MAYWEATHER VS. ORTIZ - AFTERMATH.. SEPT 2011

Mayweather VS.  Ortiz - Aftermath ..SEPT 2011.
 I predicted a victory for Mayweather and a dominating win, I also predicted a KNOCKOUT if the opportunity came. Well , Mayweather was frustrating the young bull , those counter punches and making Ortiz miss more punches than ever in his career was wearing thin on the Mexican Warrior.
When a fighter is frustrated and getting beat down,, alot of fighters do illegal things , like Tyson biting Holyfields ear , or Duran quiting in the famous " NO MAS " fight .
 But what Ortiz did or didn't do was unreal.. First off he intentionally head butted his opponent and from the looks of it , he tries to hug and kiss mayweather , apologizing . Check the replays , it was a very bizarre scene unfolding in front of your eyes. Then they meet at center ring. The referee says " fight" Ortiz is still trying to apologize and hug Mayweather , but Floyd has no more inclinations for forgiveness and when it appears Ortiz is watching or looking at the referee, I don't know why? I mean your opponent is pissed because you tried to cut the Pretty Boys face, well anyways Floyd hits him with a solid left hook , and Ortiz stands straight up to take the final straight right cross to the jaw.

In a flash , Oritz drops to the canvas , and within seconds , he is counted out by a Boxer who is not known to have great punching power. In other words , Ortiz showed no guts or courage to get himself off the canvas and engage in this brawl he created by being aggressive and doing a illegal head butt.
 What I don't understand is Everyone is crucifying Mayweather , for being unsportmans and dirty,Well folks I used to box and street fight , when someone just hurt you , no matter what the means , human nature tells you get him back with a low blow or head butt or better yet a powerful unexpected 2 punch combination.  Its called pay back , its called fighting , it's called protect yourself at all times. For goodness sakes people this is a fight , this is war , this is personal , this is unpredictable. When people fight , people get cut , bruised , suffer sprains, breaks, concussions , people get hurt. This is probably the only sport or game where the key to win is to hurt the other guy, In other words , they get paid to kicked each others asses'..
 The other point I don't understand that was a sucker punch ? What? Once again how can anything be a sucker punch when both people know they are fighting one another. To me , and correct me if I'm wrong , the definition of a sucker punch is when someone hits you when your not expecting a fight , like your walking down the street and someone just punches you at of no where. What mayweather did was not illegal and though may not be sportsmanlike , like all great Champions they make you pay for any mistakes or lapses in concentration. In my opinion Ortiz was more frustrated than hurt , and when those blows landed , sure they were solid good shots , he thought this is my way of a beat down. History lesson he has lost three times and had 2 draws in his career and in those losses and draws he heart , desire and ability to come back were in question, and on the biggest night of his young career , it came back to haunt him and ultimately play havoc on his psyche and desire to fight. He flat out quit like the loser does when he cant stand the beating he was taking or about to take.
  lastly , mayweather's postal rant with Larry merchant was bizarre and comical and put boxing closer to Professional wrestling than Professional Combat sports.. Mixed martial arts is gaining momentum because you see better fight cards and  classier participants. Boxing and Mayweather had that golden opportunity , for atleast a night become the most important event in combative sports this year. But instead we saw two classless and useless fighters put on a disgraceful and shameful display of sportmanship and true championship character. Instead we saw characters from the Wizard of oz. The lion with no courage .. or the Straw man , if I only had a brain.. and the tin man , no heart.. Boxing has a long proud tradition of great champions. Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano , Sugar Ray Robinson , , all of them would be rolling in their graves if they just witnessed this so called Championship fight. Instead we saw what's wrong with today's boxing. Cocky , insecure , disrespectful Champions who would not stand a chance against the Champions of yester year.
Until my next Sports story.. Take Care ..THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @2011
