Comments Thread For: Like it or Not, Larry… Victor Ortiz Had it Coming

[jmmfan]

or mebbe his anger at getting rammed in the face??? no thats not human at all tho...floyd is officially just a cheap shotter. thats tho only way he could win.

It's actually not human. It's closer to something an animal would do.

What Ortiz did was an adrenaline fueled, spur of the moment mistake. No excuses for the guy, and for the record, I don't even like him, but that's just reality. He did something ****** and probably intentional, but he doesn't have a dirty past, there's no reason to assume it was anything but an emotional response in the biggest fight of his life. It wasn't some cold and calculated plan, unlike Mayweather's. What Mayweather did was bait Ortiz into an undefensive stance, you know, the stance that can get you killed when you take a punch that hard to the side of your head, and then sucker punch him. Ortiz committed a mistake and apologized for it, Mayweather committed a disgrace.

If he's so good, and I believe he is, he would have thrown that "eye for an eye" bull**** out the window (which became irrelevant anyways since Ortiz was deducted a point), accepted Ortiz's apology and then ruined him down the stretch. That's what a man would do, not a coward. Aand don't start with the 'how many times does he need to hug him' crap, that'd only be a valid excuse if Mayweather didn't play along solely to land a sucker punch and actually gave Ortiz some kind of motion that he was done with the crap and ready to get started. He didn't, he tricked him to get a cheap win, plain and simple. Spin that **** however you want, you'll continue to be wrong.

not sure. ortiz was looking competitive to me roughin up floyd and landing some good shots.

bwahaha. he was shutting down and wouldnt have seen the 7th round. eye would have been closed in the 5th and the left eye would have followed

i thought BPP made a thread about that bipolar kid, larryx

[jbpanama]

Hahahahahaha

FITZ, is hitting the SAUCE again!!!

[brick wall]

at the end of the day they both made a choice...ortiz headbutted floyd like a madman and floyd suckerpunched ortiz to get the win. both made poor choices and they deserve to be criticized.

Yes, Floyd had every right to cold **** Ortiz after a blatantly intentional headbutt, but come on, Lyle, get off Floyd's d1ck. Everyone knows that Floyd has never faced competition as solid as Barrera, Morales, and Marquez all in their primes. Say what you want about Pacquiao facing Floyd's "table scraps", but at least Manny had the guts to face Cotto and Margarito who Floyd avoided like the plague. As for Larry Merchant, he's always told Floyd, the ignorant bully what most hardcore fans have on their mind. His opposition is soft, and when Floyd threw a tantrum, Larry stood up to him just like Showtime's Jim Gray would've done. By the way, Lyle, what a$$ kissing by Larry to Manny would you be referring to for the win over Mosley? It was on Showtime so I don't recall Merchant interviewing Manny when the fight ended.

Ortiz wasnt doing nothing to floyd he wasnt prepared at all he needs to go back to 140 or fight berto

he cant go back to 140 and i wonder how long he will even be able to stay at 47

nonsense. floyd vs gatti was a shut down. ortiz vs floyd was competitve that ortiz even won a round and was winning the 4rth round aswell before the incident. floyd would've prolly won anyways but in no way , shape or form would've been a shut down, that's just nuthuggery talking there.

[Pony Boy]

Let's hope HBO finally see what us viewers/customers see when Larry Merchant shows his true color. His racist and needs to be replaced.

No, it would have really been Gatti 2. Why? Well Ortiz had absolutely no answer for Floyd's lead right hands. Floyd was loading them up and landing them at will. Ortiz had absolutely no answer for it. And with Ortiz bloating up 17 pounds within 24 hours, he would have really been hurt later on. Most who saw the fight had Floyd winning every round, including the 4th where again, he was just landing right hands and right hands over and over again.
