Damn can't believe I missed the fight ugh.

What the hel! is the Ortiz kid smiling?!?!? Why isn't he mad?!?!? what the fukk is this sh!t he should want a fukkin rematch or something

Because he knows it was a intentional head butt which was returned with sucker punch. All he can do is smile and play along like he is innocent.

 

[NomarTyme]

Best sound byte ever. It'll forever haunt boxing....

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Ortiz just doesn't give a single fuck. doesn't have the mindset to be one of the greats.

 

[likedamaster]

Why would god give a shit about this fight?

all time low for boxing.

Why would He not? "All time low for boxing"? Not even close. The majority in boxing gives God props for their victories.

on topic/

That headbutt was absolutely intentional.

 

[Skilotonn]

Oh this was very much worth watching live, hot damn! Pop off and all!

Ortiz is like Cena when losing the title. Comes out next day smiling, kissing babies and hugging fat chicks.

 

[Amagon]

What did Merchant say to put mayweather on blast??

I'm @ the bar with no sound to the fight. Shit was fixed!

 

[dream]

He knows he dun goofed.

Yeah, Ortiz knew it was clean.

1. The headbutt was intentional. It was the heat of the moment type of thing. Ortiz is a fighter, Floyd is a boxer. It was Dirty. Probably payback for the elbows he ate, and the holding of the head, but still dirty and illegal.

2. Floyd took a cheap shot that should NOT have been legal. When the ref stops a fight, he has to resume the fight. The ref did not resume the fight, and was looking towards the judges table. When Floyd hit Ortiz, Ortiz looked at Cortez. Thinking "how is that legal?". Then Floyd hit Ortiz again and knocked him out. Cortez, known to favor Floyd in most of his fights, stopped the fight.

He never started the fight again. This is the first time I have ever seen a boxing match where a ref stops the fight, then a fighter starts it back up himself, without the ref starting it again.

don't be scared homey

i can't wait to see bobblehead get knocked around the ring like ortiz

 

[Instro]

Sounds like I should have watched this lol.

 

[The Chosen One]

I caught the very end. What has boxing become???

Absolutely hilarious. :lol

 

[tfur]

That was garbage.

 

[hawt]

Damn can't believe I missed the fight ugh.

There's only like 5 seconds of the fight you really need to watch.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Face it guys Mayweather is the best,pacquiao will get destroyed next and you guys will use an excuse.

 

[slider]

He was headbutting him in the clinch too. I even pointed that out earlier.

Sorry, I'm late to the thread.

What's the height difference between them? Wow, here says Ortiz is an inch taller. Hmm.

 

[Cousteau]

big time boxing is dead and gone.

 

[Pollux]

give me a link to youtube!!!!!! make this happen GAF

No, he started it back again. the fighters (like so many do) decided to hug it out and chit chat, but the fight was on. The ref doesn't do anything else at that point in any other fight.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

ALWAYS DEFEND YOURSELF

This ain't the dance.

 

[methodman]

That was actually a great fight until that headbutt. dammit. lol

 

[K1LLER7]

damn, floyd be trollin.
ortiz = $$$

 

[GQman2121]

Larry Merchant is the fucking man, and Floyd once again shows he's a little bitch.

Merchant's point about him wanting to avoid the Manny question is probably correct. He just wanted a way out of there.

 

[Harry Potter]

Larry Merchant is the fucking man, and Floyd once again shows he's a little bitch.

I like PBF, and that punch was dirty, but he was right about Merchant. Old senile bastard should have been let go years ago.

 

[Baby Milo]

I honestly don't see how Floyd did anything wrong. Ortiz deliberately headbutts him, then apologizes, Floyd accepts the apology, then Ortiz looks away and gets KO'ed? What was Floyd supposed to do in the middle of a goddamn fight when the fighter looks away?

I hate haters.

Nobody is making an excuse. Floyd was easily winning the fight. Although he was getting fucked up on the ropes then the headbutt happened.

The fact is, what Floyd did, was borderline illegal. It will probably be investigated, but boxing is corrupt, and nothing will be done even if it is illegal (which it may not be keep in mind).

 

[Gary Whitta]

If the ref never restarted the fight then the KO is bullshit.

 

[goldlion054]

hope pacman doesnt give this chump the time of day.

get the fuck out of here. That could be the best fight in boxing in the last 10 years, at least on paper. Forget how Floyd won this fight (legitimately) , just focus on what we can have

Let us have nice things

Pretty much.

Floyd is a genius, this villian role has everyone hating him and paying to see him lose. He tried to be the next Sugar ray 10 years ago always smiling and nobody cared, act like an asshole and everyone tunes in.

 

[Mobius 1]

Disgraceful. Hilarious.

 

[WrikaWrek]

I don't understand how is it legal to k.o a guy when the fight isn't on. And if the fight was on, why wasn't the ref looking?

 

[dem]

There are Larry Merchant fans?

Seriously?

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Boxing...

lawl

 

[Misanthropy]

What happened did the interviewer say to Floyd that got him mad? Did Floyd really cuss him out?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

If the ref never restarted the fight then the KO is bullshit.

He cleared them to fight and was merely looking at the timekeeper. Ortiz was too busy wanting to make up with the man Mayweather to try and take care of himself.

Nope,the fight started,it was ortiz fault for not paying attention.

 

[goober]

PBF paid the ref, hells yes.

And the judges? They didn't see anything wrong with it?

 

[SteveO409]

Lerry Merchant is such a bro

 

[NomarTyme]

There are Larry Merchant fans?

Seriously?

I thought it was disgraceful, yet hilarious.

 

[IrishNinja]

Trashy sport.

haha I've been trying to wrap my head around this too.

 

[aku08]

another nail in the boxing coffin.

 

[slider]

I watched a Spanish dubbed broadcast so had the volume down. I missed the "break" and "fight" calls which changes things a little. Gosh, dunno where I stand now.

 

[Anth0ny]

Every possible name in this fight is trending right now lmao
