    It was refreshing watching an "HBO fight" without an HBO announce team for once, but that fella with McCullough (who pats his own back far to often) made my ears bleed.

    Seriously hung over, someone tell the wind to stop blowing

    My thoughts:
    1. Floyd's punches were 100% legal
    2. Ortiz is a complete moron for not protecting himself.
    3. That was a crappy ending.
    4. Someone of Mayweather's caliber --p4p best in the sport, 7-1 favorite in the fight, leading on the cards at that point in time -- does not need to end a fight that way.
    5. Pre-scripted? Ortiz takes Berto's punches and gets up and Berto is a harder puncher than Floyd. After the KO, Ortiz is very friendly with Floyd as was Floyd with Ortiz.
    6. This will make a Pacquiao fight even less likely.

    I've made it pretty well known here that I don't like Floyd Mayweather. Don't like his attitude in and out of the ring... personally thinks he's done his share of ducking, while taking care of his precious "0"... and has been in some downright BORING fights.

    But here's where I distance myself from being just a Floyd-hater. Last night was nobody's fault but Victor "WTF Were You Thinking" Ortiz himself.

    First, he launches himself like a missile at Floyd's chin. Probably the most obvious headbutt I've ever seen. THEN... not content with kissing and hugging Floyd the first time... he goes to do it a SECOND time. AFTER Joe Cortes had given the "go-ahead" to continue fighting. Floyd, obviously still pissed about the headbutt, connects with a good left hook.... but not quite a knockout punch. So Victor "Rocket Scientist" Ortiz, with HIS HANDS STILL DOWN, looks over at Cortes as if to whine: "Floyd hit me." So Mayweather does the only thing he CAN do. He hits him with a right and knocks him out.

    Conclusions:
    1. Victor came off like the village idiot. Hey kid.... save the "I love you man" shit for Bud Light commercials. You're in a boxing match, not "Blind Date".

    2. Why all the hate for Cortes (as usual)? He promptly took a well-deserved point off Ortiz... then motioned them to continue fighting. How was HE to know Ortiz still wanted some "kissie-poo" from Floyd? Cortes was just as taken by surprise as the rest of us.

    3. Did Floyd deprive us fans from a good fight? Sure. But it was hardly his fault. He's a fighter and he's being paid to try to win. He saw an opening... he took it. It wasn't the most sportsman-like thing to do, but remember... he had just gotten the mother of all headbutts. No amount of smooching from Ortiz was going to fix his broken lip.


    And while I'm at it.... what about the Merchant incident? What a riot !! That was almost as good as the fight itself. Again... I'm not applauding what Mayweather did. But it's painfully obvious the guy is carrying a giant chip on his shoulder when it comes to the press and their criticism of him. So when Merchant put him in a corner, Floyd lashed out. Was it right? Probably not. But it's probably not that difficult to go off at old Larry. He's (Larry) probably saying to himself, "Hell... I don't need this shit. I could be sitting in a bar somewhere downing scotch-and-sodas."

    Finally, it's too bad the fight ended like this. But I put the blame squarely on Ortiz's very childish and immature shoulders.

    After see what Ortiz did to Floyd when he actually pressed there no way Floyd ever steps into the ring with Pacquiao. That fight is nothing more than a wet dream.

    Seeing Ortiz's reaction, I'm convinced he already prepaid himself for being the loser.
