Danny Garcia "I was going to tell Victor to headbutt him or low blow him anyway"

I think its EQUALY disturbing that Mayweather had EVERY intention of throwing elbows in the fight.
I think Garcia had a great fight plan, what they should do now is go after Berto again, then continue beating top ranked fighters.

Danny Garcia warned referee Joe Cortez that his fighter, Victor Ortiz, would "throw a low blow or a head butt" if they felt it was necessary in retaliation for a perceived practice of dirty fighting from Floyd Mayweather Jr., the trainer told ******.com on Thursday.
Ortiz (29-3-2, 22 KOs) was dethroned as WBC welterweight titleholder by fourth round knockout against Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs), who took advantage of an opening when Ortiz's repeated attempts to apologize for headbutting left him unprotected on Sept. 17.
With Cortez nearby, Ortiz failed to protect himself when Mayweather nailed him first with a jarring left hook and then a powerful, straight right hand that sent Ortiz sprawling to his back.
Ortiz rolled over and tried to get up, but did not rise in time to beat Cortez's 10-count. At the time of the finishing blow, Ortiz's hands were down at his sides after attempting to apologize -- in the form of a hug -- to Mayweather for a headbutt.
Garcia and Ortiz felt that the fighter was unjustly beaten, and Garcia shared his thoughts about the fight with ******.com below.
******.com: You don't think that Mayweather was on his way to winning the fight?
DG: I still think that we can beat him and that we were going to beat him. The fight was pretty even and it was going the way that I expected.
******.com: How do you mean?
DG: I expected the first four or five rounds that we were probably going to be losing the fight for a few rounds. I knew that. But we were doing better than I thought.
I knew that after the fifth or sixth round, that Victor was going to fight harder and harder and that he was going to start coming on and that we were going to put him down.
******.com: What are your thoughts on the intentional headbutt?
DG: Yeah, well, he headbutted him because I told Joe Cortez right before the fight in the dressing room that might happen.
******.com: That Victor would headbutt him?
DG: Well, I told him that, "You're a good referee, you have a lot of experience, and I really like the way that you do your job. But please, please keep in mind that Floyd Mayweather throws a lot with the elbows."
I told him that I don't want a dirty fight, because Victor's going to fight a good clean fight. But I told him, "if you don't take a point from Floyd or something and control his elbows and stop him from fighting dirty, then Victor's going to do something wrong too."
******.com: You told Cortez that?
DG: I told him that Victor is going to throw a low blow or a headbutt. I told him that, yes, in front of Victor. Within the first four rounds, Victor was getting hit with elbows two or three times good in the mouth.
******.com: So you didn't tell Ortiz to headbutt Mayweather in the fourth round, did you?
DG: No, I didn't tell him to do that. But I was going to tell him to do that in the next round, or maybe in the sixth, seventh or eighth round if Mayweather was still continuing to use his elbows.
I was going to tell Victor to do maybe a low blow or to hit him, because that way he can know that we can be dirty too. But at the time, Victor, he headbutted Mayweather on his own, yes.
A fresh view compared to those Boxingscene articles "When Victor Ortiz went over to apologize, he got blasted with a left right combination and went down for the count". Say the truth, it was the third damn time he offered Floyd a hug/dab. The first two times Mayweather accepted them.

This **** is ridiculous. I just hope that all the people who were defending Ortiz, and shunning Mayweather for the way he won can shut da ****k up now. Ortiz got what he deserved, and Floyd did what he should have done. Ortiz intended to cheat before the fight even started. It was hilarious watching him get clocked by Mayweather and go down with a ****** look on his face.

Team Ortiz just gets worse and worse by the day. What a dirty team. I would never pay $$$ to see him fight.
