HBO's re-writing of Ortiz-Mayweather

[right_hand_lead]

I didn't like the way it ended either, but I almost don't care after Ortiz' ridiculous headbutt. Karma.

[Neglect]

I hate Mayweather fans. Just listen to them in this thread.

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.

come on man....he was far too lovey dovey for me, especially after he committed the foul . He wasn't doing anything in the entire fight. This is proven by the fact that he showed his frustrations by head butting in a boxing match.

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 thought he was taking the 4th until the headbutt but regardless it is annoying that HBO are pandering to Mayweather like that. The editing and scriptwriting of that part may as well have been written by one of the braindead flomos on here.

Ortiz was nowhere near being broke down or stopped, Mayweather took a cheap shot and HBO should acknowledge the negative publiciy and controversy it caused instead of painting that Mayweather put on an all-conquering performance stopping his spent opponent in the 4th - it wasn't like that.

Youre lying to yourself if you say it was close or Vic was winning on the scorecards buddy. And when I say stoppage i didnt mean KO, i mean the ref or doc at ringside would prob stop it at rd 8-9 when Ortiz's eye was swollen shut.

True the way they cut the footage makes it seem different now...but if you watched the fight..they ****-ted on Floyd for his quote-unquote legal cheap shot the rest of the ppv.

[Larry the boss]

notice how you rewrote history and left out the blatant jumping headbutt

[Atreyu Khalil]

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.

if he wasn't being broke down, then why was he sooo frustrated that he launched himself off the ground and into mayweather face?


Frustration: a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs

[any craic lad?]

Yes it was a cheap shot in response to dirty butt.Floyd ruined what could have been a very impressive stoppage for himself
