If I heard "that's boxing at its best" one more time on Sunday, I was going to scream.
What was shaping as a good fight, was destroyed by a chain of events that left fight fans shaking their heads or completely enraged at the ending of the Floyd Mayweather-Victor Ortiz fight.
After a headbutt by Ortiz, the fight was stopped and eventually re-started by one of the fighters. Floyd Mayweather took advantage of Ortiz's naivety and knocked him silly when his hands were down. Many are blaming referee Joe Cortez for losing control of the fight including UFC president Dana White:
"Ref never sent a fighter to a neutral corner to take a point. Especially after a intentional head butt! That's why u have a ref!!!!"
White did choose sides between Mayweather and Ortiz, he blasted Cortez.
"You can't blame the fighters. The ref is in there to stop that [expletive] from happening! That is the worst ref'n I have ever seen in boxing EVER."
In his own sport, White has never been shy about going after judges or referees.
Frankly, everyone in the ring had a part in this mess, but clearly Cortez failed to do his job. The shocked look on his face says it all.
