Ortiz knock out loss in the controversial manner is a blessing in disguise for Ortiz.

It's a blessing in disguise for Ortiz because he's going to get another multi-million dollar payday.

Re. the fight itself, Ortiz finally looked competitive in the 4th round, it was no blessing to have the fight stopped there.

I don’t know what fight you guys were watching at no point did that fight looked competitive. He got frustrated because he missed with everything he threw and he was getting tried. He knew he was about to get humiliated so he give up.

This was a blessing in disguise for Ortiz to get knocked out in the controversial manner, because casual and Ortiz fans will have their defense mechanism prop them to think that Ortiz was still in the fight and that if it wasn't for the so called cheap shot, Ortiz would have won, making Ortiz still marketable to bank off these idiots, while everyone else knew Ortiz was getting walked down and was not landing that many clean shots as people thought he was. Ortiz was tiring, getting walked down, and not able to land many clean shots so out of frustration he headed butted Floyd. Ortiz was pretty much done at the fourth round and had no alternative then to play dirty to try and level the playing field his way cause Ortiz knew he was on his way of getting himself stopped.

This is another thing I thought about shortly after the fight after all the guests left.

The casual fans will discard this loss and garner sympathy for Ortiz and continue to support him. Sort of a shame, though...because any neutral boxing fan will know that Ortiz won't be as big as he originally had planned before the Maidana loss.

Ortiz will always be an entertaining fighter, and he will continue to get fights, but be outclassed by fighters who are able to weather the early storm.

And another thing that another poster said here, statistics don't lie. Ortiz gets opponents out of there early, not late.

They were just watching with their "Floyd Hate" goggles on.
