Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Victor Ortiz Live Discussion

HBO's pay-per-view broadcast of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Victor Ortiz starts at 9 p.m. ET. For those of you eschewing the UFC's free show on Spike TV for boxing, here's where you can discuss the fight. (Note: We won't be supplying play-by-play of the event.)
For those interested in comprehensive coverage and round-by-round results, head on over to SBN's boxing blog, Bad Left Hook. Scott Christ will take good care of you.
Scott's take on the fight, from Bad Left Hook's staff predictions:
I don't have much to add with this one, really. It's a Floyd Mayweather Jr fight -- chances are, he waltzes through and gets a one-sided decision. Ortiz will be dangerous early, but his only chance is a puncher's chance. He has to catch Floyd, and then follow up. He has to knock him out. He cannot outbox him, cannot beat him on points. He really just can't do it. He's not good enough.
The only concern I have here is that Mayweather, as noted before, has to "get old" at some point. It can come one of two ways: A fight he survives that is harder than expected, and thus he retires, or a fight he doesn't survive, where everything creeps up on him and gets him beaten. I don't see it happening here, and frankly I don't think Ortiz makes it all the way to the finish line either. I'm guessing he doesn't come off his stool after nine rounds, all of which will be Mayweather's on the scorecard. As Floyd picks up steam, his straight right will continue to batter Ortiz, and eventually, it will be into submission. Mayweather RTD-9
Enjoy the fight.

Did you see that shit? Ortiz is walking in at 164 to Floyd’s 150. He better make that shit count.
"A guy in Texas came up to me and told me ‘Frye you're not mixed martial arts, you're no holds barred’, and I said you're god damn right partner." ~ Don Frye
Insane.
Ortiz is huge for 147 (how was he at 140 two fights ago?!) but Floyd has been small for a long time. Speed kills and I suspect it will again tonight.
"Someone is WRONG on the internet. What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!"
-Randall Munroe
Yeah, that's what I figure.
Until someone shows me they can actually move around the ring with Floyd without getting touched up, I don’t see anybody beating him. Manny is the only one who has that kind of generally quickness, but he isn’t necessarily as disciplined that we’ve seen (or that he’s been required too be).
"A guy in Texas came up to me and told me ‘Frye you're not mixed martial arts, you're no holds barred’, and I said you're god damn right partner." ~ Don Frye
With Manny having a physical issue last fight (legs "locking up")
and being distracted by his fame, rapidly disappearing fortune, congressional duties, entourage, and ignoring his coaches wishes to quit playing basketball and shit like that, I think this is the best time for Floyd to agree to the fight. And I’ve convinced myself that he’s fighting an aggressive southpaw with punching power to test how he’d be able to handle an upcoming bout with Manny. If Floyd gets a stoppage tonight without getting his bell rung even like Mosley tagged him in the 2nd, I think he pursues the Pacquiao fight. If he faces any real level of adversity then he retires again and fights Amir Khan next December or something.

Floyd’s defense is impregnable and his style is impetuous.

DLH was a warrior and fought anybody and everybody. Floyd (and a lot of boxers) could learn from him.
besides, Sweet Pea kicked Chavez’ ass.

HE CERTAINLY DID! I watched that fight live as a wee lad. I don’t like JCC, never have, and I despise his son, but he was a Mexican hero. Canelo is getting there.
I’ve got nothing against DLH, but he wasn’t as proficient as JCC, nor as beloved.

Aw shit
I thought that was putos.
True story – my grandparents were from Malaga and Cadiz, Spain and came here in the 1930s. They had my dad and his sister in San Leandro, CA in the 40s, but back then being a foreigner was a liability. So they busted their ass to eliminate their accents, and only spoke english around their kids.
To this day, most of the Spanish I know is from talking with my GParents when they were alive- and I know way more than my dad. I used to be almost fluent but now am shit because of the lack of practice.
BOOSH

Crazy Mexican multibillionaire was funding it.
Like if Bill Gates ate burritos kind of multibillionaire named Carlos Slim. Fight had to be in Mexico City, but the guy could easily guarantee those monies. In one fight Pacquiao could make double what every UFC champ combined does in a whole year. Probably would have made 80 mil after PPV/Gate, not including that Nike/HP/other sponsor money.

Easily. But if that happened Pacquiao would surely lose.
Fighting in Mexico City is a completely different beast than fighting anywhere else—it’s high as fuck and extremely contaminated. Alvarez would win by virtue of having younger lungs.

