Ortiz should have protected himself, but Cortez was kind of giving mixed signals when he looks and points outside the ring and asks if they're ready, as if he was making sure they were ready before he instructed them to begin fighting again.
That is clearly not true. Cortez is confirming with the outside ref if the time had restarted.
What if the tables were turned? What if Mayweather threw the 'butt and Ortiz landed the "cheap shot?" Mayweathers ass-kissers, I mean entourage, would have stormed the ring and brawled ala Judah vs Mayweather. Tonight was a sham and the only real loser here is boxing. Mayweather is toxic for the sport and it will be a better sport when he's gone.
To add to that, I liked Victor Ortiz. I liked his fights, his story and was optimistic about his career and even this fight when I started to think Mayweather's punches weren't having that much effect and he was starting to gain momentum. For a second, I thought I was about to witness the biggest upset in recent memory but the intentional headbutt....let me rephrase- the most illegal headbutt I have ever seen overshadowed anything positive I had gained to wards him and am just as disappointed in him as I am Mayweather.
Now, boxing needs Pacquiao vs Matweather more than ever. Boxing lost a lot of fans tonight.
obviously, this is what an arm-chair critic would say. get off your butt, get it the ring and get ortiz'd. see how far those hugs and kisses will take you.
oh you're butt-hurt. sorry. i wasn't really sure abt you being a fan of floyd and yet you've already shown it in this post, LOL!!
You can tell the people on here who just want to talk smack about Floyd and/or find something to criticize him on. Fact of the matter is that, it is clear as day and you hear it perfectly that Joe Cortez brought them together and said "LETS GO" . Joe Cortez was into the fight. Ortiz dropped the ball with the head butt. Bottomline is that Joe Cortez said "LETS GO". Should be end of debate
He landed 5 punches right before the head butt. Nothing you just said makes any sense.
watch the slow motion when they show the Headbutt...NOTHING WAS LANDING, he was hitting, Arms, Gloves and Shoulder...this is why he threw in the Headbutt...OUT OF FRUSTRATION!
