Mayweather/Ortiz- Did Floyd do anything wrong?
September 18th, 2011
By Dennis McCarthy: Photo credit: Naoki Fakuda – Early this morning, Floyd won a very easy, but in some people’s mind, a very questionable 4th round stoppage over younger challenger Victor Ortiz.
Victor immediately apologized, which Floyd accepted, which was nice. The ref then indicated the two fighters to once again engage, Victor then apologizes again, in which both fighters touched gloves. Why Ortiz then felt to try and cuddle Mayweather and apologize for a third time is beyond me. This is a 36 minute fight at most. What boxing fans (most of whom have shelved out a small fortune to watch) don’t want to see, is to spend half the fight watching two men become friends. Mayweather had every right, as the fight was restarted, to throw a punch or two, or as many as he liked. Ortiz for some bizarre reason kept his hands low, and despite receiving one punch from Mayweather, still seemed reluctant to try and defend himself in any way from a future bombardment, which he then received and went down.
I Kind of got the impression that Ortiz gave up, maybe that was just me, but I got that impression from watching Ortiz try half hardheartedly to get up, smiles all over his face. Boxers nowadays seem to be happy to lose as long as they can save a bit of face (Kermit Cintron for one).
A rematch nowadays is pointless, as Ortiz showed in those 4 rounds that he is not in Floyd’s league.
The highlight of my night, however came after the fight, when Mayweather finally got tired of interviewer’s Larry Merchant’s constant negativity towards him, and the two men then squared up (looking slightly staged on Merchant’s part). Merchant has always grated me with his depressingly boring voice and the fact he looks like he’s going to keel over at any stage of an interview.
Now we wait. As soon as Pacquiao has finished fighting Marquez for the 75th time. These two surely have to get in on now. As time goes on, with both fighters starting to lose a yard of pace, this will surely affect Pacquiao more as he needs to constantly throw punches from the first bell until the final. Take away his ability to do this, and you take away his one chance of beating the defensive genius that is Floyd Mayweather.

donnieb…and go f**k yourself too. You disrespectful son of a b1tch. f**k you and your familia.
Oh and that boxer you talked about would probably be pryor thats to answer your dumb question. Now thats common knowledge if you follow boxing, so if its anyone else then we obviously have different views on boxing so there’d be no point in EVER talking boxing with you. Me personally? I prefer the ignorant you, tailored made for me. You’ve been served for the umpteenth tiem so i’m out on this blog.
@ Hears the idiot
Listen son, you start running your mouth, you’ll get clubbered end of story. No need to wish death on know one over boxing. Like i said your card is easy to pull, pinoy nurses saying see you in hell?? Where dey do dat at?? lol. When you start that racial nonsense you’ll get check hooked and spanked cause you deserve it. Don’t test me served and volleyed you all over the blog and its a shame you couldn’t keep with the spirit of the exchange and had to get emotional, religious and damn rite stupid in your responses. Oh well guess some of us are just born filipino weak lol
I’m too sensitive? LOL. Remember this…YOU were the one who asked for me just a couple days ago.
And when I targeted you, you couldn’t get me off your mind. That’s why you keep responding to me, EVEN WHEN I’M NOT TALKING TO YOU. LMFAO!!!!
Now…
Just to prove you don’t know boxing:
There were two boxers in the 80s who were well known for their s p e e d, agility, endurance, and power that people said would take Sugar Ray Leonard down. One of them SRL fought, the other he didn’t fight. Name both fighters.
Oh and btw…where’s that Top Ten List? LOL
@hears the idiot
Stop getting emotional, yes don’t test me said some hurtful stuff to you, but get over it, its a blog. You get too sensitive when your card gets pulled. Next time don’t run your mouth, you fail to realise your an easy target. lol
Thats what I thought Dont Test Me…
SCARED.
Your mother and father are in a hospital right now getting treated by Pinoy Nurses. Life line is ticking….
They said, “See you in hell.”
If PBF action was not sportsmanlike, what do you call Ortiz’s head butts, part of the game. When Cortez brought the fighters to the middle of the ring, signalled by bringing his palms together then said “Lets go” do you think he was telling the fighters, to hug and kiss. I missed that part of the rules. Did the fans pay to see a boxing match or a hugging match. One thing I know for certain nothing Floyd di was outside the rules. Notice no one from the boxing commission has said anything. Only ignorant fans keep spewing garbage.
Oooo, he’s got black homiez.
LMAO.
Ok ‘Dawg’.
I left my number with your mom. She said you weren’t home from Piano lessons yet.
LMAO.
@Don’t Test Me Bro…
You gonna “cut my throat like a Jap bayonet”? Is that a threat you lil b1tch azz ni**a?
I’m challenging you in front of everyone. Now let’s see who’s gonna b1tch out.
You think you’re a tough guy aren’t you. Now let’s see if you have the balls to let me contact you and make this REAL. F**k a keyboard b1tch. Let’s meet face to face and let’s see how much tough you got in ya. DAWG.
And I hope you’re black. Cuz I got some of my black homiez who’s gonna enjoy watchin’ me put you out of your misery.
I dare you b1tch. You’ve made it personal son.
Leave your email and number. You don’t know who your f**kin with. You got ballz kid?!
One on one. Me and you. My fists against yours. Leave me your number b1tch and I’ll set everything up.
West Covina? So you’re local.
Leave me your phone number on this site you phag.
I’m gonna take you down.
I agree with Mr. Perez about the fight maybe being fixed. It’s ben the norm now for many pay per views that they end up being complete rip-offs. how is this for a comparison The first two fighters on that night were not paid the milions of dollars of the main event yet they put on a much better and more legitimate show. Sad but true Boxing is starting to lose its relevance and will eventually lose all viewership to MMA type fights.As for Larry merchant he made the fight interesting because of his comment to Mayweather, go Larry…
LMAO, what tough little midget Flip.
He says ‘Dawg.’
AHahahahah.
Use the Black Man’s slang like you some kind of tough street thug.
Ok ‘Dawg’
ROFL. Cut your throat like a Jap bayonet son.
Look at all the poor Flips living in West Covina, in their little tract housing.
LMAO.
Limp d1ck phags, trying to claim to be Asian.
AHAHAHAHAHAH.
Real Asians sh1t on you son.
Flips – they need affirmative action to get into college.
ROFL. Sad.
Don’t Test Me Bro has a 4-inch d1ck.
That’s why he always talks about Asian’s d1cks on this site and d1cks being stuffed up people’s azzes
That’s what you call a Fairy Floyd Fan Club Member.
btw…how are your late family members doin’ in hell?
THE WORLD BOXING SANCTIONING BODY MUST INTERVENE IN THIS BOUT (MAYWEATHER VS ORTIZ). IT’S A MESS IN BOXING. PEOPLE ARE DIVIDED FROM WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
ONE THING I NOTICED. VICTOR ORTIZ IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FIGHTER WHEN HE FOUGHT ANDRE BERTO. THE FIGHT MAKES ONE THINK THAT IT IS NOT A FAIR FIGHT.
@robotronic joe cortez wasnt even watching the action and it wasnt techincally a clinch it was ortiz apologizing
corky(don),
you need to get off this blog, you sound mentally retarded.
@robotronic
You need to get off this blog, you sound mentally unstable.
Yes, Ortiz did wrong with the headbutt, but action was taken and he lost a point. What fishlips did deserved a DQ. Had the roles been reversed, there would have been a DQ.
