Comments Thread For: Garcia Responds: Never Told Ortiz to Headbutt Mayweather

[codey]

Garcia and his pupil were entering the biggest fight of there career. why would they mess that up with dirty tactics? Ortiz is a fool for falsifying the whole story.

He needs to grow the f@#$ up and embrace his mistakes like a man.

I think it was all Ortiz decision to headbutt. I don't buy the 16 elbows. I think he was just having a hard time hitting Mayweather and fouled out of frustration.

Ortiz has proven time and time again he's a liar.

Yeah I don't know what to believe. Post-fight he said accident. Then in another interview he said he was trying to break Floyd's nose and he would do it again. Now his trainer told him to do it. He may be having trouble coping with the way that night played out.

Like someone in the other thread about this said, they were probably telling Ortiz to use his head, as in be smart, and Ortiz is such an idiot that he thought that meant to headbutt Mayweather. Now THAT would be funny.

Lmao! Think like Bernard Hopkins.

During a recent sit down with Big Boy’s Neighborhood on Power 106, former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz discussed a myriad of topics related to his personal and professional career.

As the interview continued, Ortiz discussed his memorable bout with Floyd Mayweather in September of 2011.

In that contest, Ortiz infamously head butted Mayweather along the ropes in the fourth round, causing him to lose a point from referee Joe Cortez.

Moments later, after the action had been called back into play, Ortiz attempted to make peace with Mayweather by giving him an embrace. Mayweather accepted, only to catch an unsuspecting Ortiz with a left-right combination that floored him and ended the fight.

Ortiz is always full of sh.t every time he opens his mouth. If his eye was closing it was because of those straight right hands that Mayweather was nailing him with. I saw tha fight several times and not once did I see Mayweather hit him wth an elbow. Mayweather used his forearm to push Ortiz away, and that is not illegal nor is it any different that a fighter using his gloves to push someone away. Also, if my opponent hit me with 16 elbows like Ortiz claims, I damn sure wouldn't apologize for hitting him with a headbutt and then leave my hands down so that he could hit me at will.
