Yup. Proving once again that Victor Ortiz's boxing IQ is somewhere south of top quality.

Haters gonna hate. That's what they do. Money May back in the saddle again. Yeeehaaaaww! ;D
And for the infidels: best thing is that Floyd could even change his style by going total berzerk and still win. Best of both worlds here, haterz. :cool:
I've never respected Floyd as a man, but have always respected him as a fighter. I liked his style and think he has a shit load of talent. However tonight i've lost respect for him as a fighter. We all know it's "protect yourself at all times" but there are unwritten rules in boxing just as in any other sport. In baseball you throw at a batter, next inning you're getting thrown at. It's not in the rule book, but you know it's a "rule". In boxing you have these unwrittne rules as well, and i think Floyd broke one tonight. I'm pissed because it was a abrupt end to what was a competitive fight, and one i thought Ortiz was doing well in.
It cracks me up that another poster will say they lost respect for Floyd, yet dosent mention Ortiz incited the whole thing my blatantly jump butting Mayweather and punching him while he was defenseless. Then people say will Ortiz got his punishment from the ref and Floyd should have happily obliged the 5 hugs and a kiss this guy kept giving him because he got caught butting and that's it. Ortiz reaction was like he was stealing something in a dark room and suddenly someone flicked on the lights and he realized 9000 live and millions at home caught him doing something wrong.
.
Also anyone who thinks Mayweather owed this kid any sportsmanship after He blatantly used his head as a weapon is beyond me. Cortez yelled Box and Floyd hit him out of anger and emotion within the rules. You may
have wanted more you might expect more out of Floyd. Why I don't know? Most of the hate comes from ones who already hate him
Ortiz intentionally headbutted Floyd, that is wrong and he was penalized for it.
When the referee restarted the fight, Floyd made every indication that he's accepting Ortiz apology, even barely touching their gloves, but suddenly dished out a sucker punch knowing that Ortiz is not yet poised to defend himself.
Isn't this Floyd the same guy who demanded for a random drug test, TO EVEN UP THE PLAYING FIELD? This isn't even a fight between two equals. That sucker punch is legal but a sneaky move done on a defenseless underdog.
floyd is a boxer not a warrior. Warriors would never pull that shit. That said, floyd is still one of the most skilled fighters ever. That said..he is still a coward. Ive never seen a boxer who is so talented and yet be so chicken. He said manny youre next and deny it. Trust me, manny will kiss floyds ass to a certain degree ( agree to random test etc ) just to make the fight happen. But guess what...floyd will cook up another excuse just like what he is doing again. That fight will never happen.
I hate to see Floyd do this to himself really, I hope he realizes what he did and comes back alot more motivated to prove himself as a great
I was surprised to see how Victor weighted 164 pounds and Floyd barely made 150. That's quite some weight. Yet, no complains from Floyd that I know of.
