    To me the whole ending is all on Ortiz if the first punch leveled Ortiz OK he got completely caught off guard I could see some blame.

    But it was the second punch that leveled him and there was a delay as if Floyd was saying come on dude put your hands up I hit you once and I am coming for number two, and you know what he did he looked to the ref.

    No matter what Cortez did he wasn't saving Ortiz from getting decked with that second blow, Ortiz on the other hand he could have stopped by moving away, putting his hands up, falling down, taking a knee, or I don't know falling in to hug Floyd again since he seemed adept at that.

    I don't see how that is how a real fighter reacts, there was one guy who acted like a fighter on Saturday and it wasn't Victor Ortiz, to go further I don't know how that shows Ortiz would have made anything of that fight, it was about to get a lot worse for him more than likely Floyd was pissed after the head butt he was already in control of the fight and likely would have eviscerated Ortiz over the remainder of the fight.

      You guys heard Steward said "oh no" after the knockout. I like Steward as a commentator but when you hear him said that, the way he said it, it was like in disappointment on Floyd's action. Then on the last 24/7 episode, he was the opposite.

It's amazing how u think Floyd was so dominant when he wasn't. U say u recorded it ok. Look at the 4th round again and look at floyds face in the two flurries leading up to the head butt. He gottagged 4 out of 7 punches and they were good punches. Were they going to knock him out of course not but Floyd felt them and he was starting to realize this young cat came o fight.
        They want you to idolize Floyd for the performance. Was Floyd winning? Yes he was. Was he dominating him? No, Ortiz was in the fight, landing hard shots. less shots, but hard shots. I haven't heard anyone claim Ortiz was winning, we all acknowledge that floyd was ahead, but he was not dominating, period.

          Thats a good post
          I didnt see Floyd dominating
          he may have won 3 of the 4 rounds up til the KO (I had it 2-1 FLoyd and Ortiz winning the 4th) but just cause he was winning the rounds doesnt mean he was dominating
          they were close and competitive rounds
          Ortiz was in the fight plain and simple
          he was walking through Floyd punches