@robo;give me one example where a ref asked both fighters to touch gloves after one of them took a cheap shot.
So Ortiz doesn’t have to show good sportsmanship? Victor tried to cheat and got one-upped!
technically, the fighters must obey the referee at all times, and joe cortez never said touch em and box, that did not happen, if you hit a fighter on the break you get disqualified and mayweather will be disqualified when this fight gets reviewed, and cortez is gone from the sport.
Too many mistakes in the fight. First, the head butt, deep inside, Ortiz in an knew it was a deliberate vicious head butt with real bad intention, Having been caught, he tried so hard to make amends by being very very apologetic to Mayweather, to the point of KISSING him? Second,in an effort to appease May, he tried several times to hug him, and forgot he had to protect himself at all times – big mistake! Third, where was Cortez looking when the fight started? As for Floyd, he saw the opportunity so he took it – forgot to uphold the principles of sportsmanship. But then again this is Floyd! What else can we expect. He won the fight legally, technically – end of discussions, we all move forwaard. “HE WHO KNOWS HIMSELF CANNOT BE PROUD!
Go watch 2 men H.U.M.P. each other and enjoy it all to yourself.
prediction…..boxing will go extict in couple of years……mma take over…..mayweather will never stand a chance with this REAL fighters….he scared to fight pacman…end of disgut-ion.
mayweather vs. pacquiao
@polo;Floyd kept his hands up the whole time,it’s not his fault Ortiz wanted to hug.
@charlie;Cortez didn’t say ” lets go? ” Did Cortez motion with his hands for both fighters to engage? Did Cortez step from in between the two fighters to allow the action to continue? Stop acting like Victor was looking away,when in fact he was starindg directly at Floyd.Mayweather using 8 oz gloves equals trouble!
It’s not that the punches were ilegal. Its that he knew Victor wasnt ready.
You dont act like you want to touch gloves and then succer punch him, especially when you are there to put on a show.
My earlier point is proven. Mayweather cannot lose if Joe Cortez is the ref. Time out was called… Time in was NEVER called back, and yet the guy gives him the 10 count. Point is, that thing called Floyd cheated and knew he could with Cortez in charge. And yes, he truly is a tough guy picking on Larry Merchant after the fight.
Floyd warned him in that face off episode
Mayweather knocked ortiz out on the 4th round lol. Mayweather is the best
it’s obvious its a fixed fight. what ref cortez did after giving sign to re-start time by looking away and talking to ringside counter was the give away.
before, I don’t want to believe the shane-floyd fight was fixed. it’s impossible to see the likes of shane who’s always conditioned and fit even w/o a fight to suddenly lose air by the 3rd or 4th round?
Great work Floyd… You proved that you can knock out a man who has his hands down. Your are truly a great champion!!
who cares about seeing floyd v pac, floyd needs to retire from the sport for boxing to gain back some integrity.
sssshhhh! MAYWEATHER VS PACQUIAO!
scripted fight.
I never saw Cortez restart the fight, but even if he did, why was he not watching the fight?
I am a novice boxing fan, but shouldn’t the fighters be sent to neutral corners in the event of a point deduction?
I know it is protect yourself at all times and I do not blame Floyd, but they were never sent to neutral corners, and the restart was at best questionable.
Cortez is def at fault. What the hell was he doing?
Conspiracy theory?
anonymous-
dude please. You and several other posters need a reality check. Again, it was Ortiz who tried to inflict the illegal headbutt against Floyd, and the headbutt was not a light tap as it busted up Floyds lip on the inside and outside. Floyd acknowledged Ortiz’s apology 2 times and a third time after the ref signaled for the action to continue. You have a problem with Floyd hitting Ortiz twice? Dude, are you a boxing fan or just someone who will hate on Floyd no matter what? So, Floyd was supposed to stop punching just b/c Ortiz wasnt ready? If Ortiz had done that to Floyd,would you and all of these other sour grape heads react the same? You and I know that if Ortiz would have caught Floyd with his guard down after the ref signaled for the action to continue, you guys would be crying with laughter and would so nothing about a “cheap shot”, but rather how Floyd got KTFO. Matweather dominated the fight from the opening bell, and Ortiz had no answer but to resort to illegal tactics to gain an advantage over Floyd. Floyd not only turned the tables on Ortiz, but he made him look like a fool in the process because what Victor did was clearly illegal and what Floyd did was perfectly legit……………….get over it!!!!!
Mmm…how can people say Floyd cheated, when to cheat you have to break the rules. Floyd broke no rule in boxing.
I do wonder if Pacquaio had Ko’ed Ortiz in a similar manner whether Pacquaio would be lauded for his audacity.
WHY DO THEY CALL HIM PACMAN? CAUSE HE EATS THOSE POWER PELLETS!
Brilliant annonymous, if u watch the ref signals to come together is heard to say ‘box’ and as the article says, ortiz for some reason embraces floyd once more and then after the first punch carries on looking at cortez and doesnt raise his hands, im not saying he wasnt brave against berto, but as with maidana he looked content to qui and was smiling all over the place
All of this started when ortiz head butt mayweather,If he had not head butt matweather we would have had a fight.so who fault was it the fight turned out the way it did.it all started from ortiz actions.
Why i never saw people protest this way when ref helped Khan 4 beating Maidana????but what i saw was Khan is the best.when Maidana fought 2 people in the same ring?but now Cortez say Lets go then Ortiz remain hanging his oponent.
“MAYWEATHER VS PACQUIAO”!
Protect yourself at ALL time fools. It was Ortiz that rammed his granite mohawk into Mayweathers face with ill intent. The ref had them touch gloves and signaled for them to continue. Ortiz and Mayweather acknowledged each other for the 3rd time, and when the action resummed Floyd knocked Ortiz’s spiked mohawk into wet spaghetti noodles……lololol. We know that the Floyd haters were ready to run into the streets and commit suicide b/c Mayweather showed that he was still on top of his game and totally dominated a young, hungry and dangerous champion. I am more convinced now than ever that Arum, Roach and Pac dont want nothing to do with Mayweather…………lololol.
@anonymous. So the ref never said ‘lets go’ twice??? Before you call other people idiots make sure you watch the fight properly otherwise you look a fool.
All of the discussions center on technicalities. One question has been brought out. Did the referee ever said “BOX” before Ortiz got hit? If not, then it would have been a foul if Ortiz threw the punch.
Bern,
this was supposed to be a pacman-floyd fight…but floyd was too clever in his ways to avoid pacman.
last june, after beating mosely…pacman was free…and looking for an opponent. but floyd wore a face of a man that was not ready to fight because of legal problems. but when pacman signed marquez…floyd quickly jumped in and picked ortiz.
floyd’s expert cherry picking ways paid dividends… ortiz indeed is a greenhorn, and too ignorant to know what he was supposed to do…atop the ring.
The way I saw it was like Ortiz was not ready to resume the fight as his hands were were down while Mayweather knowing that Victor wasn’t defending himself, tricked the younger man into hugging again and unloaded a vicious left hand then followed up by a knockout right punch on the jaw when Floyd noticed Victor wasn’t reacting to the first blow. My opinion is that why hit a guy twice??? That was inexcusable for one, that was unnecessary to win the fight and two, as the older man Mayweather should have displayed a more maturity in front of millions of viewers. On the flipside, Ortiz wasn’t ready for this fight mentally because like many boxers who want to fight the elite level opponents, they just have no idea what they’re in for and the amount of attention Victor received from the media was taking him away from focusing on the task at hand. Frustration got in the way then he headbutted Floyd. Same thing that happened to Mosley when he pushed and tripped Pacquiao. Manny then came after Shane but the diffirence between the two fights is that Pacman didn’t punch a defenseless opponent. Both Ortiz and Mayweather messed up. Ortiz should’ve fought on and Mayweather should’ve
ortiz can do dirty stuff yet floyd expected to have respect. you people sound like idiots.
