Mayweather said he got hit with a dirty shot and it’s protect yourself at all times and he ended the bout. Ortiz took a dirty shot with the head butt and Floyd got him back. As they watch the replay Floyd said it was “Protect yourself at all times. He did something dirty. Mayweather talks crap to Larry Merchant, says he will never give him “a fair shake” and says HBO needs to fire him. Merchant says, “I wish I was 50 years younger and I’d kick your ass.”  Bottom line is Ortiz did try to head butt him first. The replay is hilarious because the ref’s mouth is wide open we he noticed Ortiz was out.  Oh man, this is almost pro wrestling-esque tonight. I really still can’t believe what I saw.
