How is a legal move be considered cheap? It's not a fighter's job to make sure his opponent is ready. That's his opponent's job.

You know how you felt after the Dawson Hopkins PPV.? Cheated?

That's how I kinda felt ...because I felt a little cheated because that fight was shaping up to be pretty good....in terms of another display of PBF's skill and Ortiz's tenacity...


that shot by PBF (perfectly in his right and legal) took all that away.

Gotta love stupid questions by the PBF cauk suck team.


Think of it this way...when MMA fighters always tap gloves in the beginning of the fight, well you can "cheap shot" someone immediately after...(which has been done). It's legal, but still considered cheap.

PBF's shot on Gatti when he thought the fight was at break in round 1 was legal, but cheap.

Tapping gloves is fucking stupid and should be against the rules. I've always said that. Is a guy dirty if he wants to come out like Penn/Uno?

cheap shot or not... that's a very subjective issue, and everyone has their own opinion on that.

But, at the end of the day, the knockout was perfectly legal.

Wasn't very dirty to me, what was dirty was the fact that the fight was fixed. Mayweather is a million times the boxer Ortiz is, but there's no reason for him to wear himself down for 12 rounds when a fight with Cotto is next spring.

word is, Young Mayweather worked Sweet Pea when they sparred... but who the hell knows how true that is.