@Anonymous***8 yes he did say time in. doesnt matter anyway ortiz was dirty tried to end the match with his head. you do dirt keep your hands up. what comes around>>>> you know the rest. ortiz wanted a way out. what happened to toe to toe. floyd chased him the entire match. only had two or three rounds left in him.
cortez was paid just like he was for khan and maidana thank god for morales to give us our money worth
MAYWEATHER vs PACQUIAO pls.!!!
Hey stupid, the ref never even said start fighting again. He was busy lookin at the time keeper. You and anyone who thinks this is legit is a sorry coward just like Mayweather.
Inside the ring a boxer must protect him self all the time.Floyd is the best boxer in the planet.you cant compare Ortiz with Money.
Floyd is a POS and Cortez is the worst high profile ref of all time.
After I read all the comments, I have a lot of questions to ask.
1. What happen to USADA Random blood test. I didn’t hear anything about it.
2. Why GBP didn’t release a statement about the fight. Are they ashamed about it?
zdrx
I did think that myself…
I’m not an avid follower of any fighter, but I am a fan of boxing. Win or lose, I wanted to see a fight and that cheap trick by Floyd stopped me gettin what I paid for
As a fellow boxer I say that he had every right to hit Ortiz the ref had already broken them up and let them come together to fight after deducting a point from Ortiz, and if that isnt enough there was no question that he headbutted Money May intentionally, In closing PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES!!!!!!!!
Sellout , how low can you go?
is the second act of apology by ortiz, necessary?….. NO!
did floyd committed foul for that KO?….. NO!
BUT FLOYD TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ORTIZ’S INEXPERIENCE. THAT’S THE REASON FLOYD PICKED GREENHORN ORTIZ…TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS IGNORANCE.
but what about another angle being floated around? THAT THIS FIGHT IS FIXED…THAT ORTIZ CHOSE TO STAY DOWN (and count his money) THAN CONTINUE THE CHARADE?
boxing S U C K S
MAYWEATHER vs PACQUIAO
Just when you think boxing couldn’t get any more WWE this BS happens. Peace x
@Needle…
What steroid…. do you have a proof?
On the other hand, I have a video link of how Floyd CHEATED Victor, do you want to see it?
Oh, you’ve seen it already I guess, and you saw that as the greatest KO in boxing history. Boxing greats will rise from the grave to haunt this fighter who wants to clean up boxing.
ohhh…..what idiots there can be here. For some it was fixed, for some dity fighting
@Dennis McCarthy:
You are correct to say that Mayweather was right to attack Oritz when Ortiz try to hug Floyd. However, Oritz did not give up, he was hit with a punch that he did not expect coming which is the most dangerous punch. Manny Pacquiao is no Victor Ortiz. If Floyd beats Pacquiao, it won’t be easy!!!
SHUT UP EVERYONE! there is one thing that we can all agree, as a boxing fan, we are all prostrated, all we want is MAY vs PAC. let us use OUR POWER to make it happen, it is OUR MONEY that make fights. from now on, on ALL sports web, we only write on comment- “MAYWEATHER vs PACQUIAO” *if you don’t, then you are one reason why it won’t happen!
fixed fight – no way mayweather will take a fight he might lose and ortiz understands this -all victors savings were bet on 4th round KO guaranteed – after first puch why did he not cover up – hit me again please floyd – bull**** boxing collects all the money again
This fight will be enshrined in the Hall of Shame together with Mike Tyson’s ear-biting bout with Holyfield.
If you doubt that the fight was scripted, then you are either daft or a Mayweather fan. This was predicted all along before the fight. He,he, he. Got your maoney’s worth?
Watch out Ms. Jackson. You might next. Runs in the family..ask uncle Roger..pure trash. Two wrongs don’t make a right that’s why he’ll be back in the food stamp line in about 10 years after retirement.
AHHH,Pac’fans,what about people who continue to say that Mayweather has problems with southpaws?Frankly,what I saw this night confirm the greatness of Mayweather.Pacquiao cant beat Mayweather,so he doesnt want to take the test.If Pacquiao takes the test and fight Money May,he’ll be outboxed and will lose by ko.Be serious boxing fans,not haters please,do you think Pacquiao is in Mayweather’s level?Absolutely not.one thing who help Pacquiao to win is steroids,if Pacquiao thinks that He can beat Mayweather,then take the test and fight him.Believe me boxing fans,Arum,Roaches,Ariza and Pacquiao wont accept to fight Floyd,they will all hidind behind the test,by refusing it.Pacquiao isnt in Mayweather league please.
who ever thinks Oritz was in this fight is crazy.
I totally agree with author of this article.
If u watched the fight , really watch the fight. Ortiz tried to head butt 2 times in the 2nd and 2 times in the 3rd, 3times in the 4th in which he got call for the last one. he bent his knee’s and came up with his head. Protect ur self at all time. they touched gloves,1,2 Ortiz is out. Same thing happen in Mosey fight, Mosey want to talk Mayweather hit him. Protect ur self at all times. Oriz 160lbs, could not get up. People say Mayweather can punch.
ken Pace
Yes one day Carma will pay and your idol the Pacman will be exposed for having duped millions of boxing fans included you Sir King for CHEATING
You who worship the Pacman are truly the DISGRACE…
Straw chewing cheat but I blame the ref for being slow and not with it he should retire from big fights
This was a fix fight!
Mayweather is a digusting disgrace to his race. Just like when Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize. You both have no integrity. You call that a win?. Right now the only friends you have are the ones you can buy. Someday you’ll have to take a realistic look in the mirror. You are a half a man. Not to mention that you also spineless when it comes to facing Pacman. You are petrified of him. One day Karma will pay you a visit.
Personally, after someone just launched his head into mine and split my lip in two different areas, there is no love lost. Mayweather allowed Ortiz to apoligize not once, but twice. Then the referee said fight, Ortiz decided not to defend his self and he got knocked out. Everyone is letting there hate for Floyd drive their opinion. Had the roles been opposite, you all would be yelling Floyd got what he deserved for giving a cheap head butt.
ORTIZ AND ALL OF US WILL HAVE TO WAIT A VERY LONG TIME UNTIL MAYWEATHER CALLS OR AGREES TO A REMATCH DATE. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. MAYWEATHER SURVIVES ON NEGATIVE ENERGY. Mayweather has tainted boxing as prize fighting. Fights like this have an international following. Sadly Mayweather doesnt care on his representation of us AS AMERICANS. The comments during the questioning by Merchant explained that he intended to take advantage of Ortiz and his actions were probably planned. IN FUTURE CONTRACTS CLAUSED SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO PLACE A GAG ORDER ON MAYWEATHER FOR LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM.
