HBO's re-writing of Ortiz-Mayweather

[Weebler I]

They made it sound like Mayweather beat the crap out of Ortiz like Ortiz was done by the 4th round talking about a swelling eye. Mayweather then comes on claiming Victor's 'eyes' were closing over and that he saw blood and finished him off. What a misrepresentation.

The truth of course was that the 4th round was actually Ortiz's best round and rather than him looking tired he still was looking fresh and strong and coming more into the fight. It took a false embrace by FMJ followed by a cheap shot to stop him. Victor wasn't beaten legitimately, Cortez set him up and shame on HBO for backing that Mayweather lie.

Also they better send Larry to do the interviews post-Cotto, they already ruined the face-off with their soft touch, beta grovelling questions from Kellerman.

I agree to a point. Ortiz lost evey round IMO and I was bending over backwards trying to find him rounds. But he wasn't being bludgeoned into defeat or destroyed. He made an amatuer mistake and left his guard down and paid the price.

I disagree. Just look at the punch stats and you can see that it was a very accurate assessment. Also, Vic's eye was totally messed up.

Vic was getting busted up, there's no doubt about it.

Ummm...but Floyd was picking him apart..and his eye was getting bad. And the fact that his best flurry only actually landed 1 legit hit was the reason 4 the butt. Anything can happen..but FMJ was on his way to a stoppage b4 he gave Vic that 2 piece (no biscuit).

Sergio Martinez said it best when talking about his fight with Macklin "It's like chopping a tree, little by little, and I knew he would fall."

Mayweather was well on his way to destroying Ortiz, even if the round came to an end.

6th, 7th, 8th....

That ass whipping would have been the stuff legend's are made of.
