Protect yourself at all times. Quite frankly Victor Ortiz' behavior last night was immature and idiotic. He hugged and they touched gloves 3 or 4 times, Cortez said "Time in! Lets go!" Floyd raised his hands to protect himself, while Ortiz is still standing there dumbfounded. Bro you're in a Professional boxer in an elite status championship fight and you're standing in front of your opponent with your hands down? C'mon Victor!! What did he expect, a kiss?! He got dirty, really dirty with those headbutts especially the last one obviously, that was truely the worst headbutt I've seen done in a boxing ring. And ortiz expects Floyd to take it easy on him. Floyd behaved like a world class professional boxer and grown man should behave. My thoughts on the actual boxing match? I saw Ortiz getting stopped anyway within 6 or 7 rounds. Floyd established the jab and the right hand perfectly, very early on. He maintained and controlled distance perfectly. His range was on point. If anyone thought Ortiz had a chance after what went down in the first 4, they're insane and do not know the science of this sport at all. Floyd fought at close range and was demolishing Ortiz tactically and technically, early in the 4th I haven't seen Floyd open up like that in years, literally. Sadly it ended the way it did, in controversy. But we all know what was coming. Just my two cents.