F u Floyd golden boy they should , Tha fight was so fix !!
lol im sitting here reading all yall mayweather hater comments yall are to funny hold on let me get my popcorn and soda ready because this is a comedyshow yall gonna hate on floyd no matter what he do is that fight proved ortiz was not ready to fight the champ ortiz needs to get some years under him and understand the game of boxing you get paid to box not to hug and kiss ortiz is still a rookie to the game and there was nothing cheap about that punch the ref said fight so what do you do? on the other hand yall sayin floyd cheated but yall sayin pacquiao and marquez is going to be a good fight pacquiao going down 1 pound and marquez is moving up 10 pounds so tell me who is cheating? lol i got all day
Why no celebration from mayflower..why get so upset in the after fight interview…mayflower and his brothers showed their true colors. What a professional.
well writen dennis mcarthy at the end of the day opinions are like arsoles everone has there own and they all stink but black is black and white is white i think theres something we all can agree on ya gotta love boxing what entertain it is
Ortiz was pick by Floyd because Ortiz has no avility to beat him, i said before Ortiz has no change, i watched Floyd for 15yrs and din’t expect Floyd will heat his opponent like what happen last night, i cannot accept a kind of victory like that, shameful!
@ Foreal, Ortiz already lost, why he allowed Floyd to choke him and didn’t do anything. I think he got intimidated and scared. myself, if someone do that to me in front of so many people, your dead.
That was my comment last nigh before the fight.
Now your happy that Floyd knocked out a defenseless opponent standing in front of him with the hands down and not looking. What a shame!! I could do that to you also if your in front of me right now.
Those who are calling it a “cheap-shot” evidently have never seen too many fights to recognize that when a referee calls boxers to “fight-on” after he separates them for any reason-including to deduct a point – a boxer is free to continue regardless of the posture taken by the other. I don’t like the persona of PBF and wish that someone will come along and really give him a beating but I have to admit that he was right in throwing punches as hhe did after the command to “fight-on”. As for Ortiz he remins me of a broken record – same hitch at the same spot – he knew that he was getting whip badly – like on his first ever lost – and just quit. His “bravura” image reminded me of the Britsh Hayes before he was whip by the heavyweight champion. Maybe Ortriz now comes up with a “broken toe” that did not allow his hands to “defend himself” and the only thing he had left was his head.
Watch it properly! Cortez cuts the air with both hands to indicate the fighters, then turns to the time keeper, bad refereeing. Ortiz had already embraced ffloyd once straight after the incident, and there was a 2-3 second gap between the left hook and straight right. If I was slapped with a left hooked I would engage not stare at the ref. Rookie mistake. Inexperience no one going to help so help yourself!! Adding to that after that head butt. Ref screams brake, mayweather looks at cortez Ortiz threw a left hook straight at him? No one seen this though. Cortez has ruined to many big fights but Ortiz should worry about his opponent not the ref.
when Manny touch gloves on Mosley Floydrats cried and said why they always touch glove? when Ortiz kiss Floyd cheek as for an apology Floydrats are so silent, and Floyd gave Ortiz a blinding left and right Ortiz is not paying attention and hands are lower down Floyrats jump with joy and sais Floyd still the best!!!
Good..all the idiots have run away. God riddance!
hehehehe…. I don’t feel bad. But I do symphatize floyd’s fans children. Early in life, they are taught it’s cool to cheat when their fathers and brothers jump in joy at that Floy “knockout”.
Pathetic society.
You will be hungry for weeks to come, all because you don’t think…fools
These half brains, want to beahave as if boxing is the same as modeling. Ortiz had no chance, from day one. Probably you haters have lost a lot of your money on baits. You desrve it you idiots.
The problem is that many fools were too hopeful on Ortiz. They thought Ortiz can do Manny’s dirty job. Infact, what you saw today is what will happen to Manny when they meet, worse he is too small.
…there will be a another Victim soon. Floyd is just amazing. Get a life haters….Floyd always gets under your skin. He is the best boxer…and Ortiz never at any time look like he can win…you fools.
What did I say would happen? I told every one on here and other sites that Floyd would knock out Victor!
I want my cash! I have been 100% right on my picks with Mayweather and others.
Pacquiao will get a “Top Rank” decision over Marquez. No way Pac will ko old Marquez….
Where are all the so called haters that said Floyd was in over his head, he will get koed you said..
Oh am sorry it is excuse time…Typical haters….Just admit that Floyd Mayweather is great! It wont hurt you at all to admit what you already know!
all you lot need to watch a reply of the fight, you can clearly hear cortex say lets go and brings the 2 fighters 2getha to fight not kiss and make up.
fmj gave a boxing lesson to a strong young fighter we all know whats gona happen next pacman will fighter mayweathers left overs lol
No matter what the hell jealous people will say, Floyd had no reason to feel pity on Ortiz. He has to learn his trade well and learn not to dis-respect the king of boxing. Haters…how are you feeling?..ofcause bad..and I am loving it….fools
Golden boy mayweather Ortiz cortez job well done(you helping many boxer but you fooling the boxing fans)
“Birds of the same feather flocks together”
A cheat loves a cheat.
does Floyd need a referee like Cortez to win a fight for his legacy?
They will line-up, and they will all fall short. Who said Floyd runs?, who says Floyd hits soft? Who was backing who? Saddists….feel really bad!
hahahahaha….. why? because you and floyd said so?
If Floyd is on top of his game, why did he resort to that cheap move?
I think he’s sensing danger… and he saw an opening to cheat.
Double standards! what sportsmanship? Manny is refusing to take a blood test and you say sportmanship…losers…
happy are those who are blind and accept the unacceptable win, this is reason why boxing is dying… and Floyd said we can make a rematch if he want, what a waste of time and money only fools will agree on Floyd.
Ortiz thought he was heading a ball. Come on..you don’t do that to Floyd.
SPORTMANSHIP!!!! Not any longer in sports, by the way I think that the ref should be in a care senior center, mentally he is too slow and disoriented to ref another fight in any level.
what a shame for boxing.
Floyd was on top of his game again, through-out. Ortiz was getting desperate, did you see that header?…like a footballer. Get a life losers…
its funny but not one person has ever mentioned floyds use of his elbows on this site before. now that team ortiz brought it up its all you can mention
You are all pathetic lossers. I am sure your throats are chocked with grief..it normal, take it like men.
its stupid to say ortiz is not in mayweathers league. it only went 4 rounds. ortiz would have caught mayweather in the later rounds.
crottyruh
@Foreal…
I’ve been reading a lot of your comments for quite some time already and we’ve exchanged some at some point in the past. There was a time when you almost had given up on Floyd because of his inactivity and your inability to defend his antics anymore.
Believe me, I’m happy for you that you are happy again and confident that you can now always defend Floyd. But trust me, after his fight with Ortiz, win or lose… you’ll be in silent mode again.
Posted September 15, 2011
********
It’s amazing how you can still defend Floyd. I wonder where do you find joy in patronizing an obvious cheat.
Hahaaa…I love this. I like it when you feel pain..when you are agreived. Ortiz hardly complained, he knew he had to protect himself. Floyd was not there to play games.
Cheap shot…canelo could have done the same to gomez when he slipped behind him but being a true champ he let him get back in his stands and beat the right way…its crazy a young champ knows better than a supposed super star.lost alot of mexican fans floyd…..morales should have been the main event best fight of the night
You can cry wolf all you can, you always do. I thought Dave has some brains..but alas…
DOES FLOYD DESERVE P4P AFTER THIS FIGHT?
it’s unfortunate that the ending of the fight clouds the fact that mayweather was the aggressor and was hunting down ortiz in the 3rd round. ortiz just kept backing away.
in all fanboy stuff aside, i think it’s obvious that mayweather was going to dominate the fight. mayweather never slows down and gets worse as fights progress, so his success in the early rounds is a pretty good predictor of how well he would’ve finished.
the ending might not have morally been right, but legally is was. sure people may be upset, but it is what it is. ortiz did a dirty move that could’ve had serious ramifications on mayweather’s record and future fights, so mayweather taught him the rule about playing with fire.
