Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Mayweather a Poor Sport, But Shot Was Legal

[amayseng]

Ortiz knew he had ****ed up. That's why he tried to kiss Floyd and give him a hug. Ortiz got what he had coming to him. What if he had opened a huge cut on Floyd with that headbutt bull****?? I really don't know what all the fuss is about....Floyd was going to knock his a** out in seven or eight anyway. He was walking Ortiz down and clipping him with lead right hands. Ortiz tried to headbutt Floyd because Floyd was taking it to him and he panicked. We already know from the Maidana fight that Ortiz is immature. Beating Berto didn't change that and his attempted headbutt proves it.

So u can predict fights? Why fight then?

Ortiz landed a good combo sending Floyd into the ropes

the slow mo is on YouTube.

floyd legs even dipped.

Ortiz won rounds 2,4


Really. Go rewatch the fight.

Roach sees what he wants to see. After seeing that KO Manny knows he can't be a nice guy in the ring against Floyd.

Manny would have hugged and glove tapped that kid ALLLLLL night.

LMAO, Manny wouldn't of headbutted Floyd to begin with and Manny's no inexperienced fighter that would of put himself in that type of situation!

[THE TALK OF TX]

Guys who carry themselves a certain way or those with a certain complexion? Get the **** outta here with that dude. You know what it really is. It's not a coincident that all the fighters he has a problem with are African American.

Oh yeh I forgot it's always "racism!!!". It could never be that the guy is an actual douchebag right? I mean if you're black you get a free pass to act like an a$$hole? **** that noise.

[Sugar Q]

When a dude like "The Breadman" says that Floyd was right you gotta rock with that cause Bread knows his stuff but he's usually pro-Manny.

Actually....official scorecards show Floyd up two rounds to one after the third and he was going to get the fourth round as well, even without the deduction for the headbutt. OH..a quick question for you??? If Floyd's legs dipped....why did Ortiz feel the need to throw that huge ****in' head of his at Floyd? If you saw his legs dip, then I'm sure Ortiz did.

This is complete and utter bull****.

Its not Mayweather's job or obligation to accommodate boxers who are in over their head and resort to sparring niceties as a form of getting him to slow down on a beating.

Why in some minds did Mayweather have to stand their continuing to make out with Ortiz in the middle of a championship boxing match?

Next, Ortiz would have started asking for advice on how to do better during the fight, and Mayweather naysayers would have complained that Floyd should have at least offered some advice to the young lion.

No, its PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES for a reason. A boxing match is not the place for apologies or ceremonial gestures. Ortiz could have done all that after the fight. Ortiz should have not apologized for doing what he had to do to win. People get headbutted all the time. People get low blowed all the time. You don't see the offender running over to kowtow to the offended DURING the match. Maybe a glove touch at best but this new fad of touching gloves like a match where the goal is to hurt the other man is ridiculous. It totally takes the steam out of any match because you can't believe that the fighters have bad intentions if they are busy playing patty cake and hugging each other.

Its a sign of desperation, and once fighters begin that sparring **** in matches where the fans paid for tickets and PPV's to see two men leave it all in the ring the fans have a strong case for feeling cheated.

Sportsmanship does not mean that boxers are supposed to "hug it out" in the 4th round of a fight where both men claimed that they were going to beat each other unconscious. Sportsmanship in boxing has to do with not headbutting or throwing low blows INTENTIONALLY. Sportsmanship in boxing has to do with not loading your gloves or taking illegal PEDs.

In fact, it should become a new rule that boxers who attempt to continuously touch gloves can have a point deducted .. simply because they are putting themselves in a vulnerable position and then later complaining when their opponent doesn't see continuous glove touching or hugging as necessary.

How many times did Gatti try complaining to the ref during Gatti/Ward I?

How many times did Mosley try to touch 'em up with Margarito?

How many times did Ortiz try to "hug it out" with Berto?

Its when boxers realize that they are out of their league that the DEMOTE THEMSELVES to sparring partners against Floyd. They know that they are having trouble executing their gameplan, and when that happens 1 of 3 things happen:

1 - they complain to the ref as if a time out has been called

2 - they try to touch gloves every time an exchange happens

3 - they foul to stall for time to figure things out or turn the tide

Last night, Ortiz pulled a #3 and then wouldn't let it go even after Floyd touched gloves with him. Ortiz had to clearly see that after he hugged & kissed Floyd that Floyd nodded, put his gloves up, flinched as if he thought Ortiz was going to throw something and then let his own hands go.

There is no fault there in terms of rules or sportsmanship. All the so-called controversy is coming from unhappy fans of other fighters who wanted to see more from Ortiz.

Floyd handled Ortiz amazingly and he handled Merchant beautifully.

Great night of fights.

The question everybody is left thinking is "Who is next for Floyd?"

People are already asking that. They want to know what's next for boxing's MVP.

Hate it or love it ... that's exactly what Mayweather is.

The thing about haterz is, they gonna hate. No matter who Mayweather beats haterz will never be satisfied. People like you pop a lot of **** online but you back a fighter that would rather make BS excuses than take a test and fight. It really says a lot about Manny fans. By the way, I'd like a signed contract not a BS video. Im hoping Floyd fights Martinez because Manny never will. Manny wont even fight Ortiz or Berto even after they loss, LMAO!!!

Mayweather has been running scared of Pacman for three years now and accused him of being on performance enhancing drugs because he is so scared of him. Maynever completely avoids pacman after pac puts hatton to sleep and accuses him of being on drugs. Maynever tries to steal pacman's shine by announcing a meaningless fight against a lightweight Juan Manuel Marquez. Maynever tries to out do pacman by hoping to ko Marquez but that did not happen.Ugly boy Maynever takes a 16 month lay-off and has symptoms of roid rage withdrawal by beating up security guards and women and beating up his money. Then maynever comes back after a 16 month layoff and fights another Mexican on a Mexican holiday because he knows that Mexicans make the biggest ppv cards so they stack the bottom up with Mexicans. In between that he has his best win at welter against the highly faded 39 year old Mosley, not really impressed. Your a Maynever fan but your calls for a Maynever Martinez fight will go unheard because your hero ugly boy maynever is a P****!!!!!!!!
