PrintAlthough, you know what? I take it as a learning lesson and a learning experience. And the next time, it ain't going to be that. If I'm going to head butt you I'm going to break your nose the next head butt.
--- Comments Victor Ortiz made during a recent video interview
Now, according to several reports, Ortiz may have to meet with the Nevada State Athletic Commission to explain comments he made about breaking Floyd Mayweather’s nose
Vicious Victor is fast becoming the most foot-in–mouth boxing figure out there. While I gave him a well deserved honorable mention for his fight with Andre Berto as Fight of the Year, if I had a category for Weird Boxing Behavior of the Year, Ortiz wins hands down (no pun intended).

Ted do you want everything after the quote to not be italicized? I can fix that up for you if you want.

When Ortiz made eye contact with Cortez after the left hook and Cortez just looked at him in awe and wonder (*deer in headlights).

Maybe Amir Khan would agree
I don’t though

It’s funny but I think it’s two different clips, he has black gloves in the ringwalk and red during his flop. Excuse me if I’ve stated the obvious.
Best entrance and best exit ever by usman aka uzzy. Music link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMS_0wSbu1M
I need to clarify this is an edit i made from 2 different fights and different music.
After a quality intro and some killer moves , hes out in the first round. Got to give him 10/10 for effort and 0/10 for the challenge.
Enjoy!

This one goes to the first round KO of Uzzy, following the ringwalk, and is the one I saw live. How dumb am I, I remembered the KO because it was so funny after the walk, but didn’t put 2+2 together.

The state of New Jersey sending rank amateurs out to score Lara-Williams. The cards were bad, but putting those judges out there was worse. The subsequent suspension just let the board look above it, as best they could.
The bizarre referee in Helenius vs Chisora became overlooked once the scores were read. The man was either incompetent or clearly corrupt. There’s no two ways about it. He fuckin’ waved a hand in front of Chisora’s face at one point. It was truly out there. He made Joe Cooper look passive.

You're so right
Mor than bizarre, seemed to me. I think he was flat-out bought. It was blatanly clear throughout the fight exactly whose side he was on, .

Steve Smoger's late stoppage of Jones-Lebedev was predicatably weird.

Maybe it doesn’t exactly belong into this category, but I really loved BHop doing those push-ups during the brake in his fight against Pascal. A little crazy, and highly effective.

The whole episode with Margarito’s eye and his license. Whether it was weird behaviour on the part of the Commission bringing this up at the last minute or of Top Rank’s lack of diligence, that was a weird episode.

I liked when he took it (the eye) out and showed it to the commissioners … and then ate it.
I heard a few of those in the room just signed the documents and ran for the head.
Weird indeed. lol

You don’t think having to wonder if you’re going to have to move a big time ppv on two week’s notice to Denver Colorado or Mississippi is weird?

Summary statement
Heck, after the strange things that occurred during 2011, how could anyone not enjoy boxing? The weirdness included Dawson vs. Hopkins, Pat Russell’s on again/off again behavior, Mayweather vs. Ortiz (with the added attraction of "Firm but Fair" Joe Cortez, "Vicious" Victor’s foot-in-mouth quotes, Russell Mora’s serial ineptness in Agbeko vs. Mares, Joe Cooper’s inexplicable point deduction in the last round of a championship fight with a "mystery man" in a hat at ringside, "Khanspiracy,’’ Adrien Broner’s bizarre hair combing before and after a fight, "Toe Gate," "Eye Gate," Lara vs. Williams and New Jersey’s boxing judges, Roy Jones ill-advised comeback, Hopkins doing pushups during a break in his fight against Pascal, Mayweather’s out-of-the ring troubles, Canelo’s alleged beat down of Solis, the dreadful neglect of selecting Myung-Woo Yuh in the IBHOF while inducting Michael Buffer, Glen Johnson’s whining after he lost every round to Bute, Toney’s vow to return after being slaughtered by Lebedev, Jose Sulaiman’s "sensitivity" to female abuse, and God only knows what else.

I watched that. Here is a direct quote from Al Bernstein calling the fight—“. . . What? What is he, what!?? DON’T TELL ME HE IS STOPPING THE FIGHT!!!!. THAT IS BIZARRE!!!!.” And more on how he’d hoped that with the end of 2011, he’d hoped we’d seen the end of awful refereeing, but, no, guess not. Just unbelievable. There was nothing, nothing, nothing wrong with Dakota Stone, except that having lost all the other rounds, she had done noticeably better in the previous round, and except for the succession of punches that led to the stoppage, was doing even better still in the last round. She was slow, but accurate and powerful, and they weren’t about to give her a puncher’s chance against their Costa Rican princess.
