Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Victor Ortiz – Round 4 Controversial Knockout
Image Credit: Al Bello/Getty ImagesFloyd Mayweather Jr. beat Victor Ortiz on Saturday, September 17, 2011, via a controversial knockout on Round 4 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mayweather Jr., 34, with a 41-0 record and 25 knockouts vs. Ortiz, 24, who stands 5’9″ and the current WBC Welterweight Champion and has a record of 29-2-2 with 22 knockouts.
Watched the entire fight with own eyes… 
hated every second of it at first because Ortiz kept dancing around the ring, and kept failing despite numerous attempts to score a decent and spot on punch on Mayweather’s face.
The real fight started at the latter part of round 3, when Ortiz finally managed to throw multiple jab at Mayweather’s face, and to my surprise, a head butt too! 
Although Ortiz kept on apologizing right after, Floyd took that seriously.
When round four strikes, Ortiz tried to apologize again by giving Mayweather a hug but was caught by surprise when Floyd gave him a short left followed by a strong right jab and knocked him out. Boo! Boo! and another strong Boo!

It really pays to play dirty these days… too bad…let’s all shout “injustice prevails!”
Oh and by the way, during the post-fight ring interview, Floyd Mayweather launched into a furious tirade at legendary television analyst Larry Merchant prompting the 80-year-old broadcaster to say, “I wish I was 50 years younger. I would have kicked your ass.”
LOL, this is simply hilarious! wahaha
Sporty
So……!
I’ve been very busy these past few weeks campaigning for my presidential bet ;p To my fb friends, I know that I’ve been pestering you with videos, pictures, and links… sorry about that but I need to at least try and introduce you to the man who has restored my hope for a better Philippines. I’m proud to say that Sen. Richard Gordon has truly inspired me in so many ways… *sigh
Okay enough about politics, this post is supposed to update you with the recent happenings in my life. To start off, hubby and I have successfully engaged ourselves in not one, but two types of sport wee!
We’ve been running regularly for a month or two and so far so good! We are both following the “Couch to 5k” program in iPhone/iTouch. At the end of this program, we should be able to finish a 5k run without stopping (i wish!) . And yes, we are really trying to take this thing seriously – imagine me driving from MOA to UP once or twice a week just to practice. We usually finish at around 11 PM… tsk.
As for our first formal run, we recently joined the Greenfield Sunset Run in Laguna and both of us have successfully finished the 5k run in less than an hour yey!
So, this is how I looked when I was just about to finish the race… ew!
Aside from running, we’ve also been attending boxing at Elorde Katipunan every Saturday. My favorite part? The post boxing stretching and massage c/o coach Erwin ;p
We usually pay 250 per 1.5 hour session but since we registered ourselves as members for only 500 per year, we got the discounted rate of 200 per session. We also got further discout (per session rate down to 150) by buying 5 sessions in advance.
Here’s our gloves:
Until my next post!
Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto
Only a few hours to go and the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto will begin! Can’t wait but I need to get some sleep to gather enough energy in cheering for Manny tomorrow. And can I just say that I’m really happy that the person who is getting all this attention and money is proud of his color, one proud Pinoy =)
