September 17th wasn?t exactly the proudest night of Victor Ortiz?s young career. In a scene that has been well-documented, Ortiz would suffer an unexpected loss at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr. inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, losing his prized WBC welterweight crown in the process.
The action appeared to be heating up in fourth round when Ortiz threw a blatant head butt towards Mayweather that cost him a point from referee Joe Cortez. The two fighters met in the center of the ring afterwards, with Ortiz embracing Mayweather to show his remorse, and Mayweather would catch the former champion off guard with a whistling left hand and a straight right that floored him and ended the fight.
