The way I look at it, and I try to put myself in Floyd's shoes, I just got my motherfucking lip busted open by this child who was fighting dirty from RD1 all the way to RD4. Referee warned him once in RD3 about the rushing in with the head, but if you check youtube, and the first video I posted on page 2, Ortiz did this shit for the entire fight. Floyd didn't complain, he didn't bitch to Cortez until the 4th time. By the 4th time, now see.. you injured me, now my lip is fucking broken open and anybody who knows Boxing knows that a cut can open up, get worse and seriously affect the outcome of a fight
Ortiz and his camp planned for this shit coming in, nobody can tell me different, their plan was to bust floyd open and work on the cut, hoping for a stoppage on cuts.
Floyd is a smart fucking fighter, and he's street, dont get that twisted. He's rich as a motherfucker but he's street as shit. As much as you hate him, and I'm a Sox fan and I can't stand the dude's attitude but Floyd is like the AJ Pierzynski of boxing. Love him or hate him, he will take advantage of any rule, period. And if Floyd had ended the fight that way and Ortiz hadn't been pulling this shit since the start of the fight, I wouldn't have agreed with it at all
Point I'm making, I don't think Floyd did anything wrong because I believe he was in his rights to retaliate, because Ortiz brought a punk street move to a boxing match and Floyd ended it with a punk street move