His defense is a huge liability and this fight was NOT going his way since the KD until that flurry.
I’d be way more stoked on his future if he had been given the time to finish this naturally. Gomez was not in any danger that he needed to be saved from.

Right, but slow starts are killer unless you have an elite chin and great heart.
I’m not sold on his chin and his defense was bad, as usual. Not his best performance, but he should keep growing and close up that slow start issue. I doubt he’ll ever have above average defense.

could put on insane weight after weigh in. I think the big issue is guys “making” weight and then magically coming in much heavier, indicating something fishy happened. I know cause of the Gatti controversy, they started weighing boxers twice so it must have some sort of benefit.

Yes it does.
It’s bigger in MMA, but you can definitely bully with size in boxing. Even the clinch in boxing is useful to put blood in your opponents shoulders and sap the snap off their punches, which the stronger guy has a big advantage in.
I compare weight in boxing compare to MMA to being inches vs. yards in football. Boxing is much more a game of inches than MMA, which is still a game of yardage in most fights if that analogy makes sense. And being bigger gives you that extra little bit. That said, Floyd has always fought small and quick and he’ll most likely handle it well.

Do you think Ortiz has a good shot?
I watched Ortiz/Berto earlier (hell of a fight) and I feel like he’s got as good a shot as anybody does outside of Pacquiao. I give Floyd a lot of credit for taking this fight.

by lowellthehammer on Sep 17, 2011 11:37 PM EDT up reply actions
I've talked myself into it.
Floyd loves his philly shell and shoulder roll. It’s so natural and habitual for him and puts him right in line for a power shot from Ortiz. And if he’s gotten old (he’s 34) or put on ring rust (from his year+ layoff) then he can’t rely on his handspeed and reflexes and will get clipped by a man you do not ever want to get clipped by.
That won’t happen though. Floyd is too fast, too talented, too good. He’ll jab the fuck out of Ortiz, find his rhythm in round 4/5, start letting the right hand go and make Ortiz quit on the stool after the 10th. He’s an artist and we’re going to watch his art.
But maybe…

Regardless, the fault lies on the ref. He didn’t do his job correctly. HE made the mistake, Mayweather capitalized. Ortiz was rape-hugging Mayweather who came in with his hands up ready to fight. He left his guard down after an intentional headbutt. That’s a mistake.
but the ref called time to take the point...
I never heard time called in (unless I missed something…). I saw the 3 fighters bro-hug,. but I also saw the ref looking in the other direction never resuming the fight , then counting Ortiz out. Weird sequence, what can you do.

All I’m saying is. Ortiz intentionally headbutted him. It was obvious. That’s different than a slip up. If you’re going to fight like that and then let your guard down, you deserve what’s coming. I honestly don’t know the rules for boxing, because I never watch it, but I clearly heard the bell ring. I fel the ref was at fault for not paying attention. Mayweather took advantage of an opening, like a good fighter does. Hard lesson learned.

Completely not true at all at any level.
I like boxers like Bernard Hopkins, who is notoriously bending the rules. Ortiz straight out did not care and launched himself into an illegal attack. Mayweather made him pay for it, and I think it was within the rules. That’s a discussion that will flesh out over the next few days. But I’m legitimately happy with this. Floyd has ring IQ and is smart and he used it to win and people are all upset that he was “dishonorable” in a sport where his opponent BLATANTLY AND INTENTIONALLY FOULED THE SHIT OUT OF HIM JUST BEFORE.
"Someone is WRONG on the internet. What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!"
-Randall Munroe
No.
There’s a huge difference between losing your shit in the middle of a punching combination and launching your head at the guy, and the cold, calculating assault that Floyd pulled. Ortiz just lost his goddamn mind and did something completely illegal. Floyd KNEW Ortiz wasn’t ready to fight, accepted the hug, even acted like he was going to reciprocate, waited until Ortiz was just far enough away and then suckerpunched him.
What Floyd did was deceptive and plain fucking evil. I can forgive Ortiz for losing his mind because he’s frustrated. Floyd knew exactly what the fuck he was doing.
You can honestly see the pissed off look on his face that screams “I’m going to hit this dude just for the fuck of it, whether or not it is legal.”

Ortiz jumped in to a headbutt.
You’re saying that’s instinct? Does he train his flying headbutt attack?
Floyd has ring IQ and handspeed. He did what he needed to do to get Ortiz to drop his hands and then punched him in the mouth. It wasn’t honorable or valiant or chivalrous but this is a sport and he won within the rules after Ortiz intentionally broke them. If calmly following the rules is more damning than breaking them, I don’t know how sports work.

