ESPN's Rafael: "I Would Have Done The Same Thing Floyd Did"

[Gino Ros]

ESPN is supporting Mayweather on this one.

Dan Rafael on ESPNews: Victor got what he deserved. Floyd did nothing wrong. I would have done the same thing Floyd did.

The Sports Reporters: Question for Victor Ortiz. After you headbutted somebody, and the ref deducted a point and restarted the fight - what did you think was gonna happen? A nice chat over coffee? Protect yourself!

All credit to the fatman.

It's not Espn it's every boxing analyst in the business that isn't whipped by Top Rank. The truth is people that are not knowledgable about boxing think what Floyd did not was cheap, people that know what they are talking about know Ortiz is the one that messed up

[Steak]

I agree. Id be annoyed with Floyd if not for that headbutt. If you initiate a dirty fight, you better expect it to come back at you.

Cortez is the incompetenet idiot that we should blame.

first time heavy d has made sense

If you tried to INTENTIONALLY headbutt Julio Cesar Chavez, what would he do?

What would Marco Antonio Barrera do?

What would Roberto Duran do?

The concept of Fat Dan Rafael deciding on taking up exercise at a young age, and the odds of him choosing boxing. Then the odds of him firstly, being interested in it enough to keep doing the boxing training along with the gym work, coupled with the lifestyle change that goes with boxing. Then the odds of him being good enough to work his way through the amateur ranks, into the golden glove and/or Olympic teams and performing well. Followed by the odds of becoming a pro that performs at the highest tier of boxing, and then finally the odds that he, through some different turn of evens managed to find his way into the ring with Ortiz last night and being presented with the situation where Ortiz has his head turned with his hands down...

i really dont think the "well i would of done this.." argument holds much weight (unlike himself), but cheers for your input fatman dan.

[Mike Hawk]

i always thought he was a *******. i actually searched his twitter last night to see what he'd say about floyd and how horrible of a person he is but it was quite the opposite lol.

[Evil Abed]

Dan is correct.

to do wat floyd did is a natural reaction for most people, that was the most intentional headbutt i ever seen. all would be pissed
