“Mayweather Did That to Victor Ortiz”: UFC Star & Boxing Fans Sickened as “Dirty” Fighter’s Punch Has Opponent Kissing the Canvas

It was a Saturday night to remember at the Omega Products International Events Center in Corona, California. In the highly anticipated lightweight boxing main event, Ruben ‘Ace’ Torres faced off against Cristian Baez. In addition, the fight was intense from the start, with both fighters giving it their all. However, things really heated up in round seven, when Baez made the rookie mistake of trying to touch gloves with Torres. Big mistake. Torres swiftly delivered a devastating left hook that sent Baez crashing to the canvas.

The fight was over almost immediately, and Torres became the winner. Twitter has been abuzz with the viral clip of the knockout, and fans are divided on whether it was a fair move or not.

Talking about the Mayweather-Ortiz fight, let’s take a look at how the event unfolded.

Back when Floyd Mayweather Sucker Punched Victor Ortiz

It was a wild night at the boxing match between Victor Ortiz and Floyd Mayweather, back in 2011. In the first few rounds, Ortiz showed off his agility and explosive striking skills. But even though he didn’t look like the weaker opponent, Mayweather’s world-class defense and movement helped him dodge most of Ortiz’s shots.

That is, until the fourth round, when Ortiz decided to headbutt Mayweather right in the face. This illegal move resulted in a cut inside Mayweather‘s mouth and a point deduction for Ortiz. But instead of feeling ashamed, Ortiz hugged Mayweather as soon as the fight resumed.

In a split second, Mayweather struck Ortiz with a left hook and right hand, dropping him to the canvas. Ortiz couldn’t get back up after the 10 count, and the fight was called off. Looks like embracing your opponent isn’t always a good idea in the boxing ring!
