Victor Ortiz vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[standing8]

I been reading twitter and everyone from Dan Rafael, Lou Dibella said Floyd did nothing wrong and had no problems. Dana White is pulling the Fire alarm, Max Kellerman said he was oppurtunistic. Lebron James was making Jokes. Lennox Lewis said when the ref says fight it dosent matter if the other guy looks away, the fighters were instructed to fight not hug. This whole thing is hilarious when you see how the outside world thinks that Ortiz is a retard

It's what I said last night. All of this.

And PLEASE some of you guys don't make any sense...we agree Ortiz was a muppet and after Cortez said let's go - Ortiz goes to give him a man hug BUT he's looking at Cortez? Seriously?

Merchant always get's on Floyds case, most of the time I've found it funny but at the same time he can't be surprised if Floyd takes he bait.

Larry Merchant isn't objective. He throws his opinions around too much. He mistreated George Foreman while he worked for HBO. He openly disliked Chris Byrd and Byrd called him out on it after one fight. He was more classy about it than Mayweather though. I always suspected Merchant was a high functioning drunk.

EDIT - I just wanted to add a couple of things to my mini-rant. I was disappointed in Mayweather's poorly worded, profane, explosion of voiced emotions. He and his side-kick should both be embarrassed, however, it was a build-up of frustration due to Merchant's past interviews with him and others.....and of course his closing monologues that irritate me. Merchant lost his cool too. If he had not said, "If I were 50 years younger I would kick your ass!" he could have turned to the camera and said something like, 'There is a perfect example of how being a multi-millionaire can't buy a person class, an education or even half a brain. He is clearly being overly defensive of his cheap shots, although legal, that finished the fight.'

I don't like Merchant and I always liked Mayweather but I saw a side of him I didn't like. He was winning and could have KO'ed Ortiz without the cheap shots and he would have looked much better in the long run. He had won every round.

As for Merchant, I think this was his last year and his retirement was way over-due. I got real tired of his attitude and opinions and always saying things like, 'This is another black eye in the dying sport of boxing. I'm Larry Merchant with HBO. Why hasn't he been fired? He runs down the only sport that keeps him paid.
