Mayweather took advantage of the absence of the referee known for his tag line, Fair but Firm. Cortez was obviously looking in the direction of a ringside official and Mayweather being the alert and (although many may say dirty) a pugilistic technician took advantage of a situation which could result in an edge for him did exactly what many fighters before him have done and many more will continue to do long into the future, hit his combatant with a prefect left right combination. I don’t agree with the tactic but it was perfectly legal.

What I seen was Mayweather systematically breaking down Ortiz (I would have loved to see Ortiz drop Mayweather and watched with hope) unfortunately for Ortiz the punches Floyd was landing were going to increase in intensity and eventually would have force Ortiz to withdraw from combat or be Knocked out running into a perfectly timed right lead as Victor came rushing in attempting to land a big shot to the head of Floyd . Anyone with any knowledge watching this fight could clearly see that it was just a matter of time before the fight would come to an end with Floyd’s hands being raised.

Anyone with a knowledge of boxing knows Ortiz is a slow starter and a strong finisher.

That sucker punch could have killed Ortiz, and Mayweather would still be ranting at Larry Merchant, who was incensed by Mayweather’s cheap shot and uncalled for, personal attack on Merchant during the post fight interview. Protect yourself at all times, but don’t sucker punch someone who just hugged you and apologized for a head butt and didn’t even get the chance to defend himself.

If anyone is on “roids” it’s the wife beater and ranting Floyd Mayweather.

I can’t wait to see Pac Man wipe up the floor with this ghetto thug and knock him into the cheap seats.
