They're trying to hard to look like the good guys in the fight. Ortiz threw a blatant headbutt. Floyd never threw an elbow.
I agree but the concept of "trickery" is very relative; Was Floyd pretending to touch gloves or trying to set up his next move?
2.5/10 because i responded and i know others will after me.
Doesn't matter if the opponent "Tricks you into keeping them down.also by rule and the ref even says this right before the match starts "Protect yourself at all times"
Yes, it's talking about fouls. This has more application for the Hopkins-Dawson result rather then Mayweather-Ortiz since there was no foul committed when Mayweather knocked out Ortiz.
No need to be clutching at straws.

What do you mean. You don't think Mayweather acted as if he wanted to touch gloves, then all of a sudden hit Ortiz?
they finished touching gloves and then mayweather hit him
ugh this has been gone over at least 1000 times since it's happened, but basically you're wrong and what mayweather did was completely 100000% legal
deal with it, you're grasping at straws now
It was unsportsmanlike and trickery. If you disagree fine, but don't say I'm grasping at straws.
Here at the 12:10 mark you can see Corrie Sanders breaking a rule by going down without being hit (by taking a knee). It doesn't have commentary but Jim Lampley went crazy at the time I think
I think it was Judah/Cotto when Judah had to take an intentional knee to save himself from being knocked on his ass (and probably out). If I recall correctly, Steward sided with Zab that it was the smart thing to do and no one else ringside said otherwise. But in fairness Judah had taken a lot of punishment in the seconds leading up to the knee.
Does anyone know what the official recourse is for someone taking an intentional knee? They're already going to lose a point; perhaps that's why it never becomes an issue.