Ever been really, really mad at someone? You do crazy stuff sometimes, and yes, a headbutt is an instinct when you’re that close to someone and that pissed off at them.

If calmly following the rules is more damning than breaking them, I don’t know how sports work.It means there’s something wrong with the rules. Namely, in how Cortez was enforcing them. Had he been doing his job, this would’ve been a DQ, or Ortiz would’ve been aware the fight was restarting and had his hands up.
Then blame Cortez. Make him the bad guy.
But the unanimous outcry of “FUCK YOU FLOYD!” is crazy since what he did seems to be legal, just not honorable. Ortiz did something dishonorable AND against the rules and the whole this is because Cortez didn’t do a great job as a ref.

I blame both.
Ortiz I can forgive. Like I said, in the heat of the moment, the dude plain ol’ lost his mind. He realized he fucked up and tried to apologize twice right after. What Floyd did was dirty and just plain evil, even if not illegal, but Cortez is still the worst offender since he allowed it all to happen by being just staggeringly incompetent.
Fouls happen. I'm not going to bury Ortiz for this.
He fucked up bad but shit happens. Cortez did the worst. Floyd did what he always does which was be smart, vicious, and win. Reminds me of Nick Diaz no-showing the GSP presser. It’s so in character and so in tune with all the reasons I’ve always liked Diaz’s personality. Just like what Floyd did in the ring. It’s so in character for him as a boxer that I can’t be mad at him for it.
You nailed it below. I said Floyd “did what he needed to do to make Ortiz drop his hands.” When I was accused of trolling, you said “It was definitely calculated.” Isn’t “calculating” one of the main things you’d use to describe Floyd’s performances and in-ring abilities?

Mayweather is the one who did his job right.
Ortiz struck with his head in a boxing match. Cortez looked away for too long. Mayweather punched a guy during a boxing match.
Floyd clearly thought the fight was on because I put his hands up when Ortiz came to hug him. Once he realized that Ortiz wasn’t fighting during a goddamn fight he took his opportunity and punched him in the face. And he won for it.

I love watching Floyd, but wanted an Ortiz win just for shits and giggles.
But that was a clearly intentional jumping headbutt. Completely illegal and intentional. No way that was an accident. Ortiz paused, duckd, and jumped into that headbutt. Totally illegal. There’s at least controversy over if what Mayweather did was legal or not. He bent the rules while Ortiz blatantly disrespected them and Floyd still won. That’s hilarious to me.

Your account sounds more like a real housewives episode
than an athletic competition. That Mayweather “won” whatever that was and “that’s hilarious” to you is depressing.
If anybody deserves hate, it's the ref for letting it be unclear if that was legal or not.
I thought it was on. Looks like Floyd did too, so did Ortiz since he was allowed out of the neutral corner after a break. The ref didn’t do a great job, but to me it looked like time was back on since the bell rang IIRC. So all the complaining sounds like “How dare Floyd Mayweather throw punches during a fight while his opponent’s hands were at their waist!”
"Someone is WRONG on the internet. What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!"

Sure
I totally see how you’re making this argument in good faith. Not drunk trolling at all.
Besides,who cares if the ref made a mockery of the competition? All thatmattersis that Mayweather is “hilarious.”
I'm 100% not trolling.
People love to hate Floyd. I love to people watch. I think all three guys are at fault on some level here. Ortiz threw a clear, blatant, illegal flying fucking headbutt in a boxing match. Floyd dishonorably took advantage of Ortiz’s low hands after an apology. The ref created confusion about whether the fight was on or still on break. Nobody is clear but all the hate is at Floyd because people have a love affair with hating him.
Either way, Floyd was up on every round. Ortiz was down and got dirty with it. Why is Mayweather the only bad guy?

Never said Mayweather is the only bad guy.
But I just don’t understand your unabashed glee at that result.
I mean, I despise the guy’s character, but I really like watching him fight. I feel like I learn something about boxing every time. I want to see Floyd Mayweather fight a full, fair fight because I want to see him fight. When he wins in early rounds because of a dirty shot, it means that I don’t get to see what was shaping up to be a decently good test of his skills.
And yes, Ortiz’s headbutt was absolutely intentional and dirty. And his apology doesn’t make sense. I like watching the kid fight, but I’m not sure he’s all there in the head.
it was the bitch moves of bitch moves.
yeah the headbutt was dirty, and he was immediately deducted a point, no warning. that’s fucking fair. but the ref never restarted the fight, was still instructing the commission on the deduction.
ortiz goes to make his fake apology. whatever, if you don’t buy it, that’s fine, make him pay on the restart. you don’t fucking take a cheap shot while the ref isn’t looking, when the ref hasn’t instructed you to start yet, and when the other dude’s hands are down like you’re a goddamn coward.

