If the Tables Were Turned...

Sportsmanship does not win fights, why do you people constantly hammer him for "sportsmanship" when once you accept the fact that the combo was legal it is completely irrelevant?

cause it was cheap. and unnecessary.

Was it LEGAL tho?..

Now the headbutt was cheap and unnecessary...

Say everything last night from the foul to the KO was reversed, and Mayweather, out of frustration, blatantly cracks a cut open on Ortiz' lip with a HEADBUTT, and as Mayweather kept trying to excuse his action with hugs and kisses.

If Ortiz would've caught his ass in the same fashion, everyone (haters) would be satisfied, and would feel that he got was he was due for fouling in such manner. Stop being so ****in biased and a hater.

What Mayweather did was LEGAL, what Ortiz did was PATHETIC, and he tried to justify it in the post-fight interview saying that him being pushed back made it look intentional. He kept denying that he lost his cool and attacked Mayweather with a headbutt, and you still want to sympathize for this guy???..

bro, you know how it is. those are the politics of this forum.

Put it like this, if the tables were reversed, Mayweather would just have a LOST on his record, and *******s would be celebrating.

Yes it was legal, and if it was not, Floyd would have been DQ'D just like Roy Jones was. or even the REF would have taken points.

If they tables were turned all the people that are defending Floyd for that move would be screaming that Ortiz sucker punched him and it was bull****. It might have been a "legal" shot but it was still a cheap and dirty shot on Floyd's part.

truth right here. and trust me, i wouldn't be supporting victor if he won like that, i wouldn't support anyone who tried or ended up winning like that. but then again, this is floyd we're talking about, guy was never regarded as "classy" to begin with...it what it is, ortiz is dumb for headbutting him, trying to make up and not keeping his hands up.

Great point! The Mayweather haters would be praising Ortiz. They would say it was a good win for Ortiz!

I know man, I'm a victim to the hype tho. Can't help it sometimes.

The issue here is that SOME people (who are obviously Floyd haters) are harping more on Floyd's actions but not nearly as much on Ortiz's actions.

I believe Floyd should have been better, but NONE of this happens without Ortiz's intentionally headbutt. His action set the whole thing in motion.

That's what I find comical, from all these BOXING PURISTS who keep speaking on SPORTSMAN LIKE CONDUCT, yet totally dismiss Ortiz for his actions because he seemed genuine with his apologetic actions after that pathetic foul.

BoxingScene at it's finest!
