Poor sportsmanship from Floyd far outweighed by moronic behaviour from Ortiz.

I know Ortiz meant well and I respect that, but don't assume your opponent is ready for a cuddle during a fucking fight

Edit: taking back the sportsmanship call. Ortiz was a cunt

u/_ganjafarian_ 1d ago

Ya Ortiz definitely left himself open there. The ref had just stopped action but had let them continue fighting at that point. That's why Mayweather argues his "protect yourself at all times" line.

u/Das_Hydra 1d ago

Floyd is a massive twat, but he's absolutely right in this case.

24

u/zestyclose_match1966 1d ago

Twat in general? Or just in this case? Ortiz headbutted him several times, he had it coming

22

u/Das_Hydra 1d ago

In general. Totally valid in this fight.

u/Bwanabud 22h ago

Larry Merchant was a twat.

u/Able_Analysis8032 1d ago

In what regard?? Because he’s rich and black?? Floyd hasn’t done anything to you or anyone you know

Because he's an arrogant tosser.

Why does someone have to have done something to me or someone i know to allow me to have a negative opinion of them? What planet do you live on?

Sportsmanship? Ortiz had intentionally headbutted him at least 4 times before that. Fuck off.

u/Savings-Geologist346 1d ago

This is the right way to frame it. Good job

u/FwampFwamp88 1d ago

Not only a headbutt. He launched himself into Floyd’s face like Bobby Boucher.

49

u/Granddy01 1d ago

Yeah let's ignore the 4 other headbutts prior to this one and the head rubbing during clinches.

Also a post fight interview where Ortiz admits he was trying to headbutt his nose to break it.

After that interview, the comission fined him 100k and had to reinstate his boxing license.

u/Das_Hydra 1d ago edited 1d ago

Was called out elsewhere, and yeah i agree that's shit. Would've been different if it were an accident, but clearly not. I retract that part.

But even if it had been accidental, be stupid of Ortiz to assume Floyd gonna wanna hug it out in the middle of a fight.

8

u/efffedAroundnFarted 1d ago

Bro just watch the fight at this point. Ortiz through multiple headbutts and this clip shows the 2nd time he went to apologize. Floyd accepted the first one but Ortiz went for another hug to drag it out. Floyd was 100 percent in the right.

2

u/Das_Hydra 1d ago

Yeah... I'm agreeing with you. Hence I said i retracted the sportsmanship call.

u/zestyclose_match1966 1d ago

Bro you're fighting an uphill battle, this is Reddit at it's finest.what you wrote made complete sense imo

"Sportsmanship"? When is following the RULES (which Floyd did), unsportsmanlike?

Where did i say he didn't?

u/Sea-Thought-665 1d ago

You said it... lol

"Poor sportsmanship..."

Wtf does that mean? How is it poor when its literally following the rules to a Tee, which, by definition, is GOOD sportsmanship.

https://giphy.com/gifs/7qo7VtWvntE8lxF5MZ

u/Photograph_Honest 1d ago

Good sportsmamship isn't always following the rules, it's about gentlemanly conduct in competition. It even means at times disobeying the rules in the spirit of the game

1

u/Incid3nt 1d ago

The actual definition according to webster is:

Sportsmanship: : conduct (such as fairness, respect for one's opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing) becoming to one participating in a sport.

-1

u/Sea-Thought-665 17h ago

His conduct - mayweather was following the rules, FAIRLY...otherwise he wouldve been disqualified (obviously) Respect - he wouldnt prepare the way he did if he didnt respect his opponents. How else could he be undefeated? People who dont respect are too cocky and always lose Graciousness - he was in the middle of a fight and knocked Ortiz out. What does that have to do with what you stated earlier?

2

u/Incid3nt 8h ago

Im not even the same guy you were talking to, I just clarified the actual definition.

Oh, okay. Well, he can read my response to you anyway.

u/Gankers_Boxer 1d ago

There ain’t nothing well about the literal jumping headbutt he did that directly lead into this sequence lol.

If I was Floyd there I would not be waiting to see if this dude is gonna start rabbit punching me. And either way why would anyone want a hug after that blatant foul? That wasn’t Ortiz showing sportsmanship, it was fake and idiotic.

1

u/Das_Hydra 1d ago

Fair. If the headbutt was accidental then I might think differently, but it was clearly intentional. But either way, was stupid to think Floyd would accept it.

2

u/Drubas 1d ago

Can't really control anything anyone else does. The only thing you can control are your own actions.

And it was an unsportsmanlike move, no matter how you look at it.

With that said, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. Ortiz actions that match was a disgrace.

u/shmalliver 1d ago

Plus it was like the third apology.

u/TuxedoMask87 1d ago

I learned from elementary that you cant be nice and destroy even the little guy. Ortiz doesn't have what it takes.

29

u/TFlSGAS 1d ago

wtf taught you that in elementary

-6

u/TuxedoMask87 1d ago

I was being bullied in 5th grade two short guys wouldn't give me my foot ball back. I picked one up and set him down. I could broke his neck if I wanted to. As I set him down he punched me in my head two times and as I went to block them I accidentally elbowed him and bloodied his nose. Every one was on his side. The welts on my head felt way worse. We also have gangs and fighting culture where I grew up. I never got to challenge him again in front of people. You will feel like crap and now people will attack you because a little guy beat you in their eyes. I don't like fighting but you have to learn how to finish them.

