Maybe, but check the replays. Cortez was looking towards the ring corner and not having his eyes on the action. He did become the deciding factor. The situation was very heated up after the intentional headbutt and the deduction was completely justified btw. Technically Floyd was right to re-engage and throw punches, but of course it looked very brutal. Victor shoulda just held his gloves up. But Cortez... man, where was he with his eyes...? Not controlling the situation at all. VERY bad ref'ing in a situation that needed to be resolved better.
Mayweather....b*tch chump move. Look at the video, Cortez is looking "away", not focused on the fighters. Ortiz looks to Cortez for instruction and captain 106th and park unleashes his inner cheat. Straight chump move.
What kind of bull**** fight is this Joe Cortez needs to be fired or something how does he take points away from Ortiz without warning him first and then allows mayweather to hit him without him resuming the fight and still accepts it.
He didn't warn him because the foul was clearly intentional. I think Ortiz's corner and trainer told him to headbutt.
Ortiz got dropped by bigger hammers what Floyd hit him with. I think that was Ortiz's opportunity to quit the fight. Dude walked in the center of the ring with his hands down? And when he got hit the first time he still kept his hands down? How is that a cheap shot if Mayweather was standing right in front of him? I'm sure Ortiz could of atleast evaded the punches or grabbed Floyd. Oritz wasn't ready.
Even if you think Ortiz was dumb for not protecting himself Mayweather is just as dumb if he thinks that KO impressed anyone. I saw Mayweather take repeated lead left hands (what do you think Pacquiao will do?) get bullied to the ropes and roughed up and then find a way to win off of a cheap shot.
OOOH people will be so damned impressed with Mayweather now cause Cotto never gets people to the ropes, and Pacquiao doesn't know how to throw a left hand at all. Please people... Mayweather has nothing and tonight proved it.
That whole sequence was weird. first the intentional head butt by ortiz, then he quickly apologizes and tries to makeout with floyd or idek wtf that was O.o all i know is that mayweather was real pissed that he caught a head to the teeth haha ****en ortiz got what he deserved but then he got up all smiling and happy after the fight like he didn't just get knocked out uuggllyy
