (for which I think he owes no apology; it was the only way that he was going to win the fight), and Mayweather wasn't.

Yea, despite the cheating of Floyd, its only over-shadowed by Ortiz being such an incredible dumb ass.

I seriously hate Ortiz now. I hate that simpleton. The guy is just dumb in everything he does, how he fights, how he talks, even his reaction to being sucker punched. Just a pure dumb ass.

Money May is a different kinda SUPER HERO! Like Jim Lampley said a Defensive Magician... As Dan Rafael said one of the greatest counter punchers ever... Ortiz was getting his ass taxed for 4 rounds and out of confusion and sheer frustration he head butted Money May, than after COrtez took a point away, Victoria started playing kissy face and huggy huggy with Floyd.. Oh and NEWSFLASH you Floyd Haters when a ref says FIGHT that means ur supposed to PRTOECT URSELF AT ALL TIMES... so after instructions for Cortez to FIGHT, well we all know what happened...SLeepy Time for Victoria...zzzzzzzzz...Regardless, it was just a matter of time for the fight to get stopped, Floyd was landing punches with his right hand AT WILL all night long, I think at one point I counted 4 to 5 in a row and counter punching beautifully...So funny Danny Garcia asking the ref to watch for Floyd's elbows but it was his own pupil who was the dirty fighter... LOL... Karma is a *****...And LArry MErchant you got what you deserved , Floyd is a man first and you need to respect him and other fighters by commending them, not always saying what they did wrong in a fight.. Enuff is Enuff already...If coming back from a 16 month lay off to fight a bigger, stronger and faster boxer isnt PROOF that indeed he is a Future Hall of Famer, I dont know what is...Everyone saw he still has the fire, the talent and the boxing intellegence to beat anyone set forth him.. Good Bye and God Bless....

I agree with you. Mayweather proved to me that he may be the best defensive boxer of all time. He's certainly a Future Hall of Famer. When he opened up with combinations, I thought that if this guy did this for his whole career, showing his speed of hands, he was almost Sugar Ray Leonard-like. At the same time, I marvel that he's been winning fights without having to open himself up.

Whatever you want to say about Mayweather, he was smart enough and quick enough to hit Ortiz with the combination. He took advantage of "Victoria" apologizing and leaving himself open for those shots.

I didn't like it. I thought that once Ortiz realized that Mayweather couldn't hurt him, and if he was willing to taste leather in order to pin Mayweather into the corner, it would've become an interesting fight.

But Ortiz stole it from us by turning into a simpering baby asking for Floyd's forgiveness (after trying to take his head off) and hugging and kissing Floyd. He wasn't "Vicious" Victor Ortiz. He was acting like a guy who put a move on a girl and got rejected, and then tries to hug and kiss his way back in until she slaps him in the face.

[rick3262]

Agreed.

Floyd was performing surgery on Victor and probably could have had him out of there by the tenth or sooner.

Floyd was on the way to silencing 99.8% of his critics with no questions asked.

But like you said, the ending raised more questions.

Floyd was cut in the mouth, though. Ortiz was leading with his head. Despite the point deduction, Floyd had no way of knowing whether Ortiz was going to do it again. Floyd took him out the quickest way possible. I would've loved to have seen Ortiz with the sucker punch, knocking Mayweather on his butt.

Floyd came to win.
Ortiz came for acceptance.

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.

[zipped]

Floyd is a little ***** ******. **** you piece of ****.

I know how you meant that, but ****** means ignorant person like you dumb-azz. You remind me of one of those lazy azz white hillbilly ****** crackers sittin on the back porch of a shack chewin some nasty azz snuff or tobaccki with his own sister sittin on his root. Get a life you albino cracker or is you a mexican chilli-bean?.

[Lac'em up]

Ortiz is such a dumb ass for trying to apologize and then goes and kisses Mayweather!!! This just makes me believe more and more that all this is staged and boxing is just one big circus now days. We all need to grab our balls tightly and never pay for another fight again.

[drudolphreese]

the ref said lets go. victor wanted to hug after HE BLATANTLY FOULED FLOYD. i guess if vicor wanted to hug the rest of the fight floyd souldnt have hit him all night. floyd did nothing wrong. THE REF SAID LETS GO. PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES.

[Clint650]

Vic was getting picked apart from the opening bell. He looked clueless at times. the only success he had was when he was able to put Floyd's back against the rope and hooked over his guard. Still the headbutt was the most blatant foul i have seen since Zab's lowblow against Floyd, and the level of Victor's frustratrion resembled Tyson / Holyfield for how purposeful Ortiz's act was. Floyd did everything he said he was going to do but he won't get Merchant's love until he beats Pac. Do we really need a rematch with Victor? He was so outclassed. i guess were going to start saying he sucks now right boxing scene?
