Not sure if anyone else noticed it, but Ortiz was being aggressive with his head and there were some more subtler butts going on. Either this fight was fixed, which when taking into consideration the hype, the fight, and the interview, it felt like a wrestling match, or Ortiz was trying to fight dirty, poorly timed his headbutt, felt embarrassed, tried to cover up his intentions, and put the match in a unique circumstance, which he caused. In a round about way, Floyd's interview reveals that he felt one cheap shot deserves another...though he didn't want to say that outright.
If this drama hadn't occurred, there's always the slim chance that Ortiz wins. But let's all be honest here, Floyd was out-boxing, out-power-punching, and was much more ring efficient. This match was getting ugly and one-sided fast. It was a horrible ending and both fighters are to blame...personally, if you want to argue that the match was fixed, I couldn't steer you otherwise.
Floyd did show that he's as villainous as ever, but he's still got it.
In other news, anyone else think that 50 cent looked a little different? Personally, he looked HIV positive...lost a bunch of weight and looked rather jaunt compared to his past form.
