Former boxer Victor Ortiz challenged the common belief that Floyd Mayweather dominated their notorious 2011 fight. Ortiz encouraged viewers to mute the commentary when revisiting the match to avoid any biased opinions. He recounted the fourth round, where he headbutted Mayweather and faced a penalty. Ortiz emphasized his intention to display sportsmanship by embracing and even jokingly kissing Mayweather, which he speculated could have annoyed his rival. The fight concluded contentiously as Mayweather delivered a knockout while Ortiz had his hands down. Ortiz contended that the referee never officially restarted the bout. Interestingly, he disclosed that Mayweather filed a lawsuit against him over the headbutt. Despite the dramatic ending and the audience’s reaction, Ortiz insisted that he held no grudges.
