Mayweather Ortiz - should it be a DQ?

[ono]

Ortiz and Merchant got what they deserved. Poetic justice.

[piye]

I think Ortiz got what he deserved stop throwing headbutts and protect yourself at all times.

[marbleheadmaui]

Unless Cortez called a break (which I didn't see or hear) Floyd did nothing against the rules.

[GAME]

The butt definitely landed. Floyd had a bleeding mouth from it.

Exactly. Ortiz' foul was blatant but Floyds wasnt because they were punches. Wasnt his fault Ortiz wasnt defending himself. The ref is to blame. So is Ortiz but Floyd is not.

It was a good performance from Floyd up til then but then he gets booed and Larry puts a downer on the fight just like he did with Lewis vs Vitali. He never gives credit to guys he wants to see lose.

First of all what Floyd did was totally legal, Cortez told them to box on and then remembered to signal the clock back in. That is Cortez's fault certainly not Floyds. Secondly how can anyone have a go at Floyd for taking a cheap shot (which was legal) after Ortiz had just clearly butted him?

Frustration had set in and Ortiz knew he was getting picked apart so he resorted to a Tysonesque approach which backfired big time.

In a similar situation, Michael Spinks ko'd Eddie Davis years ago...may've been Johnnie Davis. Good bit of show biz with Merchant; I think he took it in good humor. Since Ali turned an honorable sport into pro wrestling, all that stuff is fair game. I think that the only guy that did nothing wrong was Mayweather.(And Larry.)

It was some of the worst conduct I have ever seen. I want to change my sig from 'I'm gay' to 'I'm a total cunt'. That was disgusting and I am fuming right now.

Cortez and Mayweather once again team up and spoil the entire boxing world.

And Floyds attitude with Merchant was appalling. Floyd needs more than a slap and at least 10 more headbutts. The best way to get him is to take his purse.

The incident needs to be investigated and the result possibly overturned. Cortez simply stood and watched. He should at least have given Ortiz time to recover. It was a cheap shot and nothing more.

What a fucking farce!

I'm only replying to your post in regards to Mayweather's conduct towards Larry Merchant, but Merchant has been very disrespectful to Mayweather for quite a while. I'm pretty sure many people on here have said he's a drunken fool before. Besides regardless of what Mayweather said, do you think it's proffessional for someone to say if I was so an so younger I would kick your ass? Before you said Mayweather snr should have to earn the respect of Jnr, whats has Merchant dont to earn Mayweathers respect?

Regardless who was at fault , once again the fans suffer.

Why should he be given time to recover? The ref said box on and Floyd KO'd the cheating fucking arse hole. Ortiz got on my tits after the fight by acting the nice guy. He had just blatantly tried cheating because he was getting easily beaten up and he angered Floyd so he got KTFO.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Cortez waved em in.

In respect of whether it should be DQ or not, the above is really all you need to know.

[Spicoli]

No. But It was a school yard cheap shot from the very best of what the sport has to offer but many many lesser guys have done it. Not like he proclaimed to set an example in the first place

Ummmmmm What?


Anyways no is an answer. Even if Ortiz had continuously punched him in the nuts no is a good answer. Mayweather has been doing shit like this and destroying the big stage of boxing for years. And he wasnt winning all the rounds either just the opposite. He flinched several times. Flinched you ever seen Floyd flinch before. You cant say what was going to happen in the latter rounds but Floyd looked uncomfortable and like he was in trouble.

Now if Ortiz would have knocked Floyd out intentionally with that butt I'd be calling him a piece of shit for it. I wouldnt be on here defending him just because I like him. That would make me an idiot.

And I'd like to see a gif of Cortez saying carry on in anyway because I saw no such thing. What Floyd did is classless either way but the first makes it illegal and he should be banned. Because we know he wont fight PAC either way!

If someone had just blatantly head butt you would you have just let it pass because he's a 'nice guy' and said sorry? If ortiz had any awareness he should have noticed Mayweather was a little pissed off.