Oh Floyd would have won this fight but its funny how he screams foul with a headbutt yet we have seen him time and time again taking cheap shots and using his elbow. I just didnt like the fight, the finish, THE REF, the whole fight stunk. I wouldnt be surprised if it was fixed because how can Ortiz look so happy after it.
i believe if the fight continue Floyd will win the fight in a decent manner or win, its Ortiz and referee fault Ortiz not paying attention to his opponent give him a kiss asking for an apology lower his hand, he trust a fraud opponent who took advantage and gave him a quick 2punch..
I am just imagining whats going on in Manny’s head. Just my thoughts.
Hahaaa..you can only knock-out a mulnorished boxer, not Floyd.
even im not a boxer i can knock out a guy that just standing like mayweather did to ortiz! its a disgrace box of mayweather!!! its not a kind of knock out fight count!!!

PS… I’m convinced Dave Lahr is actually Freddy Roach.
All you haters, you got what you deserve. Move on, don’t choke with anger. You all saw how great Floyd is.
I agree with surely..The whole thing just didnt seen right..It was a great performance by floyd but i didnt like how it ended…If amir khan thinks he has any chance of beating floyd hes dreaming..I wouldnt even give him a 1 percent chance of beating him..As for pacman the fight just has to happen..Floyd will be the winner in that one too,he brings something special to the ring that manny or any other fighter doesnt have..
The Boxing Commission should sack Joey Cortez simple as that. The guy is pathetic i have seen him time and time again make a right balls up of fights. But low and behold he seems to the ref for a Mayweather fight. As soon as they announced him as the ref i knew this fight would be a disaster.
@ cheapshot..when the ref says time in that means fight not stand there a hug and kiss.time in means that the boxers continue boxing and for the time keeper to resume with the clock. Ortiz just got his azz beat.fucck pac man let him keep have more babies out of wedlock.
its also a negligent of referee he say “lets go” but his eyes is so far from two fighters!!!!! floyd is disgrace box
i believe if the fight continue Floyd will win it, but in a good acceptable win…Floyd took the advantage Ortiz low hand and looking at the referee and din’t pay attention, its Ortiz and referee fault and dont trust a fraud opponent.
@LEXLUGER
you pretty much stole what i was going to write lol at least now i know somebody else wasnt drinking when watching the fight either
It was a fair punch its boxing an when the ref says let go it means carry on Ortiz was getting beaten he didnt trouble Floyd as for the guy saying the fight was a fix shut up! idiot.
Floyd as power and is aware of when to use it he’s the smartest boxer there is if you cant handle how good he is just shut up an dont comment.
What a knockout thoagainst a guy much bigger than him Pacs running scared an i Think that 0.sumet percent knockout difference between them is going Floyds way after that
I saw the fight live and have watched over and over about 5 times now.
Yes the ref is an idiot and they should have had someone like Bayless refereeing this fight but the only thing the ref did wrong was forgot to tell the time keeper time in before he told the boxers to continue. It’s on all the replays I have seen and you can clearly hear Cortez say lets go and gesture for the 2 fighters to continue. There was no other reason for the fighters to walk back to eachother as he had previously seperated them. After cortez said “lets go” and gestured for the fighters to come together he then turned away to the time keeper to tell him time in. Ortiz wanted to continue hugging and kissing floyd faced him with his hands up and and you know the rest. Watch the fight in it’s entirety before making stupid comments. Ortiz lost every round hands down and took a damaging combo from floyd in roud 4 that had him holding on for dear life.
during the conference after the fight, floyd was busy defending why he won’t be fighting pacquiao lol!!!
even if the ref says go and you see your opponent defenseless, it is still unsportsmanlike to punch him and that’s aside from the fact that you are being part of putting your opponent at risk!
clearly, ortiz was starting to land shots at the fourth round and floyd got bothered so when he sees ortiz defenseless, he take those COWARDLY shots!!!
…and floydiots are saying floyd is great lol!!!
This fight was such a fix!!The whole thing just stank,the headbutt,the knockout,the ref not looking!!I never seen a fighter so happy to lose a fight as ortiz!!He was gleaming with excitement after getting knocked out,there was no protest from his corner,he wasnt angry,he didnt want a rematch,he was just so happy!!He must have had a load of cash on himself to get knocked out in the fourth round!!And if all that wasnt bad enough we had to watch a staged interview with floyd and old interviewer merchant pretending they were gonna start boxing eachother!!!It was like watching a wrestleing match,it wasnt real and this kinda rubbish isnt good for boxing..It stank last nite and it still stinks..fix
@ cheapshot..when the ref says time in that means fight not stand there a hug and kiss.time in means that the boxers continue boxing and for the time keeper to resume with the clock. Ortiz just got his azz beat.fucck pac man let him Ho have more babies out of wedlock.
There was every indication Floyd was starting to tee-off. He won every round too!
Yes he did! Maybe Mayweather would’ve won this fight anyway but not in this manner. This was as a street fight, a street punches. Joe Cortez is to old and he should stay at home and raise grand chids next time. Mayweather is a dirty fighter and he did the same thing before in the Gatti fight in the first round and in the Mosley fight. He always hit oponents by surprise when they are with their hands down or talk to the referee or look in the other way. Shame on him! This fight should be a Non Combat fight rather than a ko victory for Mayweather.
Poor losers…the ref said..lets go. What does it mean?
Floyd won the fight accept it its a legal punch, but can you Floydrats completely accept it as a good win?
I am just thinking…what if it was Floyd that embarasingly head-butted Ortiz. The world was going to swallow him.
this fight is one for the books….
the next generation of BOXERS should never emulate at all…
what a shame………
Mayweather beat ortiz azz.ortiz was looking for a way out of the fight. Pbf was breaking his azz down.protect your self at all times. The ref said let’s go what does that mean stand there in the right and keep hugging and kissing or. Fight.its only pac man fans that are mad so you midgets better get over it. Had victor been a real man and fought we wouldn’t be going thru this.fuccck pac man!
im no boxing expert.. but i thought when you say “break” you should stop, and “time in” means start the clock and doesn’t necessarily means “fight” or “box”?
someone care to explain?
WOW Floyd showed such wonderful great sportsmanship. Really did boxing a good name! NOT!!!!
Junior is a dirty fighter Boxing is mde dirty by his kind
I watched the post fight press conference and realized just how much Ortiz and a bag of rocks have in common. Really.
Either he was absent mentally for half the fight or his way of dealing with defeat is to act as if it never happened. Sort of the way he dealt with the Maidana loss.
I stopped watching wrestling because I felt too old to watch something staged and call it sports. Guess Im going to mma because that was a soap opera. Clearly a staged performance by both. Entertaining yes, sports no.
Ortiz is a Girl
Floyrats you are really sick if you din’t saw that cheap shot, Ortiz is looking back on referee and old man referee din’t even saw those to punch and counted Ortiz, is that what you called sports?
why would Pacman take on Ortiz for?
Some people are sick. You are chocking with anger and envy.
I got a grand on pacquiao picking up mayweather’s latest leftover. Thats the filipino way, eating leftovers lol
even im not a boxer i can ko a guy that just standing like mayweather did to ortiz. its a kind of disloyal mayweather box
THE WRITER:WACHOUT YOURSELF,WHEN YOU WALK ALONE,SOMEBODY WILL CAME BEHIND YOU AND KNOCK YOUR HEAD OUT WITH THE THE BASEBALL BT,AND WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNING IN THE HOSPITAL!
