Mayweather vs. Ortiz: What Really Happened?







 
What really happened during the Mayweather vs. Ortiz fight? Were we ripped off by a staged fight? Or was it just a pure example of dirty fighting by Floyd Mayweather Jr.?


Whatever this showing was intended to be, it was poor form on both boxers.

More than anything else, boxing after all is a spectator sport. They have to make the match fun and not be so obvious about whatever really happens behind the scenes.

Unfortunately this was not avoided and this ended up one of the most controversial fights of the decade. I'm glad Mayweather's opponent wasn't Pacquiao. No wonder Mayweather seemed scared of Pacquiao. For sure Manny Pacquiao wouldn't go down without a "real" fight.

I tried to look for the video of the knockout but it's no longer available on Youtube.com, you may view it here though for results, replays, and reactions.
