Pacquiao and Roach not impressed with Mayweather’s win
September 18th, 2011
By Dan Ambrose: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach didn’t like what they saw of Floyd Mayweather’s controversial 4th round stoppage victory over WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Speaking with the Philippine Star, Pacquiao said “Very poor sportsmanship. It was not illegal.”
Roach said “The referee was still talking to someone [timekeeper?] at ringside. And I didn’t see him say ‘box’ like they always do. I think he [referee Joe Cortez] lost control.”
Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz also described it as a “I agree that it was a cheap shot.”
I’m personally in agreement with them. I think it might have been legal, but the referee Cortez was concentrating on what appeared to be the timekeeper outside of the ring and he didn’t restart the fight the way that referees typically do by coming forward, motioning with their arms and telling the fighters to resume action.
I can see how Ortiz would have been confused and thinking that the fight still hadn’t been restarted. Mayweather clearly wasted no time in hitting Ortiz with a left hook, as he had just hugged him and was in the process of backing away when he got hit by Mayweather. It didn’t seem like a sporting move by Mayweather, and it had the affect of marring what could have been a great victory for him. Mayweather was in charge of the fight from the 2nd round on and was hitting Ortiz at will with straight hands in the 3rd and 4th. It was embarrassingly easy for Mayweather, but then he went and ruined it with shots while Ortiz wasn’t prepared to fight.

do the sport some justice and fight……another thrilla in manila????? fight in manila…sure to bring back the boxing at its best….just fight….
Mayweather Cheated
Let’s see what excuse he comes up with not to fight Pac Man now
If you guys want Mayweather and Pacquiao fight, then stop paying 60-70 dollars of your hard earn money only until they face each other, there are no more challenges for them, well maybe Sergio Martinez @ 150-154
@observer:NICE COMMENT!SOUND YOU R VERY FAIR MAN!!!I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION :WILL MAYWEATHER FIGHT MARTINEZ,MARGARITO,COTTO,PACMAN NEXT???????AND WHY HE NEVER FIGHT THESE FIGHTER YET???
“protect yourself at all time” is a rule in boxing. this phrase means be ready at all time coz u never know ur opponent wants to hurt you badly on or out of play. this phrase also doesn’t excuse you to take advantage or take a cheap shot against your opponent.like barrera did against manny, floyd against mosley and floyd against ortiz. a wrong can not be corrected by another wrong. cheap shot is cheating its like playing chess u cannot move any of your piece and take advantage of the situation while your opponent is not looking.it wil show in the record. 42 win 25 wins way of knock out and 1 wins by cheap shots.
This fight has to be the biggest garbage of all time !
This and the Lennox Lewis Oliver Mcall side by side!!!
Ortiz… your career is done
Mayweather…… youre a coward and ur very unprofessional
floyd mayweather is great liar .yesterday he siad pacquaio your next.and today.he said he dont need to fight pacquaio. floyd talk like a 3 years old negro baby.and this fight betwen ortiz and mayweather. I read it in the news paper. floyd your win is asc Shameful TO THE BOXING . ortiz the HEADBUT OHHH.you got knockout good for you…..sorry for those who buy ppv. i never buy ppv for floyd mayweather fights, its boring boring floyd why are you so boring if you fight,,,,,,,,,ahhhhhhhh lets forget it……..
@anon
No Ortiz was a fool and was deducted the point.Which he was apologetic for. He went overboard to apologise. and Floyd took a cheap shot against someone who was not even ready in the stance to fight. So you are defending this, it makes me laugh even more crazy is that u believe that he was right to do this. it was unsporting and it was cowardly.
@Floyd is a coward
Like Floyd says, he can do nothing to please his haters. Tell me were you please with the Ortiz conducted himself. Let’s play what if: What if the illegal headbutt had not taken place, I’m sure you and everyone else would agree that the way Mayweather was performing, his 8th round knockout prediction whould have happened.
For someone who went to such extent to save some face in quitting, he sure came out smelling like a rose.
That’s funny, I’m sure Mayweather was not impressed with Pacquiao’s victory over his bosses Arum’s 3 stooges, Cotto, Clotty, and Margarita.
Floyd’s legacy tarnished for this act of cowardice, and he knows it too. That’s why he couldnt handle the post fight interview with Merchant. Who by the way was asking what all the spectators wanted for him to ask.
