They hugged and Mayweather stuck him and then Ortiz looked at Cortez and Mayweather knocked him out. Since it was a tie up or anything why should Cortez have stopped the fight after the first punch?

I could be wrong but from my understanding he shouldnt have. The blame lays on the shoulders of Ortiz alone. Was it kind of classless? Yes but nothing illegal and certainly not the refs fault. But please someone correct me if I'm missing something here.
Firstly, welcome

Secondly, no your not mising much. Except that it wasn't the first headbutt of the fight and that there are a lot of people here, who hate Floyd and Joe.
