Professional Boxers tweets on the fight

And... if Joe Cortez had pointed to a neutral corner and said lets go, what would he have meant?

Joe Cortez motioned the fighters together and said lets go, then looked off to the time keeper. He didn't say fight, he didn't say "lets fight" he didn't say "time in", he said "Lets go"

Thats a fairly vague instruction, and seems to me like an prompt to pay attention and follow his instructions, rather than an order to commence fighting, especially when both fighters responded to it by walking to the center of the ring with their hands down.

you sir win the internet. great point.

[ANT_P1989]

I guess it's "unsportsmanlike" to punch an opponent after the ref says "Let's Go!"? And don't sit there like a dumb f u c k and act like you don't know what the ref meant by "Let's Go!". F*g ass haters gonna keep hatin til Floyd is in the grave, and even then, y'all STILL won't appreciate him....fake ass boxing fans

[BoZz]

I hope we never see any of these fighters tap gloves, or hug again.

The moment they do,

their point is invalid.

says the ******* stop crying b1tch

Please. Go watch the video, he says 'let's go' and signals time in. It's cool if you don't think what Floyd did was sporting, but cut the ****, bro, it's tiring. It meant one thing and one thing only, you know that and so does everybody else.

Jim Lampley said it was legal & unsportmanlike BUT YOU HAVE TO PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES.

When the ref says fight. It doesn't matter if he looks away. The fighters were instructed to fight not hug.

Anthonydirrell it's not ok for a champion to do something like that if @FloydMayweather would have did That it would have been all bad but since Vic did

2 B honest the butt was wrong and the last right hand punch that Floyd threw was alittle much... But u have to protect yourself at all times

Quote:
It can be classless, it can be unsportmanike, even opportunistic, but unforunately, its still legal. Would I pull a mayweather? No. But would I pull an Ortiz and be THAT close to a fighter even IF he was saying sorry? No. Id keep arms length away.

By the way the ending wasnt dirty protect yourself at all times Victor was looking for an excuse out and he found it. STOP HATING!

Audley Harrison
Quote:
That was warming into a great fight. Shame, but Victor was naive to drop his hands like that, protect yourself at all times is the rules.

I probably would have hit with the left hook but not with the follow right. Got 2 keep protected at all times but try 2 keep sportsmanship.

I guess the pudgy midgets sitting in internet cafes know better than these pro boxers.

"Let's go" combined with the motion of waving the fighters together? That is why the fighters approached each other. They understood the instruction.

Keith Kizer was sitting ringside and observed EVERYTHING.

Cortez' mistake was in taking his eyes off the fighters, but that doesn't make a material difference in the fighters' actions. it merely made Cortez seem like he didn't have control.

*****s need to accept that Fraud "Feather-fisted Sucker Puncher" Gayweather is nothing but a cheater.

To be fair, most of those opinions are from American boxers.

he would talking so much ish and complaing about the whole thing and you fooken know it but since it didnt happen to him he is all good with it
