Then he hugged him.

Then he tapped his glove saying sorry.
Then he hugged him again.

Then the ref said fight on...at which point Ortiz continued to try and fondle, grope and make out with Floyd in the centre of the ring.
Floyd responded by knocking him the fuck out.

HOW can you have a problem with that?
HOW is Floyd the dirty fighter in this scenario?

Rocco, all I said was I didn't feel it was a fitting move fir an ATG. I think Floyd should pummeled Ortiz during the fight to set the record straight. I feel it would have said a lot for him. Look, you may not agree with this but I think you are much more capable of making an intelligent discussion about it. Rocco, I'm getting the Berto fight so I can enjoy Floyd's defense, my comments are not an attack, just a discussion, I think we need to hug this out. How many times must I tell you I don't hate Floyd, I just think had he handled viscerally called for revenge against Floyd in a different manner which he obviously could have he would have come out looking much better. At least Floyd got a knock out.

I was talking to @Master .

Ortiz deserved it no doubt about that and he faked being knocked out because Floyd can't hurt anyone, even with a free shot.

Haha! Why can't anyone beat him then?

There must be something preventing his opponents from steamrolling him -- it can't just be slick head and shoulder movement and fancy footwork.

I'm sorry, but Ortiz behaved like a full-blown idiot... then compounded his mistake.

He launches himself headfirst at Floyd's face, drawing blood.
Then.... he goes all kissy-poo on Floyd, wanting to smooch a 2nd and 3rd time.

I'm GLAD Floyd coldcocked him.
He deserved it.
