The Rumble in the Jungle
This past weekend my brother and I debated on whether purchasing the Maywether vs. Ortiz boxing bout. After hearing about what happen I am pretty glad I didn't. The whole thing lasted 4 rounds and could easily be viewed on youtube. If I were a boxing enthusiest I would have been ashamed an embarassed by maywethers actions. If you saw the video you would see that Ortiz clearly headbutts maywether. Obviously that was wrong and he tried and successfully apologized for it by kissing maywether on the cheek and accepting his point deduction. Maywether on the other hand saw this as an opportuniuty for an easy victory. As the two were making up to me it seemed that maywether whispered something in his ear. I personally thought Maywether said something along the lines of "Hey you headbutted me let me get a free hit on you and call it even". As you can see in the video ortiz accepts his first blow and then is hit once again by a powerful shot by maywether. Ortiz goes down and the fight is over. What shocked me more was that Ortiz didn't react like I thought most boxers would with something that controversial. There are so many angles you can spin this match on. It was either set up or Maywether is a dirty boxer who wanted the more flashier victory.
