Re: The End of Mayweather v.s. Ortiz Gif Inside:
Look at the official stoppage time.
Which, of course, lines up with the same time as the break and timeout to assess the point deduction against Ortiz.
"Referee" Cortez did his usual incompetent job, and missed a good fight.
The fight hadn't been restarted, and Cortez was lining up the timekeeper when Mayweather took the cheap shots.
Hitting on the break is a foul. If a fighter can't continue due to damage from a foul, the offending fighter loses.
By the rules, Mayweather lost. Course, this IS boxing, so he wins.
"Protect yourself at all times"?
So, I guess it's OK to walk up and knock a guy off his stool between rounds.
Shoulda "protected himself", right?
