The ref said fight and he did.If those punches were not legal Floyd would of been disqualified,so the punches were legal and within the rules,not like the brutal headbutt Ortiz hit Floyd with cause he couldn't land a punch on him.The only dirty part of that fight was the headbutt!And yes the ref did tell them to fight,he was looking at the time keepers table to start the clock.If you watch it again you'll see he motions them to fight.The dirtiest fight I've seen in boxing, Tyson ear biting doesn't even come close. Referee is not even telling them fight, he is still looking at the judges and here comes Floyd just bang. Ortiz is waiting for the referee for the go signal. Ortiz head butt is wrong and he knows it, what Floyd did was wrong and he is proud of it. It's like shooting an unarmed man.
so biting a part of a guys ear off is more acceptable than 2 clean punches that were thrown.The round was still going and he did it within the rules.To say something that dumb that this was worse than Tyson tells me you don't know boxing.The dirtiest fight I've seen in boxing, Tyson ear biting doesn't even come close.

So true,Ortiz already said he was sorry and hugged and even kissed mayweather on the cheek to say how sorry he was which was very nice of Ortiz but then a second time to hug again and then touch gloves means fight!There was nothing dirty about it. Ortiz shouldve protected himself at all time like any boxer should.
Cortez already motioned for them to fight and verbally said "lets go!" and the two combatants inched closer. Its not a rule that when a fighter wants to hug, the other one should hug as well. They already touched gloves and that should be "game on".
There was nothing dirty about this fight. Just Ortiz being lax and not paying attention and paying the price for it.

Ortiz was staring off in space and got lazy,many boxers have been ko'ed due to not paying attention.Its funny how if all the floyd haters thought this wasn't within the rules but mention nothing about the referee and I figued out why,cause it was LEGAL!
Mayweather scores a beautiful knockout against Ortiz.Best knockout in years:smile::smile::smile:
Funny you still commented on it though,oh wait a minute,yeah that was a great baseball game watched it right before the fight:smile:Roy Oswalt threw seven dominant innings, Raul Ibanez hit a grand slam and the Philadelphia Phillies clinched their fifth straight NL East title with a 9-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night.
Oh wait a minute, this is a pool forum,
"Never mind".

So long as he dodges Manny it doesn't matter what his record is.
Yep both cheap shots. Thats why they say protect your self at all times. I can't believe Ortiz took his eyes off Mayweather. Thats foolish on his part.
i didn't watch the fight knowing the outcome. Ortiz had to get set to throw a punch and mayweather is just to slick and quick.
As far as him ducking manny. None of us know the particulars and can't comment because we have no clue as to what their contracts state. No one would take a fight if the money or ring size and a load of other things aren't in their favor.
