Mayweather vs Ortiz results: A controversial knockout fightFloyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Victor Ortiz in a controversial fourth round knockout that could be the talk of the boxing world in the next 24 hours.
Ortiz threw a intentional headbutt on Mayweather after he opened up combinations against the ropes. He got a warning from the ref and deducted a point from him. While Ortiz was apologizing, Mayweather hit him with a punch and knocked Ortiz to the floor. After 10 counts, Mayweather wins the bout.
Mayweather knocked out Ortiz at the end of the fourth round to extend his unbeaten record to 42 fights.
However, the 34 year-old looked to have landed the knockout blows while Ortiz was not ready after being penalised for a headbutt seconds earlier.
After a quiet opening, the fight burst into life in the fourth round with Ortiz getting Mayweather on the ropes without quite being able to find a decisive blow.
The 24-year-old then seemed to be apologising and was not protecting himself as Mayweather landed two punches - the second a big right hand - to end the fight.
Mayweather Interview:
"I got hit by a dirty shot. The rule is protect yourself at all time," Mayweather insisted in a post-fight interview.
"We are not here to cry and complain about what he did or I did dirty.
"We touched gloves, right hand and that's all she wrote.
"You just protect yourself at all times. I was victorious. If he wants a re-match, he can get a re-match."
Mayweather then showered his interviewer with abuse and said he had never given him "a fair shake".
