By now you should have heard that Floyd Mayweather knocked out by Victor Ortiz in the fourth round at Saturday night's WBC Welterweight match in Las Vegas. But what's also making waves is the drama that ensued during and after the match. Floyd Mayweather has shown that world that he has no class. Ortiz lost a point for an illegal headbutt and that was clearly wrong and in poor taste. When the referee resumed action, Ortiz hugged and kissed Mayweather on the cheek to apologize, then backed up with his hands down. He was obviously not mounting any type of defense and that's when Mayweather decided to take a cheap shot. He caught him with the a left hook that ended the fight at 2:59 into the fourth round.
Mayweather showed the world just how classless he is by refusing to talk to HBO announcer Larry Merchant as he attempted to do his traditional in-ring post-fight interview by saying: "You don't never give me a fair shake. I'm through. Put somebody else up here to give me an interview. HBO need to fire you because you don't know shit about boxing. You ain't shit." Merchant had a response of his own: "I wish I was 50 years younger and I would kick your ass." Well, I guess Victor Ortiz learned a valuable lesson, "protect yourself at all times." It is clear that Floyd Mayweather cannot even dream of walking in the shoes of boxing great Muhammad Ali much less actually walking in those shoes.