Can any of you Floyd fans hand on heart say you are happy with his performance and that he truly beat Ortiz
As a Physician, I would like to offer my 2 step program to Roach, Pacquiao, and all of the future opponents that Floyd Mayweather Jr. faces in the future.
1) Be respectful when you fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. “Thank Floyd” gracefully for giving you the opportunity t face greatness. Never misbehave or you will “PAY”! ala..Ortiz.
2) Sit back and take the whoopin like a man, and after the fight, “Thank Floyd” again for whoopin your behind with such quickness, finesse, and grace.
What you guys are forgetting is Manny is NOT required to take any sort of tests outside of the Commission’s rules. Mayweather is just doing this because he think he controls the sport when in fact that whole family is ruining it. I’m surprised Manny agreed to negotiate the EXTRA testing when he could have just flat out denied it. It seems people keep forgetting this
Also, Manny took Mayweather to court for accusing him of being on PEDs and Floyd has failed to even show up for dispositions in the case.
I’m 5’7 like midget floyd and I could also knock Ortiz down if he had both of his hands down and not ready.
Why people saying “Manny take the tests or shut up.” Floyd’s the one who always saying Manny name.. Stupid..
Go to secondsout.com Read Mike Sloan’s article about the fight. It says everything that needs to be said.
Pac You
Do you recognize that your idol is a CHEATER? This should border you
What a disgrace. Here we have CHEATERS telling the world what they thnik should qualify as real fight. Keep counting your glory days …..
@will-You are the only educated person I find on this cite! It is full of a bunch of band wagon fans! watch as soon as floyd loses nobody will like him anymore.
Floyd would’ve won anyway IMHO
As a fightfan…I felt that i have been robbed watching this fight…Floyd’s fights are not even worth 50 cents to watch on PPV but Victor is also stupid for not protecting himself at all times….also, I thought Floyd was always campaigning for a level playing field yet he attacked an opponent who was totally looking away and not set to fight yet…what a waste of time and money!!!!
@Truth tell: Hey you pea brain Floydiots,ok let’s say we have almost the same IQ,ok? But i would say that i’m a little above of your IQ,ok?Bwahahahahahaha!
It’s really a big disgraced to boxing and this is bcoz of the scared and coward Floyd Jr.And during the post fight,coward Floyd Jr said that he don’t need Pacman.This is pretty obvious that he’s so scared to Pacman,right? If you are intelligent enough except fo Floydiots…then you can really understand the reasons why coward Floyd don’t wanna fight Pacman,ok? It’s a big,big shame to the american people and it’s bcoz of your idol the scared and coward Floyd Jr.Bwahahahahahaha!
There’s no sportmanship on the scared and coward Floyd Jr.Ortiz even hugged him and wants to settle those problems that’s why Ortiz was putting his hands down and just waiting for the referee to start the fight.But a selfish Floyd jr shot him suddenly?…It was a cheap fight and the referee really needs to stop it for a moment with a big deduction points from the coward Floyd Jr.Wait a minute, i think Cortez is one of the connivance bcoz it’s pretty obvious why he had to talk to the judges if the fight is on right Floydiots? What a big,big shame on you coward Floyd Jr and to all Floydiots!Bwahahahahahaha!
What the hell happened to the scared and coward Floyd Jr! Oh my God! I though he’s a professional boxer but he shown us,it’s like a criminal who really wants to kill his opponent. I thought boxing is an entertainment.What a shame on you coward Floyd Jr! And just lately, this coward Floyd Jr said that he doesn’t need Pacman…what about the interview during Coward Floyd vs Ortiz press con that he’ll absolutely wants to fight Pacman…is this all lies?What a shame on you coward Floyd Jr.Bwahahahahahaha!
all I gotta say is FIXED!!! C’mon was I watching a WWE match or boxing?
This is more like WWE scripted. World boxing entertainment dont be fooled by a Mayweather again.