Victor “no mas/headbutt” ortiz was being tutored on the art of boxing before the ultimate lesson: PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES. This is boxing not lets kiss and make-up for 10mins during a championship fight (the mosley technique). You get what you deserve when you’re in the ring with floyd. Floyd said he’ll son him and i guess, well he did. Lessons need to be learnt here. I hope everyone’s aware floyd is the WBC welterweight champion lol.
Those right of Floyd usually start finding their mark after the 6th round…
Floyd was finding his mark..aka Ortiz’s forehead early…
Floyd was fast and the place of those punches were perfect…I was like what have just happened…
I am a Floyd fan….but I have never seen him win like this….
I think was as strong and rugged as small 32 yrs old pacman can never be at welter even with steroids.
Will Pacman take on Ortiz…?
By losing Ortiz might have escaped a beating for over 12 frames that could have ended his career. Floyd would have put a Job over 12.
@IRON MIKE& DR.IRON FIST:HA…HA…HA….THANX TO REPLY MAN.SO NOW ITS TIME FOR OUR NEW DR.IRON MAYWEATHER(HA..HA..HA…)TO FIGHT MARTINEZ LIKE WHAT HE SAID THAT HE WANT TO FIGHT THE WINNER OF MARTINESZ VS WILLIAM.
fraud didnt gain anythin here but more despise from fans hahaha
i’ve watch the replay the punch was legal but the truth is? its a cheap shot, Floyd is a fraud!!!
Did we all see the same fight here or do some people need to get their eyes and ears checked, the ref says let’s go guys, the 2 touch gloves and then mayweather goes sick on ortiz. why the hell ortiz says the ref said time out i don’t know if you watch the video again joe says let’s go guys so why why why all the fuss????
@vitali:HA..HA…HA….YES FOR SURE WE CANT DO IT.THAT KO WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MARTINEZ’S PUNCH WHEN HE KNOCK WILLIAM OUT.HA…HA…HA…
Real “STARS’ champions do no take advantage of situations. Referre Cortez failed into grab each one by their arms and then give the signal to continue. I think Floyd was starting to think that Ortiz was a great menace to him and decide to take the opportunity of getting Ortiz without guard. I am very sure that if the fight continue without this incident Ortiz would continue to pressure the way he was fighting, just like a real Bull, and that could it be a problem at long term for Floyd.
You can’t get away on everything Floyd, now face Josie Harris and Pacs lawsuit. Your going to pay!
DID FLOYD DID ANYTHING WRONG??THE ANSWER: NO!!!!IT WAS THE BEST FIGHT AND THE BEST KO I’VE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIVE!!!NO BODY CAN DO THAT BUT FLOYD,I CANT DO THAT,MIKE TYSON,MUHAMMAD ALI OR LENNOX LEWIS CANT DO THAT.
I admit it. i was wrong. i picked ortiz to win. so start saying i told you so.
@denis:why not mayweather v martinez?i think they very close in size,and to see “the defensive genius” like the end of this article…
Since when do refs call box on, then look at the timekeeper to restart the bout? Mayweather did throw a cheap shot put Ortiz in his place for the headbutting, but I bet even he couldn’t believe how easily Ortiz went down, I feel cheated after paying to watch that.
floyd done his job he is a true champion Ortiz didnt want to carry on.and floyd will take anyone they puts in front of him
floyd cheated USADA RBT and ortiz
@ Mexicans, Thai’s
You’re right the Pacman will never do that because he does worst: He uses PEDS. Is there anything worst than that?
Ortiz is a coward he gave up and looked he was happy when it was over, didn’t even try to protect himself and tried to get. Protect ur self at all time kid. They threw everything at Floyd but didn’t work so they tried to fight dirty. Great win for Floyd
Funny how the Filipinos try to mock Floyd wearing Grant gloves….
Not so funny when the guy wearing Grant gloves KTFO a guy that was halfway to Super Middleweight.
What’s that smell? Oh. The smell of Filipino Fear.
Those two are making boxing looks so cheap. But what can we do as long there´s a referee who doesn´t know what his real job is and fighters don´t follow the rules. They forgot what sport is, I wonder if they even know what word means. How boxing can be great again if there fighters like these spreading like virus all over?
if every one listen carefully the referee said let’s go the should victor go 4 an apology again, he can even chose not to do so since point has been deducted great job floyd
we all know that Floyd pick Ortiz because Ortiz has no avility to give Floyd a dagerous fight, a young no heart fighter, i wont complain because i myself din’t watch the fight!
Hmmmm. This would be the first time in history that a “scared” fighter has landed nearly double the punches of his opponent, and fought going forward for 90% of the bout.
42-0-26… and so they keep falling.
‘Reap off’
LMAO. No wonder Flips need affirmative action to get into college.
The fight is orchestrated and make the boxing fan look fools, Ortiz was so happy because of another extra money on his bank account. Even JOE CORTEZ pretends that he has no IDEA whats happening. This is a disgrace in boxing never watch a FMW and Ortiz fight ever again what a reap off. Both are CON artist
Well it happened to gatti too against floyd. It’s not exactly out of character. Get off your high horses.
Ortiz says he had fun and he has no complaint at all…the kid is all smiles, must be the bank balance am sure. I honestly happen to think that Ortiz quit on this fight, i cannot understand why one would be punched once and twice and not even attempt to protect themselves…think he threw e’thing to FMJ and he realized it was a no win for him and opted for the easy way out.
Not a cheat but certainly unsportsmanlike conduct. Take the depo Snake!
if you still have sympathy for ortiz after the headbutt, then you are simply a floyd hater. if it had been a pbf-mo fight, and floyd getting frustrated then headbutts pacquiao, then pac hits him the same way, you’d be singing a different song. lol.
get over it, haters. ortiz was gettin schooled, frustrated he did a dirty, then he made a huge mistake. wait,.. two mistakes! lol. he was hit the first time and still did not cover up. he looked happy the fight was over, though. rofl. pacnuts, your cross-eyed god is even more scared now. he will run to the mountains.
Damn Ortiz thot he was immune to punches. After getting clobbed with then1st punch he still doesnt protect himself…dumbness.
Cos Ortiz was happy for it to end thats why, and no one should be talking in the ring only the ref, Mayweather was spot on, fair play to him.
REMATCH, everyone knows Ortiz was winning rounds 3 and 4 and coming on strong, floyd was looking vulnerable and weak.
Floyd always has to cheat one way or
another to win.
hate to say this, but bob Arum was right for questioning FMJ’s mental state
I think that makes Floyds knockout percent higher than PACS! wow wt a knockout kinda expected it but lol nothing wrong neither jus why the hell do u put ure guard down wen ure in a fight wtf he’l learn from that Floyd won all the rounds too no argument to who the P4P King really is.
Pac would get KO’d infact next Roach interview he’ll be like unless it catchweight Floyd way to dangerous!!
