“It met my expectation; experience definitely took over. That showed in the frustration that Victor Ortiz had when he literally launched himself into Floyd Mayweather’s mouth. He launched his whole body, head first, into Floyd Mayweather’s mouth. That was a part of frustration. He wasn’t ready for the big time yet and Floyd exposed him and showed the world why Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the best fighter in the world today…Victor was looking for an easy way out. Maybe he was looking for them to disqualify Floyd, but that wasn’t going to happen. Floyd was on his master A game. He won every round and frustrated him and took Victor completely out of his game,” stated world-class trainer Eddie Mustafa Muhammad as he shared his thoughts on Floyd Mayweather’s 4th round knockout of Victor Ortiz this past Saturday. Check it out!
PC: You told me a few months back that you looked forward to Mayweather’s ring return more than anything in boxing. Did it meet your expectation and what are your thoughts on the way it ended?
EMM: It met my expectation; experience definitely took over. That showed in the frustration that Victor Ortiz had when he literally launched himself into Floyd Mayweather’s mouth. He launched his whole body, head first, into Floyd Mayweather’s mouth. That was a part of frustration. He wasn’t ready for the big time yet and Floyd exposed him and showed the world why Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the best fighter in the world today.
PC: It’s amazing how many people are calling the knockout foul and not even discussing the headbutt.
EMM: It’s ridiculous. Listen, like you just said, nobody talks about the headbutt and it was an intentional headbutt. That wasn’t accidental. That was intentional and Floyd didn’t retaliate at all. In fact, they shook hands and embraced and Ortiz even gave Lil Floyd a little kiss to show Floyd that he didn’t mean to do it. But during that whole procedure, Ortiz forgot the cardinal rule in this game and that is to protect yourself at all times.
