The people who agree with Floyd are the same type of people who would take your shoes and go though your pockets instead of calling for help if they saw you laying on the street.

Wow, powerful but true statement

Here is where I think Ortiz has an arguement

http://www.leg.state.nv.us/nac/NAC-4...l#NAC467Sec682

Which came first in the match? That's also going to be looked at, which sort of negates his case.

Gettin head butted by accident in a fight is bad enough. When it's done on purpose (especially the way Ortiz did it), it's much worst than being hit by a fist wrapped in gauze inside of a glove;

If you've never been headbutted let somebody try it sometimes.

That's why you never see Hopkins, Casamayor or Holyfield apologizing after an intentional head-butt (cause they actin like they're not aware of what they're doing when they do it.

I think Floyd was gonna let it (the head-butt) slide at first, but then I think Floyd finally realized it wasn't by accident after Ortiz tried to apologize for a THIRD time, so it was on then. You can't let that type of stuff slide when you know the person did it on purpose.

If Ortiz was coming back and catching Floyd, he would not have got frustrated, threw the illegal head butt and the follow up punch to try and hurt Floyd. What idiotic moron can't see that?

Wrong an this statement proves your a part timer, A point had already been deducted, justice was served by Ref Cortez, at the moment this all went down we had another intentional foul occur, #14 on Nevadas list.

What about rule 11. Deliberately using the rabbit punch.
