Mayweather won even before they entered the ring...

[Dudley]

First thoughts are. Wow. not for the fight, not for the brilliance, but for how it ended. No one ever could have guessed it would have ended like that.

After pulling myself together and realizing what happened. I took a look back.

The fight completely changed 1:40 into the 3rd round with a subtle gesture. Nope...All the trash talk all, the choking, the pressure being on the world stage, something snapped in Ortiz. Nope. A head-shake. Nope. And at that moment Ortiz was not fighting to win, he was fighting to prove he belonged.

Seconds after that Ortiz started to fight, not aggressive, but angry. It all came to a head in the forth, literally and figuratively. He lost control every-time Mayweather would gesture to him your not hurting me, (nope) not even close. Was a truth or not, no one will know, but it broke something in Ortiz at that level and forced the error.

He wanted to hurt him with anything he had. If he didn't have a mouth guard he would have bit him. That's when the wheels fell off.

I've herd it before, i'm not sure where it stacks in the relevance of the rules and game planning for a fight. But it's common knowledge you should never fight angry. Wastes too much energy with unfocused passion, and that was Ortiz's undoing.

There is a fine line between passion and anger, Ortiz found where, but Mayweather knew.

Thoughts?

Great post - as a fighter (am), it's true you should not fight angry. Takes too much mental energy and results in negative physical consequences. You must be focused, relaxed as if you just woke up... can't explain it.

Yep and he took them 2 punches like he felt it subconsciously he deserved them, thats why the smiling he didn't know how to act.

Mayweather knew Ortiz was mentally weak, he fought a mental game before and in the ring. Ortiz didn't fight back or defend himself after the first punch because he was confused by everything inside and out the ring.

I turned to my girlfriend 30 seconds into round 3 and said 'Floyd has worked him out, its going to be a shut out from now on'.

I noticed the change then, Floyd started hitting the counter left hooks, moving away at the right times and using the shouldner roll more effectly, basically by the start of round 3 I think Floyd had Ortiz's timing and you could see Ortiz getting more and more frustrated, leading to the headbutt and his KO.

You could see the anger ripple in his face before he Koed Ortiz. I think he was pissed that Ortiz cut him that bad...

Honestly when you think about it... i would have thrown those two punches also... dude smashed his face into mine making me bleed i would be pissed no doubt!

yep..Ortiz lost it Tyson style..he snapped and realized he couldnt hit floyd enough to hurt him and he was the one getting hurt..he lost it,snapped and spassed out..and thats when floyd layed his ass out..........

Yeah. It almost felt like Ortiz realized he lost it after he butted 'em. He tried to hard to apologize to Floyd.

But i think even if the fight went on Floyd would have picked him apart. The black eye was before the KO. Floyd was looking for a KO for sure. the best counter was when ortiz was shooting his jab and then floyd countered hard with a right hand after the forth jab. Ortize knew he was in way over his head early... imo.
