Manny didn’t want to hurt him after he’d taken him completely apart just as with Cotto and Margarito etc. KO theory, of course, makes sense when a fight is competitive but this was a jog the entire fight.
Bradley’s closest round in the fight was connecting one fewer than Manny - overwhelmingly the rounds were two to one in power connects. You couldn’t take LSD and come up with Bradley winning 7 rounds. I don’t like wrestling I don’t like UFC but I love boxing. As a fight fan that spends money on it over the years, they have me totally demoralized. The only thing that could get me over this is an investigation that shows a fix. If the best judges cant score a fight, it’s all over. I think I’m done with boxing now if this can happen to just to schedule a re-match. Taken in the same year as Mayweather punching Ortiz twice on the break on a fight he was actually losing - I mean what’s the point anymore ?
I look forward to the day that Floyd Mayweather gets his foul mouth shut but that statement above is just wrong. While Ortiz had some moments, two of the three official scorecards had Mayweather pitching a shutout as did most ringside observers.
Mayweather did not technically hit Ortiz on a break. The referee had stopped the action to deduct a point from Ortiz for a head butt (the most blatant I've seen in years) and had ordered the fighters to fight. Ortiz, for whatever reason, didn't defend himself (and actually appeared to be trying to hug Mayweather). Mayweather did nothing wrong.
After that head butt, Ortiz would not have grounds to complain if Mayweather had pulled a gun from his trunks and shot Ortiz.