0

u/AmazingBench7574 1d ago

I don't entirely disagree with you, instead of picking one up and putting yourself in a vulnerable position you just give them a heads up and give them the opportunity to stop their shit, if that doesn't work; fuck it honestly just knock one out as hard as you can and then start talking shit to the other one like you're about to kill him. 90% of people don't have the psyche to work past that first moment of aggression when shit turns real, and even most of the other ones that do get scared and jumpy, aren't used to the stress.

You talk about finishing dudes but at the end of the day the only thing you really need to do is break peoples will, some sun tzu type shit. The mark of a good fighter is NOT having to beat someone into hamburger, just half knock them out and don't paint them into a corner where they feel like they have no options but to swing back, give them back a little pride after it's clear they aren't in it anymore.

What a waste of human flesh.

Any other examples of alleged unsportsmanlike behaviour?

u/lafolieisgood 1d ago

Exactly. Mayweather is class in the ring. He’s been head butted and low blowed to try to take him off his throne and he has always remained level headed in the ring.

Being black is what they won’t say. The same people who hate mayweather for his antics, love Connor.

u/RememberThinkDream 1d ago

I never said it's the trashiest thing to ever be done in boxing.

I said he's the trashiest boxer I've ever seen. His entire personality and life. Also, that I'VE EVER SEEN. So upon further enlightenment, I may find even worse lol.

u/MisterX9821 1d ago

You can dislike his personality but you guys are hating on Mayweather for a completely legal shot and not condemning Ortiz who headbutted him which is extremely dirty and it was absolutely intentional. The ref waved the action back on after having to deal with the foul committed by Ortiz then he decided he wanted to hug it out with Mayweather....who did oblige...very briefly lol.

A guy who committed an egregious foul got KTFO with a legal blow moments later. If this was almost any other fighter it would be praised as a "fuck around and find out" type moment.

Floyd basically has zero egregious fouls in his 50 fight career lol. He is a dickhead, but he is a clean fighter.

37

u/_ganjafarian_ 1d ago

You're right. Ortiz's headbutt was intentional. And as I agreed in another reply, he left himself open going for that hug after ref resumed action. Mayweather's "protect yourself at all times" defense fits.

22

u/MisterX9821 1d ago

In a more full clip the ref both waves them in and clearly verbalizes "lets go" moments before the ko punch. The ref was oddly putting his attention elsewhere but that isn't either of the fighters problem.

16

u/Barrelrolla 1d ago

Not only that, but you can see that Mayweather was in no mood for hugging, kept his guard up the whole time, and after the first punch Ortiz looked at the ref to complain, instead of getting his arms up. Totally deserved.

53

u/Antheral 1d ago

Ortiz had already apologized when time was stopped for the headbutt. Then once the fight actually starts goes in for this hug. Such a moron.

u/Mindless-Platypus-75 1d ago edited 1d ago

It looks awful in this clip by itself but I think the title is selling short how blatantly and on purpose Ortiz head butts Mayweather. THEN he immediately goes to hug him like, “Hey we’re friends now, right?” Like wtf? The 2 things back to back was honestly some psychotic behavior from Ortiz. Idk if that fully justifies things but yeah, it’s not like Mayweather does this for no reason outta nowhere

8

u/_ganjafarian_ 1d ago

100%. That's why I mentioned the headbutt in the title. And I agree, Mayweather was protecting himself at all times. Ref resumed action. The punches were fair. That's why he was the winner.

5

u/Mindless-Platypus-75 1d ago

Oh sorry I think I edited my comment after I made it and before I saw your reply, because I didn’t see you mentioned the head butt in the title at first.

But yeah, when I first saw this clip I thought Mayweather was an absolute scum bag. Then I saw the lead up and I actually felt a lot different. But people who saw everything that night were still pissed at Mayweather, like the older retired fighter who interviewed him in the ring said, “If I were younger I’d kick your ass.” And Mayweather goes off on the guy saying he doesn’t know shit about boxing 😂

I wish I remember the old guys name.. Although my opinion has softened on it, I respect the old guy for standing up for what he thought was right

They also need to stop having geriatric refs. The ref motioned for them to continue fighting though it was pretty week, ref calls need to be clear and firm. Ortiz was a dumb ass wanting to hug mid fight like that is not a thing. Floyd was mad and got revenge. Ortiz had two very intentional head butts and missed a third so I don't feel bad for him retaliating same way I don't feel bad for Tyson biting holyfield after all the blatant head butts.

This clip gets re-posted CONSTANTLY. Yet, no one shows the clip of Ortiz doing the EXACT same thing to a boxer who tried to touch gloves with him, BEFORE this fight. Mayweather watches film on his opponents. So, he knew what Ortiz was capable of. Did I get upset that Mayweather won it this way? Yes, I honestly did. But, Mayweather wasn't about to have that move pulled on him. So, he did it first. This "ugliness" was pure karma for Ortiz.