I agree with the writer. How come Ortiz looked so happy after the fight when he should have been angry, upset and snarling with fury? He simply did not obey the rules of boxing which says that ‘boxers should defend themselves at all times’. Even after Mayweather hit him with the first big punch he made no attempt to cover-up, instead he stood there like a dope, looked at the referee and allowed Mayweather to hit him again with the right. Did he really want to continue? Why was he all smiles immediately the referee counted 10? Strange goings-on for sure. Larry Merchant took 10 minutes to ask his first question, so boring and prolonged was it. No wonder that Mayweather became irritated. I was also watching at home. Merchant needs to retire ‘pronto’.
lmao. ktfo a guy who weighed more than a middleweight. wearing grants.
pac-joke $hit his pants watching that. had to send them to the cleaners – dogmeat doesn’t come out easy.
in the words of the champ i’m gonna k.o you and make it look easy hahaha!!!!!
Did we all see the same fight here or do some people need to get their eyes and ears checked, the ref says let’s go guys, the 2 touch gloves and then mayweather goes sick on ortiz. why the hell ortiz says the ref said time out i don’t know if you watch the video again joe says let’s go guys so why why why all the fuss????
Robotronic you are a tard
Maynever is a disgrace to boxing but floydiots are still depending their idol because they have no brains at all..
pathetic!!!
What Floyd did was legitimate, but it did not legitimize him as the best p4p fighter.
Had he knocked Ortiz out without controversy then Floyd would have advanced his image and status. Instead, Floyd looked like “the bad guy” and Ortiz looked like a fool (at best) and even like a quitter–I cant believe that hook and cross knocked him out, fight almost looked fixed.
Btw, I still think Floyd and Manny wont happen
Joe Cortez – firm but fair, old and useless
@ Dave Lahr
Lol! you clearly were in bed sleeping when this match was taking place.
I love how people come on here and professionally comment about something they read about in the morning paper.
floyd might have won the first three rounds but clearly, ortiz was winning the fourth and that sent a message to floyd that it could be the start of his end. and floyd acted swiftly to avoid being KO’d, he cheated ortiz by delivering those shots while the guy is defenseless…. what a COWARDLY move!!!
Pacnuts, your cross-eyed midget god is next. LOL.
Pacnuts and Flips are shaking in fear now. Don’t worry, Pac will not fight Floyd. He will keep on hiding behind his blood-test-makes-me-weak b s. LOL.
Jacobs im sure thats his head of promotions and another of his uncles
TRASH FIGHT! MAYWEATHER AND ORTIZ BRING BACK OUR MONEY! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Furthermore, Ortiz could have got up. He QUIT again on the canvas. What happened to all that toughness. GEt up son. Brush it off and get back in the ring for this a@$ whoopin
It showed Floyd was Masterfully picking Ortiz apart frm opening round. Ortiz could do nothing to stop the lead off rights. Floyd landed 68% on the kid. So Ortiz had a moment and got dirty. If the fight would of went on, they would stopped it by 7th rd due to Floyd damaging the kid. NEXT. 42 – 0
cortez,cortez cortez…..whats your storyline?where were you when this happened?(checkin out the bookmakers)
I think in this fight Floyd got an x inside the 0 of his record. He is not on the level of Manny Paquiao. He got scare and got to finish it or it might taste the first defeat of his life.
Only few fighters are realy sportsman.
And this sportsman is Dejan Zavec (Jan Zaveck).
Remember he lose against Berto head butt.
Now we waiting for rematch……
Whose the fat idiot who hangs off Floyd all the time? laughing at all his unfunny jokes, saw him standing there mimicking everything floyd was saying to Larry.
with guys like him around floyd, it aint hard to see why floyd is such an as*hole
You want KO, I gave you KO. I blindsided Ortiz. This is boxing!
good article, i am a ortiz fan but a bigger mayweather fan. clearly ortiz was getting frustrated and is to much of a nice guy he should have had his gaurd up no.1 rule protect yourself at all times.
The Face of Boxing got so ugly!……..
Kiss after the headbutt? Handpicked Victor is so obvious, eh Floyd? Takes one to know one!
something tells me Victor allways planned on using dirty tactics once the going got ruff… didt him and garcia constantly say in the 24/7 episodes that they would “do anything to win” and “win at all costs” ????????????
Had to love Larry Merchant giving it the big I am.
Weren’t scared of Floyd at all. ha. even he hates Money
Hey Dennis you sound a little like ‘Chris williams’………
Chris is this you?……….
TRASH FIGHT! MAYWEATHER AND ORTIZ BRING BACK OUR MONEY!
Dennis, fantastis article!!! You hit everything dead on the button!!!
I watched the fight live and being both an Ortiz and Mayweather fan, I firmly stand behind what you have also seen and how you saw it.
Ortiz gave up again. I bet if floyd didn’t do what he did Ortiz would have not continued fighting. Ortiz probably just destroyed his career with that one. The only good thing for Ortiz is that Arum and manny are sure to want to fight him now after watching that.
Floyd is a disrespectful pin head who does not deserve the skill or luxuries in live he has. He should be in the gutter where he belongs.
is this not boxing ? leave the love for after the fight. the same thing happened in his fight with gatti. gatti lost concentration and got taged on the break. i didnt buy the fight, so i didnt see what went down but a fighter should always protect himself at all times
why do people allways say floyds fights are fixed? cant you just except the man is an arse-hole yes but a brilliant fighter? id love to see what the excuses would be if floyd pounded pacman into dust
can someone explain the rules of boxing to me?
I thought punching was aloud when the ref said fight?
What if Ortiz did that to Floyd and it knocked the lights out of him?
the new three stooges
cortez as curly for a lousy referreing
ortiz as moe as stupid as he can get
floyd as joe for being traitorly funny
what the hell is that?told you its a rip off…
f Ortiz has his way. He and Floyd will continue to make up in a hotel room, with Pacquiao singing I will always love you, by Whitney.
I Hear he has quite a good singing voice.
defend yourself at all times…
cortez signaled to fight mayweather did ortiz didnt
I can’t complain, I didn’t buy this fight, I watched it on stream. but I felt bad to those people who spent money for this fight, they got cheated. The fight is dirty all the way. I don’t really care if Floyd fight again. He is killing boxing.
where is my post?
Yup, once a catchweight chump, always a catchweight chump.
Makes sense. 3rd catchweight out of his last 5? Shameful. Tsk tsk tsk.
Delicious fanboy tears.
People need to watch the whole round rather than the replay
Ortiz hugged & kissed floyd then cortez seperated them
Ortiz touched floyds glove as cortez was deducting the point
Cortez gave the signal to continue but was not watching for some reason
Ortiz decides to touch gloves & HUG HIM AGAIN!
This is BOXING not loving making
Why would you hug someone after intentionally giving them a headbutt
I could understand if it was accidental but no ortiz blew it big time
It was Ortiz who did something wrong. He flat out QUIT (again).
Sad to say but…once a quitter always a quitter.
Just like someone else we know…once a coward always a coward.
the script is well done! Floyd will fight manny as a champion. Ortiz is not gonna spoil that plan as he was paid $2M. He said sorry to his boss… telling floyd ” sir, I am really sorry for hitting you, I got carried away”.He hugged and kissed him and then pretended to have forgotten defense.. so end of the night then!!!
you can’t hit a guy when the ref has you split ok, it is illegal and mayweahter should have been disqualified,
@GTD
Floyd and the controversy machine have ripped the fans off; I feel we have been cheated out of our money once again. Yes the punch was technically legal, but if fights are to be won by a controversial technically rather than skill and athleticism then it will kill the honesty of true combat and allow the full control of corruption to referee our sport. If we let this happen, will never see a true fight again!
I think most of you would be better off watching Ballet.