People hate him or love him…. please address the facts. Ortiz did something illegal and Floyd did not. No where in the rule book of boxing does it say I can not hit my opponent if they do not have there guard up. It does say that the ref can stop the fight at his discretion if one opponent does not seem to be fighting back. If Ortiz really wanted to fight he would have gotten up and continued. Remember he said ” Berto hits harder and faster– Really??
floyd and pac are briliant boxers.i am a big fan of both.i have been a boxing fan all my life.my opinion is that PAC WILL DESTROY FLOYD.AND FLOYD KNOWS THIS .I DONT BLAME FLOYD FOR NOT WANTING TO FIGHT PAC.
pacquiao and roach both need to shut up and concentrate on taking their vitamins and training for marquez. They keep trying to tie themselves into mayweather’s success all the time.
So you admit it was legal but still think Mayweather should be punished, you f’cking friek
@Don’t test me: Negros Always complaint about racial Discrimination yet they are always the one who throws racial slur. Come on man have a ball. If you hate USA and the other races living there then why not go back to your Motherland instead. Cause we’re already sick of you whining and complaining.
and am sure Pacman and Roach feel what Ortiz did was right and legal…FCK. Simple then Pacman now ort out ur money issue with Bob and come get revenge for Ortiz, now that u cant do for sure.
Bob Arum said there were no money issues, onli the blood test. I now hear Pacman is not happy with money, God knows what else he will come up with to avoid the fight. I just hate it coz they dont come clean abt why the bout is not happening, Bob always tries to make it look like its FMJs fault.
ITS ONLY 1 SINGLE:DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this what floyd is calling a level playing field??? if he did not want the 2nd apology of ortiz, he must have pushed him back and punched him right in the temple.. but what did he do, he accepted the hug of ortiz and then boom… 1 and two combination…
what a level playing field…
manny will beat this big mouth skinny negro!
Nah, the only thing dying were the Filipinos when the Japs came to town.
ZING!
Bahahahahahah.
boxing is a dying sport tnx for the contribution fmj and joe cortez
Scripted or not I still love boxing!
@tork
it may sound like a conspiracy theory but it may be a fact. i mean all three people on the ring made unlikely, uncharacterisic moves in a sequence! first victor caught and pounded floyd on the ropes then BOOM! there goes the obvious intentional jumping headbutt! then the ref automatically took away one point from victor. victor apologizes not only a part of the act but also he may have hit floyd too much. then the ref look at the timekeeper, then ortiz apologizes again, (never did i see a fighter apologized three times for headbutting his opponent) ortiz seems to embrace floyd, floyd responded by touching his gloves, cortez again looks at the time keeper, then BOOM! BOOM! ortiz fell down, ortiz looks like his still conscious, could have gotten up but decided not to. what he absorbed w/ berto were far more stronger shots! then victor smiles. “the end” hmmm. probably the reason why berto and ortiz fought very hard was because for a high paying acting career w/ the director/producer watching at their fight live! hahahahahahahahahah!
The fight will be on The Hall of Shame!
There should be an investigation with everyone involve in this fight!
I agree fight was fixed.. The ref proves it.. poor acting.. what a shame to boxing!!!
This was NOT a fight, but a SETUP to collect your money. Boxing fans, do not be too stupid to let mayweather and ortiz steal your money again. Any mature persons would know it.
Boxing fans,
This fight was ABSOLUTELY FIXED. mayweather and ortiz are THIEVES: They stole your money and the smiles immediately after the fake fight.
A well orchestrated fraud in boxing history which will make it to the Guiness book. Floyd and Ortiz are superb actors.
from “MR. BIG SHOT” to “MR. CHEAP SHOT” hahahahaha
Hey Tork , your absolutely right!
It really looks like it!
Fixed fight.
mayweather + ortiz + cortez = losers = ruined boxing
NOW WHAT EXCUSES MONEY MAYWEATHER TO SAY THAT THE W.B.C. BELT HE HAD WON NOW IS A MANDATORY TO DEFENSE IN SIX MONTHS AND PACMAN WILLING TO TAKE THAT BELT.TEAM PACQUIAO AGAIN PLANNING TO CHALLENGE THAT BELT ASAP…MAYWEATHER WOULD RAN AWAY..OR HE WILL RETIRE…AGAIN
it’s doesn’t matter what pac and roach think
Scripted?
-THE PREPARATION (During face-off)
mayweather to ortiz: “Any mistakes you have to pay!”
