Referee was asleep, and didn’t do his job.

But they were put in the middle, they had their gloves touch, and then Ortiz leaned into mayweather and made head-to-head contact. That looks like “starting boxing again” to me, although apparently Ortiz only meant to kiss Mayweather on the cheek.

But if the other boxer steps in and puts his head into my head, I’m going to take that as a sign we’ve started boxing, and slug him. Because he certainly isn’t allowed to do that during a break. Ortiz initiated contact, and it’s his own dumb fault.

Ortiz went to embrace Mayweather and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

He deserved to be knocked out!

Sure, but not when his guard was down.
