Floyd is a bitch.. Cheap shots Ortiz, starts trash talking with an old man, and is still afraid to fight Pacman..

 

[The Young One]

Like Ortiz didn't headbutt Floyd...

"PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES"

42-0

 

[elcheato]

Yea, he hit him with a headbutt and got penalized, that's the price you pay for doing that. Floyd got rewarded for his cheap shots. That shit looked staged even though it clearly wasn't, just looked bad..

 

[The Young One]

If Floyd would've lost the fight that same way Ortiz did..There wouldn't be a outrage at all

Ortiz is a fucking idiot he lost the fight off his own stupidity..he had apologized like 2 times prior to getting KOed....

 

[elcheato]

Are you kidding me? If Floyd lost his undefeated record off a cheap shot like that, there would have been extreme outrage.. Floyd probably would have gotten up and started taking shots at Ortiz.

 

[The Young One]

No it wouldn't of..Floyd is one of the biggest villians in sports.

Protect yourself at all time..and it isn't even like Ortiz was winning the fight..Floyd was winning the fight anyways.

He fucking kissed him and patted gloves the first apology..that was enough..he tasted the canvas off his own stupidity.

 

[elcheato]

Yep, tasted the canvas while the ref wasn't looking.. He won on a cheap shot simple as that. He fought a guy who was just there to collect a pay check, just happy to be there on the big stage.. Still won't give the people the fight they want, because he's afraid to lose.

 

[The Young One]

After he beats Pacquiao...What's the excuse gonna be then for not giving him his due as one of the greats?

And if what he did was cheap...and ortiz did was cheap. It evens out...

 

[elcheato]

The headbutt evened out when he got penalized. That's the point of penalties..

And we'll never know if Floyd could beat Pacquiao, because he's too afraid to actually get in the ring with him, hiding behind some drug test..

 

[The Young One]

Floyd and Manny will fight..it's way too much to be made for their to not be a fight.

Either way..Floyd won and was gonna win regardless.

 

[The Young One]

Talked to Keith Kizer of NV Commission. Cortez pointed to time keeper and said time in. Punches were legal, according to Kizer. #boxing

From Kevin Iole twitter who covers boxing for Yahoo Sports

 

[elcheato]

Makes more sense then and it isn't as bad, but still hold my opinions.. He signed a fight with a guy who was just happy to be in the spotlight, wont take on the big fight that could 'bring back' boxing.

 

[Mexi]

shit how much more controversial could this possibly be lol

when i first saw it, i thought eye for an eye
victor clearly lunged for the headbutt

and i thought it was funny seeing floyd go all "fuck you"

i want a rematch for sure

 

[Mexi]

Floyd and Manny will fight..it's way too much to be made for their to not be a fight.

Either way..Floyd won and was gonna win regardless.

i agree

floyd was winning, won, and was going to win anyways

still, victor wasnt fazed it seemed
i would have liked it to go deeper. maybe vic had a better chance to win, but whatever

 

[elcheato]

rematch? no one wanted the first fight..

 

[Mexi]

rematch? no one wanted the first fight..

after that, i'd like a rematch

im with floyd. i was yelling gotta protect at all times
victor is an idiot

 

[Mexi]

and on another note, the PPV numbers for this are going to be good
boxing isnt dead

just because you (in general, not singling anyone out) dont watch, doesnt mean it's dead

 

[elcheato]

Why would you want a rematch after that fight? Ortiz was getting dominated, the ending was just stupid.

 

[Mexi]

Why would you want a rematch after that fight? Ortiz was getting dominated, the ending was just stupid.

because i really hated the way it ended

ortiz was getting picked apart by floyd, but i think he had a punchers chance if he could get to the later rounds

i dont want to see floyd and amir khan before a victor rematch


i think if floyd beats ortiz again, pacquiao beats marquez, we can finally get the fight in spring 2012

 

[The Young One]

The thing that bothers me with Ortiz is that it seems he has no heart. I honestly believe he could've gotten up after that 2nd punch. It was like what his trainer's brother said about him having no heart was true.