“mistakes” = headbutts (mistakes w/ “S” – multiple headbutts)
“you have to pay” by cheap punches
(They both red the script well)
-THE EXECUTION (During the fight)
Executed headbutts
* Rd4 2:19
* Rd4 0:14 <- most important at the end of the round
REFEREE
-pretend you don't see the fighters
(rung the bell by yourself if positble)
ORTIZ
-if the fight starts don't guard your self
-pretend you want to say sorry
MAYWEATHER
-throw your punches after ortiz hugs you(Q)
(don't make it too hard..it's just an act)
REF
- even you don't see the action make a count down.
ORTIZ
-collect your 2.5M
MAYWEATHER
-collect your 25M
-FIN-
-ACTING PERFORMANCE
ORTIZ(bad) – he smiles after he receive the punches
MAYWEATHER(exellent) – perfect timing
JOE(bad) – his face has no emotion…
it seems he knows what will happened next
To all the Floyd haters talking about sportsmanship… let’s not forget that Ortiz played dirty first, end of story.
@ Floyde Fans
Tell ur weeder to fyt pacman so that u’ll see how pacman eat floyde’s balls! ha ha!
Floyde does’nt want to fyt pacman because he knew that his fighting style will be busted by pacman’s left hook!
Pacquiao will beat Mayweather in less than 7.
Haha! Roach is a big joke! This is the same guy who tells Pac to not take his feet off the gas pedal and KO his opponent when the opportunity is there. Yet when Floyd takes advantage of HIS opportunity, it’s considered wrong?? Wow. He may not have done it the nice way but he did it the correct way. The bus driver doesn’t wait for me if I’m late. Why should Floyd wait for Ortiz??
It was a legit win indeed and a win is a win but definitely it is not something to be proud of.
I hope there are still reasonable Mayweather fans that would agree with me on this one.
yeah I agree ortiz really screwed himself, somehow I knew he would one way or another and in a way so did mayweather because he still leaves the public hanging
Hey Pacman, you just make sure you have your hands up. Cause Floyd is definitely gonna take your head off. And curse out Freddie Roach at the post fight interview as well. Lol
really strange of ortiz upbeat mood after everything … either this fight was fixed lyk d mosley fight .. or a master cherrypick again of a dumb retard which is ortiz
cheap shot but legal…was hoping mayweather would impress the public with a fight of the year performance but I guess thats why the magazines aways vote manny as fighter of the year or decade
Now I know why the fight between Floyd and manny will not happen…He can’t buy manny coz manny is tenths of millions fighter (a prize fighter)
Hey, what else can you say. If this Weeder can throw cheep shots to his own father in front of the whole world to see and to an 80 year old man, Mr. Mercante, interviewing him as he does his work, do you honestly can think that this lowly organism by the name of Weeder will not throw cheap shot to anybody? He is a shame and disgraceful human being, indeed!
Go to secondsout.com Read Mike Sloan’s article on the fight. It’s spot on!
Good job Floyd ,All star wrestling in of your wait ,as is Pac Man./
that guy Franco flyod said it best….fbj prob would’ve won the fight anyways but to win that way was unsportsmanlike..its too bad especially with the ufc gettin bigger and better coverage
only Floydrats impressed on this kind of win, Floyd did nothing illegal but hitting an opponent after break and his hands are still down no normal fans will be impressed, only those who let themselves fool by Floyd are impressed!
Ortiz broke down is what happened. He wasn’t ready for thus kind of fight and his headbutt was done out of immaturity. He panicked and didn’t know what to do. You must protect yourself at all times and instead Ortiz tried to be buddies with a Guy trying to defeat him. Dumb move. I don’t like Floyd but he took advantage of a huge Ortiz mistake
a fixed fight indeed!! Why should ortiz say he was not hurt by Floyd’s biggest shot yet failed to rise on two cheap shots. Old Mosely took it well. Pac already mauled Ortiz for a TKO in sparring of which Ortiz’ connect is insignificant. If Ortiz can connect to Floyd’s face then you can just imagine what Pacquiao can do as Mosely said Pac is a bit faster than Floyd!!
Pac just focuse on Marquez no one cares about how you feel. You never faced anyone like Ortiz. Pac just make sure you take that test when you fight Floyd.
