All Boxing experts {along with those without a vested interest in madness} agree that what Floyd did was legal and within the rules of boxing. Paulie Malinaggi laid it out best, if you're going to get down & dirty, then don't complain when your opponent joins you.
Ortiz's emotions were on overdrive for this fight and thanks to the constant whispering from his idol DLH, the expectations placed upon him were unrealistic, merciless and constant. That's why win or lose he was completely thrilled the event was over -- the pressure was off and he can go back to his normal routine.
The headbutt was INTENTIONAL and DELIBERATE -- born out of desperation to fulfill the otherworldly expectations of his trainer, his fans, his idol {DLH - who was grinning from ear to ear when the headbutt happened} and everyone who's looking for that one who can finally defeat Floyd. It was too much for Ortiz to carry in to a fight of this magnitude and it showed before, during and after. Ortiz just was not ready to face Floyd along with all the BS that goes with that opportunity.

Bad for Boxing?
- Boxing where promoters are stealing as much money as they can, from the one's they're supposed to represent
- Boxing where referee's are brought & sold
- Boxing where Judges are brought & sold
- Boxing where fighter's throw fights to cash out on the odds
- Boxing where back room deals are made to enrich promoters and sponsors
- Boxing where organized crime dictates who wins and loses a fight
Boxing has the worst history of any sport in the world and nothing that happened on Sept. 17th in Las Vegas, was out of the norm.

Arum should shut his f**kin mouth. Because according to reports, he's robbing Pacman blind. And his promotional company {Top Rank} staged fights that everyone knew were no contest, but were designed to give each of his fighter's their highest paydays at Pacman's expense {who he was and still is buttfu**in like a two-dollar whore}.
If anyone is bad for Boxing ...... it is and always has been, Bob Arum.