I don’t even know how to put my thoughts into words over the end of that boxing match.
I guess that was legal, and it followed an obvious illegal headbutt, but damn, that was dirty. Ric Flair would be proud.
What an amazing villain Floyd is. This will only help fuel the desire to see him fight Pac. What drama.
Dirty doesn’t mean illegal but that was something else. If you missed it, … Ok, hold up, May just went after Merchant!
May tells Merchant he doesn’t know shit about boxing. Classy Larry says if he was 50 years younger he would kick Floyd’s ass. WTH?
Ortiz landed an illegal headbutt, point taken, they hug, ref looking elsewhere, Floyd knocks out an unsuspecting Ortiz with 2 punches.
Amazingly, Ortiz is ok with all of this and is apologizing to Floyd. Kind of a blown opportunity for him there.
I guess the only thing to say is, sometimes these things happen in boxing.
May will take the heat but I think ref Joe Cortez deserves most of it. He was nowhere to be found during that exchange. May took advantage.

Our operational manuals.
our insane. As a mechanic, secondary side, I was expected to know how to operate the entire reactor system, including equipment I would never be legally allowed to touch. I had to work on equipment that was so expensive, the US government didn’t technically own. Needless to say, the “official” rules made it impossible to do our jobs. So you did have to know exactly how to bend or break the rules to do your job.
I am willing to bet that your instructors were not allowed to “physically” correct you at any point in your career. That is not the case for nukes when we are in training. It is a very weird little world unlike any other part of the military.

I'm done with boxing
That whole situation was crap. First the headbutt then the ref pausing the fight and never restarting it but counting Ortiz out while staring off at the time keeper. It was either a setup to sell a rematch with Mayweather as the heel or seriously should be declared a no contest or DQ win for Ortiz. The ref never restarted the action and then he straight vanished after the fight. Floyds tirade on Merchant was just more proof that Floyd really is Floyd Mayweather JR.
How is it that Cortez is staring off but then (without seeing what hit Ortiz) starts the count.
Smells like the stink of scripted pro wrestling.
I was absolutely disgusted and will wash my hands of the sport forever.
That whole event looked staged staged. From the headbutt to the sucker punch to the ref never restarting the action and not looking at the fighters to Floyd going off on Merchant. I don’t care to see Floyd at all … Not even to see him get beat. He killed the sport of boxing for me tonight.

Why is Mayweather
taking all of the criticism? Was I the only one that saw Ortiz blatantly headbutt Floyd? He initiated it and Floyd capitalized on it. Far game. Just because you don’t like Floyd, doesn’t mean you have to completely ignore what Ortiz did.. Seriously, most of the commenter’s have probably never watched a boxing match and decided they’d randomly criticize…
Because this ending fits into perfectly..
into the minds of people that already disliked him. This is a perfect storm of controversy. No one is happy with the results, other than the people counting the money. Everyone feels like they have been screwed and Floyd is already a lightning rod for controversy.

Guys, to clarify:
1. Ortiz restarted the bout. This can be seen in replays, and it was also confirmed in the post-fight presser.
2. Ortiz is looking at the timekeeper to restart the clock.
3. There’s no such thing as a suckerpunch inside the time of a fight. Ortiz failed to keep his hands up. That’s on him.

It was a poor job of officiating and there is no way protocol is to restart a fight and then turn your back to the fight. Piss poor job IMO.

There’s no such thing as a suckerpunch inside the time of a fight. Ortiz failed to keep his hands up. That’s on him.
That’s such a bullshit way to sweep what happened under the rug. If you’re alright with guys winning fight like that Fagan, then cool, but you can’t say you were satisfied with the way Mayweather won, and if you are, you’re not a fight fan.
There’s no way you can say he actually proved anything tonight by winning in that fashion.

From Wikipedia:
“Floyd “Sucker Punch” Mayweather, Jr. (born Floyd Sinclair; February 24, 1977), is an American professional boxer."

Illegal or Legal
Mayweather should legally change his name to Douchey McDoucherson.