@ Danktrees
People like you never fail to suprise me. All you talk about is RBT from the first negociations an a supposed 2nd one ( which I personaly think is untrue ) yet now for the last year ( and you can varify this on you tube ) Pacquaio ha sstated on several occasions during interviews, that he would take the test. That is what Maynever had asked for but then since has added more stipulations eg Train in the US and USADA should do the testing.
Negociations are exactly that and can be resolved but Maynever does not want the fight, that is obvious even to a blind man.
People are bragging that they’re been boxing for 20 years. Maybe pulling hairs. lol. Boxing is a SPORT. Where’s the sportsmanship of Floydee last night? Is that what you call a SPORT? That’s truly a cheap shot. People should stop watching Floydee. He’s truly a shamed in the sport of boxing.
Floyd looked slow and weaker than ever. He had to cheat to win.
@MayweatherNeeds2Go;
What is your email address? I want to email you a copy of boxing for dummies.
“Mayweather: the Man who Ruined Boxing”
…it sounds very fitting!
Floyd didn’t only cheap shot Victor that night, he gave the whole sport a huge low blow!
@Mike
Well Mike I have been boxing way before you were born. By telling this basically I’m telling you that I’m way past my prime. I also a Trainer for over 20 years. So what do you want to talk about?
is this suppose to be the action of the self proclaimed greatest boxer and the man who will clean the sport of boxing? who’s cheating now floyd? lol
The fight was scripted period. Take it how you want to. Both fighters are bums, one for buying the fight, the other for letting himself be bought (which is easy but you really look like a bi*ch there after).
Only the brothas are proud of that W..Legal yess but it was a dirty shot…i believe the fight was fixed tho…to me Ortiz wearing Grant instead of Reyes Gloves told me sumthin wasnt right…PUNCHERS ALWAYS WEAR REYES GLOVES!
Enjoy.
“Joe pointed to the timekeeper and said ‘Time in’..“At that point, the fight is back on and they’re free to punch each other. Joe had them separated, but Victor went to hug him four separate times. But the referee said ‘Time in’ and Floyd Mayweather threw a perfectly legal punch. I have no idea why Victor kept trying to hug him or embrace him. I guess he was feeling guilty because of the head butt, but hey, you’re in a fight. Fight and then feel guilty later.”
-NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer
I only have 1 thing to say manny pacquiao vs mayweather when is he going to happen. All I know is mayweather cheap shots, when are you going to stop being scared of Manny.
Understandibly they both were not impressed w/ the ending cheap shots. But they have to be impressed w Mayweathers skills in the actual fight.
@Mike, Kostya, DamnIt, big dog, Franco;
You idiots don’t know boxing. Please go to Ebay and get a copy of Boxing for dummies. Inside you will find one of the basic rules protect yourself at all times.
shame on you coward floyd!
Yeah, because going toe to toe and walking down a younger, stronger welterweight champ who was just 4 pounds short of Super Middle, and leading 4-0 on all scorecards before KO’ing him wearing Grants is ‘cheap.’
You idiots not only don’t know boxing, you don’t even know how to WATCH boxing.
Watching Floyd Mayweather knock out a legit welterweight champ that outweighed him by 15 pounds, and was 4 pounds short of a full Super Middleweight limit while wearing Grant gloves – $70.
Watching butthurt Filipinos and Pactards cry, wail, and tear at their breasts in fear – Priceless.
@ mike… Ur missing the point here… Mayweather looks cheap, not great
Roach fighters….
Chavez Jr – scared sh1tless of Sergio Martinez. Tested positive for banned substance…
Vanes Hooknosecoward – scared sh1tless of Angulo…
James Toney – tested positive TWICE for banned steroids…
Manny ‘I’m Broke” Pacquiao – scared sh1tless of Mayweather Jr. Refuses to be tested for banned substances. No catchweight? No fight!
Awesome job Fweddie!
Mayweather wasn’t in control he lost the 1st round and lost the 4 round but round 4 was 9 to 9 so so the score would of been 38 to 37 at the time of cheap shot from the boxing cheat. Mayweather would have probably won but he would have took his lumps in this fight. If the fight had continued it would have probably got ugly with someone being disqualified probably Ortiz cause of the bias of Cortez
@Damn it
The only one giving a boxing lesson when Floyds fights manny is Floyd Mayweather.
