Comments Thread For: Victor Ortiz: Joe Cortez Said Break, I Was Fouled

[saguirre057]

People think that because Mayweather doesn't KO guys from one punch that he doesn't have power and forget that before he was a welter he had KO most of his opponents and KO'd Hatton with a left hook, then when they get in the ring they realize that he does have power and Ortiz, who was 164 btw felt Floyd's power tonight and that's why he was going backwards. Lesson learned: Floyd can punch...

an unexpected sucka punch is not considered KO cuz he wouldnt have done that if it wasnt a sucka punch; cheap ass way to win for self-proclaimed G.O.A.T.; that tinto lost more fans for that ***** move yesterday

You guys are dumb. Ortiz says Mayweather doesn't have a stiff right, okay but take a shot when you're not looking and unprepared rather than expecting it and tell me which hurts more. Obviously you guys don't box.

Ortiz is a punk. Thank you Floyd for making him a nobody again.

A nobody? Lol doubt it. Mayweather just gave Ortiz a ton of fans. Get used to seeing Ortiz on PPV

I have little doubt this will be changed to a No-contest. I have no idea why nobody touched on it, but Joe Cortez never called time in. He motioned them together, looked towards the time keeper, at which point Floyd sucker punched Ortiz.

Gesturing the fighters together does not indicate the action is to resume, it indicates the fighters are suppose to come together, which is what Ortiz did.

Either way, it was disgusting. The first hook, okay. You got even, I can understand that. Foul for foul, but then you took it up a notch, saw that Ortiz was unaware of your intention to resume the action, and uncorked a right hand on a man who was not only unprepared, but not even looking at you.

That is not only disgusting, but dangerous.

Wow. Couldn't have said it better myself. Been saying this since last night. The first shot was okay but the second once was cheap. I also never saw the ref call time in. This should be changed for sure and we should have an immediate rematch with a new ref and non PPV. I've been wondering how Cortez called a knockdown he didn't see. For all he knows Mayweather could have head butted him.

Im sure if i got two undefended punches on floyd he'd be seing stars aswell look at the yanks trying to say floyd has power what planet are you on ? ask dirrel how much undefended shots hurt they can cause serious serious injury.

Floyd used his elbow on ortiz so Ortiz retaliated with a headbutt cortez lost control and comunication of the fight and fighters floyd knew what he was doing he came in close took a little look up and right there you can clearly see his intentions and then on the break cheap shot no defending those actions this kind of **** makes me want to to turn away from boxing why can it never just go normaly no early stoppage no bad score cards no blatent cheating and racism no bad refereing its getting werse

HELLS NAW!!!!!! The ref never said fight, or raised his hand to commence fighting which is what's suppose to happen when a point is taken, so that's hitting on the break which is an automatic disqualification and loss to Mayweather. That fool was getting hit and felt it, and he knew he was gonna lose. Read the rules people!!!!!

watch the replay dude. cortez clearly re-engaged the action.

[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.

[QADASHBANYAH]

sucka punch also known as a ***** punch.

whatever you wanna call it, but can anyone beat him????

Lol

why you mad tho????

[tibbar]

Any way you slice it it did look like sucker punch.

So, you can talk semantics but it looks like a sucker punch/combo and for all intents and purposes it IS a sucker punch. One guy wasn't looking and the other whacked him = sucker punch.

Ortiz could have been thrown out for the headbutt though.

Disappointing end, especially to a Mayweather fight. He gets less slack than most fighters for stuff like this because he fights once every year-and-a-half.

he was getting hit? what the hell fight you were watching. by the time of the stoppage floyd landed 70 punches to ortiz's 20. how bout your boy ortiz was getting hit and felt it and with no answers to floyds accuracy he fights dirty by head butting him. he got what he deserved for fighting dirty and thats get put on his ass. he should have kept his hands up.
