Watch the compubox numbers. Floyd on average connecting 15 clean shots compared to Victor's 2 or 3 punches per round.

seen the stats and they seemmed pretty padded to me. Im actually surprised someone hasnt brought that up forever ago. I think they were pumpin Floyd up bad during the fight. Floyd would throw a right and sure it may have hit Ortiz in the head but it hit his glove first. Thats not a clean shot. If we are countin those Ortiz prolly landed more than Floyd. I been waitn on someone to try tell me I dont know boxing too lol. Its not like I dont know that Floyd was prolly winnin the fight cause he of course is the only one that actually landed one of the few decent shots that were landed. Yeah Floyd may have touched him with his right a few more times than that. Floyd never put Ortiz in a corner or had him stuck on the ropes ethier. For the most part Ortiz was the aggressor, using head movement and picking his shots wisely tho he didnt land shit. Take alot of other fights, where a fighter wins pretty much just cause he was the aggressor, even tho the other fighter plays good D and dont get hit much and lands counters. It depends on the judges really. Like i I said tho even if Floyd was clearly winning the fight and Ortiz was bloody and bruised that was unfinished. And sayin that any fighter as no chance in any rematch is insane. Any fight fan should know better than to say that lol. Any fight fan should know better than to say a fight had been decided in 4 rounds of a 12 round fight. Ortiz was gonna fight till the end my friends, until the end of 12 rounds, until he got knocked out while he was lookin, while he wasnt lookin, the ref stopped the fight etc. Unfortunately it happened the way it did.
Seein Ortiz go out like that has just really got to me honestly. To see any fighter go out like would get to me. What gets to me more is I put myself in his shoes and think of the pain and anger he feels then hear what he says and I see he says class things and handles himself well even after bein sucker punched like that. Alot of fighter regardless wouldnt have the class he has shown. Then after all this people try to blame him for Floyd sucker punching him. As if he is responsible for Floyds actions in anyway at all.
Me bein a fighter I fell his pain, and im positive I wouldnt be able to handle myself as well as he has in that situation. I would have fought him right there again and then again at the presser lol. Im sure any fighter would feel the same.
lol you're a fighter ic.. What kind of fighter are you?
The kind that fights, its a boxing forum is it strange for fighters to be on here?
Naw it's just that Id expect a " fighter " to have basic boxing knowledge..
No... Ortiz was on his way to getting KTFO!
I dont think it was beyond obvious ive seen fighters take way worse beatings than that and last a whole fight. I dont know what round the fight would have made it to, all I know is it was an unfinished fight.
all you people should be fired from hbo! :)
I do not want to see a re-match, Ortiz was being out classed, Ortiz was naive to not protect himself and should not be rewarded with another mega money fight for that and we all want to see Floy fight Pac man.
People thought it was going to go the 12 rounds because they did not expect Floyd to come out of his shell like that. He usually defends and takes the clever and point scoring shots.
As far as a rematch goes, no I dont want to see it. I did not even want to see the first fight as Ortiz had no chance against Mayweather. There are only four people I want to see fight Mayweather.
Pacman, Timothy Bradley, Martinez or khan. Dont think any of them other than Pac have a chance but the other three are the only other people I would bother putting in the ring with them. Martinez at top of his devision, Bradley undefeated at top of his devision and khan, joint top of his devision and beating people easily.