Floyd: KO’s a guy that was just 4 pounds from being a Super Middleweight, wearing Grant gloves…
Pac-Broke: Fweddie! Fweddie!
Roach: What?
Pac-Broke: Change diaper! Now!
Yeah, he just needs to ask Pac-Joke to fight – BAM – new excuse generated.
So are we still going with USADA is a shady organization?
LMAO.
DamnIt- what is the purpose of your post? Floyd is not engaged in a popularity contest, and what he does outside of the ring has absolutely nothing to do with boxing. If you want to talk about what he does outside of the ring, then you need to find another forum to voice your displeasure with him, but this is a boxing site, not an episode of Dr. Phil. You and all of these other Floyd haters need to get over it….last night Victor Ortiz tried to take Floyd out with a “vicious” headbutt that busted Floyds lip open on the inside as well as the outside of his mouth. But Floyd turned the tables on Ortiz by tagging him and knocking him on his azz. What Ortiz did was illegal…..what Mayweather did was legal, and he made Ortiz look like a fool. Mayweather won the fight fair and square and he taught Ortiz a lesson that he will never forget…….PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES. You and all of the Floyd haters need to get over it.
Don’t worry guys. Mayweather will look for another excuse to not fight Pacquiao. I’m sure of that.
And to all Mayweather fans who keep saying that Pac is unwilling to take the drug test…read the news archives for 2010 and 2011. Pacquiao camp already agreed to all demands about drug testing. The fight hasn’t happened so far because Floyd just won’t sign the contract
I’m pretty sure the fight won’t happen.
Manny’s on Roids,
What I abhor with Floydiots is their admiration for the man..blindly. No one hates Floyd because of his skills but people hates the man because of his arrogance, his big mouth, his lies, disrespecting his fellow fighers and even his own father, his criminal propensity, beating his defensless ex and neighors, totally possessed by his pride and wealth??
This man needs a wake up call and Pac will rightly render judgment on him and teach him the lesson of humility.
Pacquiao if you dont like it take the test and fight!
a headbutt can knock you out and then he threw a cheap shot behind it he was trying to ko money may but he got caught slipping
i would like to see manny get hit with a cheap head butt like that and do nothing about it. Needs to take the test or just shut up. Time and time again floyd proves he does not need manny to make big money. Funny zero talk about manny marquez fight.
LISTEN UP ALL YOU PAC LOVERS. PACQUIOA WILL NOT GIVE MAYWEATHER A BEATING, MAYWEATHER FACE WILL NOT EVEN BE TOUCHED. MAYWEATHER WILL BEAT MANNY PACQUIOA VERY EASY MARK MY WORDS PAC FANS. IN NO WAY WHAT SO EVER IS THE PAC MAN GONNA BEAT MAYWEATHER HE’S JUST TOO GOOD AND THATS WHY EVERYONE HATES HIM.
Floyd really proved his greatness! Lol. Now lets see if he has the confidence to sign the contract.
It’s in the blood. Floyd will do everything to preserve his ZERO record at all costs even if it means he has to kill or caused severe injury to an unsuspecting prey like Ortiz. This is a clear case of savagery in its worst. Not only that, he turns to an old man Marchant totally disrespected him like a rug. I’m not surprised though as he has displayed disrespect earlier with his own father. Pac will teach Floyd the lesson of respect by beating him up fairly and squarely. Floyd days ar numbered.
‘I’m too little to fight Miguel Cotto at a full welter limit. I need a catchweight closer to Jr. welter. Or no fight!’
‘I’m too big to fight JMM at jr. welter. I need a catchweight closer to full welter. Or no fight!’
Typical Filipino Coward.
It wasn’t PBF’s fault. Now it’s time to move on to Pacquiao.
Sit tight for a few months Floyd…be a good boy, enjoy the November 13 show, and get your face ready for a Pacman makeover.
