can't even post a ***n link on here now? its on the ring website.
"I had no issues with that. I don't know why people are making a big deal about that. They like to do that. Basically what happened is that Joe called timeout after a blatant foul by Ortiz.
"He separated the fighters, takes Victor around the ring, takes a point away, goes to restart them. He turns to the timekeeper and says, 'Time in.' Victor decides to hug Floyd yet again.
"I'm not sure how many times he planned on hugging Floyd. Joe had called time in, Floyd waited until Joe had called time in, and then he punched him in the face. Which, I don't blame Floyd for.
"If a guy headbutts me, I'd want to punch him in the face too. I think that Floyd's not getting the credit that he deserves. Floyd didn't retaliate. He waited. He waited. He waited.
"Until the referee said 'Time in,' and then he let him have it. Good for Floyd. Good for Floyd. People ask me what was Joe doing. I checked with the timekeeper, and he said 'Joe turned to us, and he said, 'Time in,' and started the clock again.
"He asked if they had hit the clappers yet. Because the clappers happen with 10 seconds left on the clock. The timer said, 'Yes, eight seconds left.'
"And then, that's probably around the same time that Floyd threw the punch. But it was a second or two after Joe said 'Time in.'
"So the time keeper heard Joe say 'Time in,' Floyd heard him say 'Time in,' and HBO heard him say 'Time in.' So I'm very skeptical of Victor Ortiz claiming that he did not hear the referee say 'Time in.'"-- Keith Kizer, chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission -
when are *****s gonna understand????
the suckerpunch was legal, but it was scummy and classless... especially since ortiz was deducted a point for it alreadyComment

Technically, Cortez said "Let's go!" but it's the same damn thing. Ortiz went effing full ****** and went to give the huggy huggy.Comment

just found it interesting how the chairman of the commission went as far to commend floyd for it is all. i don't think that was a 1 point foul by ortiz either...2 point minimum. it seems to pretty much a consensus among boxing people that the head but was the most egregious foul anyone has seen in a long time.Comment