Nothing wrong at all with that Ortiz only got himself to blame
Not sure why Ortiz was not defending himself but Mayweather was still wrong to attack him. Not by the rules, just sportsmanship.
you clearly did not see the fight there wade, you are a delusional child.
@Bern
But Ortiz apologised too much. spent nearly a minute apologising.
Floyd accepted it the first few times, but Ortiz would have carried on apologising until the post fight conference after
Sorry guys, when the ref says box, you dont attempt to hug your opponent. Da, you take their dang head off. No foul happened. Grow up.. If the fight would have gone on, it would have mirrored what Floyd did to every other fighter he has fought. IE beat them convicingly.
hitting a guy with his hands down while the ref has you split is illegal in boxing for those of you not familiar with the rules.
Mayweather – Is this an anagram of CHEAT?!!
it was a crystal clear re-action of vengeance in FLOYD’s mind…
see the idiots eyes…
a very unprofessional and inhumane manner….
the win is only befitting of mayweathers’ characters,Immorals. no surprise at all!!
It was the referee’s fault — he gave the signal to continue AND THEN he looked away as if he was still waiting to start the fight.
That referee should be fired.
Did Floyd do anything wrong?
We all know it was wrong…It’s called honour! It’s like a company accepting an investment from you and then going bankrupt taking your money with them. They stole your money! Floyd stole the fight and cheated the fans. If you’re happy with that then you do not understand the true concept of Boxing. It’s funny how Hollywood make movies about courage, honour and respect etc. How would Floyd Mayweather be depicted in one of these films?
stupid fight.
If you think Mayweather did a good job you have no morals.
@Markyp
A from the UK. My primetime wasn’t working for some reason, just like the wonderful channel 5 for the Fury fight.
Watched the fight online with some wonderful Brazilian commentary. Sound went off after the first round. don’t even think they was commentating on boxing tbh. Since when is there a gooooooooooooooal in boxing?
Great and to the point article!
@ Dennis – I don’t know if you’re from UK, but on the PPV in UK last night, Khan was in the studio and said that the best way to fight Floyd is to be like him, PATIENT! and I believe that Khan is more Patient than Manny. I believe that Pacquiao would become frustrated if he couldn’t hit Floyd, whereas Khan can fight a patient/technical fight as we’ve seen in his past fights. Khan’s jab would be the main weapon in beating Floyd, just like when Floyd fought ODLH, the jab was crucial to Oscar’s game. But I don’t believe Manny will go up to the weight that Sergio’s team is asking, as it’s already been said that Margarito and Cotto were too big for Pacquiao, even Manny said that himself.
floyds a genius!! defend yourself at all times!! i would of kicked ortiz in the nuts tho
ortiz lost the fight!so…only manny can defeat that money!
Floyd is not a boxer as well as cheater, so hard to beat that type of guy
Folyd is not a boxer as well as cheater, so hard to beat that type of guy
this is why boxing is a dying sport
@Markyp
Ithink Martinez would go for him. Fight fire with fire.
Would love nothing better to see khan take down floyd but really can’t see it happening. I think Khan would be too cautious
@ Dennis – Have you seen the way Martinez fights? It would definitely not be an “all out war” as Martinez doesn’t stand and trade unlike Manny. I would rather see Khan V Mayweather, as the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight doesn’t look like happening any time soon, if at all.
People need to watch the whole round rather than the replay
Ortiz hugged & kissed floyd then cortez seperated them
Ortiz touched floyds glove as cortez was deducting the point
Cortez gave the signal to continue but was not watching for some reason

This is BOXING not loving making
Why would you hug someone after intentionally giving them a headbutt
I could understand if it was accidental but no ortiz blew it big time
touch gloves.
protect yourself at all times. boxing is a bloody sport so dont expect a girly thing on it.
mayweather do nothing. you should expect a war if your inside the ring.
i mean you cant just look into referee’s eye if you got tag or hurt.
THE END JUSTIFY THE MEANS.
VICTORY AT ALL COST
BUT FOR FLOYD, HIS VICTORY COMES WITH A COST
KHARMA IS JUST WAITING IN THE CORNER.
@Baddong
Why? the ref waved the fight to continue, both fighters were apart, Floyd came forward to fight and Ortiz came forward to make love. simple
Phuque ewe Floyd
Phnque ewe Floyd
the fight should have been awarded to ortiz via disqualification, the referee should be fired also.
@Ryan
I’d rather see Martinez v Mnny. That would be an all out war and possibly one step too far for Manny. maybe wrong
floyd didn,t have the power to drop ortiz but would have won anyway. shame it ended that way but ortiz cant complain after what he did!
@denis:his biggest test not only pacman,theres martinez arounds if he cant figh pacman..and lets not forget paul william,margarito and cotto.
nothing was legal at all about this knock out, floyd is in the wrong, and cortez is gone. nothing technical about it.
Ortiz acted wrongly with his headbutt and consistant apology.
Mayweather acted wrongly – he looked like he knew what he was doing.
Cortez acted wrongly by not giving the fighters clear instructions.
What a farse and huge disappointment!
Floyd and the controversy machine have ripped the fans off; I feel we have been cheated out of our money once again. Yes the punch was legal technically, but if fights are to be won by a controversial technically rather than skill and athleticism then we will kill the honesty of true combat and allow the full control of corruption to referee our sport. If we let this happen, will never see a true fight again!
I dont know what fight you were watching, but floyds punches had little effect on ortiz. Floyd on the other hand was feeling ortizs power.
biggest fix in boxing history.
Mayweather obviously paid ortiz in this farce of an ending. Why on earth would ortiz head butt floyd in the first place? then that helped lead up to the farce ending.
Goldenboy promotions and ortiz wasnt even bothered at the end cos they are on side with mayweather.
Ortiz losses a controversial fight, he can carry on. what a mess
Its better to lose by the rule, than WIN by a cheat!!…floyd is NOT a sportsman!..its wasnt a great sportsmanship
I completely agree with this article Ortiz got what he deseverd and I was a fan before the fight but mayweather was in front from The first bell and that was Ortiz way out of the fight
ortiz, was hurting floyd that was clear, manny, isn’t really that tough of a test, I want to see ortiz pound floyd.
“As time goes on, with both fighters starting to lose a yard of pace, this will surely affect Pacquiao more as he needs to constantly throw punches from the first bell until the final. Take away his ability to do this, and you take away his one chance of beating the defensive genius that is Floyd Mayweather…”
- Absolutely bang on the money, hence Floyds retirments, beguiling tactics of obstacles/smokescreens & delays…This Novemeber the world is waiting with baited breath to see vintage Pacquiao fighting with an edge. Pacquiao would happily take one of Floyds pot-shots to hand two/plus more back.
How does Floyd deal with Pacquiao’s amidextrous non-reeadable style..& more importantly; how exactly does Floyd deal with Manny’s implausible power?
@fujiwara 1062
As much as appreciate Floyd the fighter, make no mistake I’m not mad on him as a person. Nor can I accept him to be ‘One of the all time greats’ until he faces his biggest test in Manny.
WRITER…THE WORLD WILL NEVER BELIEVE IN ALL FLLOYD’S SELF PROCLAIMED GREATNESS…ONE THING IS CLEAR….HE IS NOT GOOD FOR BOXING.THE BOXING ORGANIZATION SHOULD INVESTIGATE FOR THIS AND THE STUPID CORTEZ SHOULD BE BANNED.
I can only say that ref is too old and that Ortiz lost… Facts.
Wait… I’m sure Chrissy Williams has the answer to your question.