Those two will be impressed when Pacquiao is actually in the ring with Mayweather. Take away the ending, which I have mixed feelings about, Floyd did great. To my eyes, he looked like he hasn’t lost anything from the time off. I would have liked to see the fight in the later rounds. Yes, the two punches in the end were probably not the c l a s s i e s t move, but neither was Ortiz’s head butt. The ref deemed it legal, now we need to move on. One thing for sure is, Floyd has people taking about Boxing. No one can deny that Pacquiao’s last three fights were snoozers. If they get the kinks ironed out in the negotiation, their fight will be huge. People will be clamoring to see Pacquiao beat Mayweather. Mark my words, Manny will not beat Mayweather. Mayweather has too much skill. Manny will throw lots of punches, but very few will land. Victor tried and got frustrated and got desperate. To me, he looked happy the fight ended the way it did. It would have got more brutal for him as the fight went on. His face would have looked worse than Morales’ opponent Cano. I do respect Ortiz for taking this loss in stride and not complaining about it. He seems like a genuinely humble and nice guy. Maybe he will be champion again someday. But he just got beat by the best and there is no shame in that. As for Larry Merchant. He deserved that treatment from Floyd. For years now, Merchant has been asking backhanded questions after every Floyd fight. It is obvious that Merchant doesn’t like Mayweather and Floyd stopped playing the game and let Larry have it.
Take the test or STFU cheaters…just keep keep fighing old guys and leftovers and do not worry your time will come too…
Shame on him!
Arum, Roach and Pac..AKA “the three stooges” need to sit down and shut the hell up………go and take the blood test like Victor Ortiz, and then come and talk to us.
i heard money changed his name to Floyd”cheap shot”mayweather
I watched it at a local bar. The boooooos were deafening. This was not a sporting event. And Floyd lost alot of fans, but more importantly, the sport may have suffered. If there is any justice in this world. There will be a Pacman vs Mayweather fight, and Manny will give him the worst beating in boxing history. The thug needs to be humiliated. He’s a loser in my book. Maybe he’ll just be a casualty of his gangster rapper buddies.
lolol………at all of the haters. Ortiz tried to get an illegal advantage over Mayweather and Mayweather turned the tables on Ortizand made him pay. What Ortiz did was illegal, what Floyd did was legal and he made Ortiz look like an idiot in the process. I had a lot of respect and admiration for Ortiz after his battle with Berto, but I have no sympathy at all for him for what he tried to pull in this fight with Mayweather. Wasnt it Team Ortiz who said that Floyd was dirty fighter?……lololol. I have never seen anything so funny in the boxing ring in all of my life, and Floyd’s detractors are sick as hell over it. I guess Ortiz will now walk into the ring with a new tattoo on his back…………PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES…………….lolololol
if ortiz wouldve done that to mayweather cortez would’ve dq him on the spot cortez is a fixed ref and should be banned form the sport
Pacquiao and Roach are not impressed…there are scared….Floyd would do anything to win…
The most important thing to Floyd is the big 0 on his record….it’s kill or be killed….
Ortiz was high or something …the way he was acting is not how you beat Floyd…
Cortez should retired.
i cant understand ortiz gets hit with a left still looking at the ref then gets hit with a right makes no sense
@touretul – That is, IF you can hit that pretty boy on the face. 16% opponent connect. Manny? Around 30%. Pacquiao is scared of Floyd and scared of a needle. What a douche.
@damnit
as a fighter i can tell you… EVERY FIIGHTERS INTENTIONS ARE TO HURT THE OTHER GUY… unless of course your manny pacquaio fighting shane mosley
Mayweather is a douche. but there is a lesson to learn here for every fighter. don’t touch gloves with this pretty boy. just hit his face and wipe out his dirty smile.
bottom end, the referee was an idiot. he was looking everywere but what happens in the ring.
No one on his right mind will do what Floyd has done. To me it was not only a CHEAP shot but a CRIMINAL act on Floyd part. The motive to injure his opponent is there. Certainly a big blackeye to the sport of boxing.
@kostya
no he wasnt watch the video again ortiz comes in and floyd says “alright lets go, cmon” read his lips
Perhaps the follow-up article should be, “Mayweather Camp Not Impressed with Pacquaio’s Unwillingness to Take the Same Exact Drug Test Mosley and Ortiz Took.”
i have seen manny try this before in two fights!!
no one real cares what they have to say, obviously they are going to be negative towards fmj. roach and pac need to get ready
its not like mayweather cheated because victor hand his hands down even after he gt punched once soooits victors fault for head butting in the first place and no obbeying the rule protect yourself at all times
