Video: Floyd Mayweather Knocks Out Victor Ortiz, Controversially


Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz certainly provided an interesting evening, even if it came via a very weird knockout and even weirder post-fight interview.

Mayweather knocked out Ortiz in the fourth round, as Ortiz apologized to him for an earlier headbutt that had led to a point deduction. Afterwards, Mayweather got testy with HBO’s Larry Merchant, who is known to press fighters who win under precarious circumstances.

Here’s video. As you can tell from the reaction of the bar patrons in said video, some people were a little annoyed with the fashion in which the fight ended.

    It was a good fight. In a boxing ring, when the bell rings, you don’t apologies (fair)!!. In a boxing ring when the bell rings you don’t headbutt (unfair), In a forum you don’t post stupid comments cause you bet your money on the wrong person :) (fair), In a fight with Floyd you don’t bet on the other person (unfair)

    cheap shot, no that’s called spanking the ass of a punk who heads butts you then tries to act like you’re suddenly cool.  This is boxing this ain’t fugging Barney.  You headbutt a champion you betta expect that he about to get in that ass.  Ortiz is the beotch.

    Never drop your hands in a fight. What an idiot.

    Tyson asked the same of Holyfield after losing the first fight.  Headbutt didn’t work… let’s try ear bitting next time.  Wasn’t it obvious from the first 3.5 rounds?

  • Gfbd999

    You sir are a moron (fair), and Mayweather is a stupid, cheap-shot artist! (Fair) The dude was trying to show some sportsmanship and apologize for an obvious lapse in judgement (fair) and Mayweather took a cheap shot! (unfair)

  • Farebrotha

    Ortiz is a punk, if you gonna head butt then punch after the break , I agree with what Floyd did, take it to the street, forget about boxing and knock Ortiz punk ass out !!!!!!! FIRST RULE IN BOXING. “Protect Yourself At All Times” I guess orphan boy forgot that one important lesson……

  • Kaffnkuia

    Ok Headbutting NOT GOOD, at least he was making it right and apologizing and then Cheap Shot!!! Right up there with ear biting man, Lets Go REMATCH!!!!

  • JNOLAN19

    This another black-eye for the sport of boxing, no matter who wins and how! How in the hack can you even post some of these posts people? It seems to be more trash talking on this site then on the actual fighters! Been a boxing fan way over forty- five years and this happens!

    This is ridiculous. I can’t see how some of you people can actually defend Mayweather. He is a cocky, dirty, and downright piece of shit. He wants to be considered the best boxer in history yet this is what he has to do this to win his fights when he actually has competition. He had no respect by doing this and it just goes to show the type of person/fighter he is. No wonder why boxing is a dying sport when everytime I see something to do with it, it is surrounded by controversies and retards. Wait until Manny destroys this cocky punk and it’ll finally shut his mouth. Whoever thinks Mayweather did nothing wrong is semi-retarded due to the fact that Ortiz was just trying to make things right. Idiots.

  • Jjjjjjj

    youre an idiot hahaha.

  • Gamerchic512

    No the the people who thinks Mayweather did something dirty don’t know anything about boxing and also didn’t pay attention to the fight and the replays of what happenend.  Ortiz gave a headbutt to Mayweather then in the corner he apoligized once with a hug and kiss. Then Mayweather shuck his head ” No u headbutted me in my mouth”. Then Mayweather went to his right side almost in the middle on the ropes and Ortiz apoligizes twice and they both toched gloves. Then Cortiz after deducting the point Cortiz swings his arms and said lets go…in a way to come on and fight. Cortiz did not grab the gloves like he may should have, but he didn’t stand in between.. he meant lets go fight.  Finally Mayweather is ready to fight and for the third time Ortiz wanted to hug and you can see Mayweather looking at his gloves wondering what are you doing..then Mayweather kinda touch his gloves and banged him like an aware fighter should have done and aware of the 2 seconds on the clock. The questions and criticizing should go toward Ortiz and Cortez.  If you want to say its a cheap hit then when someone get up from being knocked down then it shouldn’t be allowed to strike a boxer until he get his head together. duh. Stop worrying about who u like and don’t like.

    I personally think Micky Ward should come outta retirement and fight Floyd Mayweather, I know for a fact Mayweather would kick his ass for 8 rounds and Micky Ward would knock Floyd out in the 9,10,11, or 12th rd………..Micky Ward is a fearless man who would go inside and literally take away Floyd shoulder roll and Micky would kill him wit body shots,Floyd cant punch unless its a counter or lead hand or side hand shoulder roll counter or lead…..
