Last night after Floyd Mayweather knocked out Victor Ortiz in the fourth round with unexpected 2 piece, HBO boxing commentator Larry Merchant asked Floyd about the questionable punch and Floyd went off...
Floyd told Larry, "You never give me an even shake. HBO needs to fire you. You don't know shit about boxing. You ain't shit" to which Larry replied, "If I was 50 years younger I'd kick your ass!" then Floyd told Larry, "You wouldn't do shit!"

Classic "deer in the headlights" look on the face.
That old man would have been rocked to sleep 50 years ago. Larry has never boxed a day in his life.
Who is that dick rider in the background talking about "You heard him"? I missed the days when weed carriers were seen and not heard.
The expressions on the faces in this photo are priceless. Perfect for "caption this."
I say Floyd Sr. and Larry should go a few rounds...
What exactly did white man say that pushed him over the edge?
You heard 'em!! LMAO
I think that's larry's. Schtick, he's paid to antagonize.
Larry was being the condesending ass that he (always)is and Floyd Jr. simply put him in his place. I LOVED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT!
Floyd is a beast!!! and oh so sexy!!! follow me @mz_acklin
Larry Merchant is a Coon.
look at him.
I agree Larry Merchant should leave HBO. His time has pass. He belongs with Jack Dempsey or somebody. Oh yeah, he was.
Screw Larry Merchant.
Floyd you Gangsta.
Yay for Floyd for shutting up dumb whitey!!!
I love a brotha that ain't scared of em yt folks ..turns me on.
Shit old ass Larry should have said if I was 70 years younger with a gun. Old ass Larry wounldn't do shit. He doesn't want any of Floyd.
The only thing that I wish Floyd had done on national tv was tell him "N*GGA, you wouldn't do sh*t!"
This would have been PRICELESS!!!!!
v...
I wish I could make a ringtone outta that interview.
I'm serious.

This shit has been brewing for about a decade. Larry Merchant is Floyd's #1 Hater, no question. I've seen just about every one of Floyd's HBO fights and Larry Merchant ALWAYS has something slick to say about Floyd. HBO knows it and they continue to allow his biased as to interview Floyd for the potential drama. Hell, before the interview above, Jim Lampley even hyped it up before he sent it down to Merchant. HBO knows exactly what they're doin' - They love bringin' the "nigga" out in Floyd. I'm just glad he bounced Ortiz's head off the canvas..
if most of us was fifty years younger our daddy's wouldn't have even busted his nut yet...fu*k larry merchant....
QUESTIONABLE PUNCH MY ASS!!!!! AS LONG AS IT WAS'NT A KICK IT WAS FAIR!
The headbutt was messy an Floyd's sneak punch was messier,Larry was right....these new fighters wanna bite,headbutt and do other shit that us oldheads didnt even consider boxing. Ali never had to headbutt or sneak a punch,neither did Joe Frazier or even Marvin Hagler.....this new breed of boxers is messy.
Yeah,the headbutt was wrong....but that sneak punch was not any better. Larry's disgusted at the sportsmanship and so are alot of other people who remembered when boxer's boxed with fists not sneaky shit.
oh yeah money, make the pacquiao fight, until then larry can call you all the bitches he wants....
I just don't think there is a such thing as "sneak" punch in boxing. When you step in the ring, you know what it is..expect it all..
@8:49.
How is a punch messier than a headbutt? They tapped gloves the count started the round was in play. Ortiz was an idiot who was punched by a more experienced fighter end of story.
Classic LOL
Hands down, the best part of the fight was the interview. I laughed for an hour.
The ref, Cortez, first said "Let's go" as he brought the two back together. Then he looked at the scorer's table and said "Time in". Was Ortiz waiting for the ref to put his gloves back up for him? The muthafucka said "let's go" and "time in" and you still tryna hug on a nigga and got your hands straight down at your side.
I'm glad Floyd knocked his silly ass out. Cortez even said after the fight, "It was time in. Mayweather did nothing illegal". Ortiz caused the whole thing with the dirty ass flying head butt, and then it's like he refused to put his dukes back up. It's like he wanted the biscuit. Weird ass Mexican..
When stories like this happen & there's so many diff opinions, I like to read other blogsites to see what others are commenting. So far, it seems that caucasian blogsites, e.g. TMZ think it was a cheap shot but African-American blogsites, e.g. RWS, Necole Bitchie, Sandra Rose hatin' ass & MTO lyin' ass, say it was nothing wrong w/ it.
I agree w/ everyone else here, except 8:49am. Stop apologizing & realize you're in a ring to fight. It was on after they touched gloves & he took the L like he should've because he slipped by not protecting himself.
And fuck Larry Merchant. I'm disgusted at HBO for making fight fans suffer through his 3-words-per-minute commentary for so many years. Anybody that's watched Floyd enough knows that he sneaks shots and pot-shots all the time. He did the same thing to Arturo Gatti in a fight that he was dominating 5 times as much as he was shittin' on Ortiz. Do I think Floyd knew what he was doing? Of course.
@8:49 - I'ont really buy that. Boxing has always been a dirty sport in which crafty veterans exploit any and every advantage to win. Read about George McFadden. Muthafucka's nickname was "Elbows" cuz he was so dirty. Evander Holyfield is more of an old-school style fighter, and one of the dirtiest cats I've ever seen. The reason that he didn't even get mad at Mike Tyson for biting him is because he admitted to biting a nigga in the chest before. Holyfield also notoriously used his head and elbows. B-Hop is another old-school style cat famous for punching defenseless cats after the bell, holding and hitting, elbows, you name it. Sonny Liston was a fuckin dirtbag.
And hate to bust your bubble, but Ali was dirty too, just not notoriously so. Ali FREQUENTLY punched on the break, held behind the head, held and hit, punched with an open fist, etc.. Boxing is a dirty sport, and new school apple didn't fall far from the old school tree.
Professional Boxing match.
Protect yourself at all times.
Fight is on.
Time is in.
Administer snackpack.
Night, Night!!!
Be declared WINNER.
Raise arm in victory.
Instruct interviewer to eat a 12 inch.
Collect purse and belt.
Wash and dress.
Exit building.
That's about it.
Im glad Ortiz got his ass knocked out he deserved it. The mexicans need to be mad at his ass instead of Floyd cuz he start fighting dirty he couldnt handle the fact that he was getting beat.How is a punch in a BOXING match dirtier than a HEADBUTT?The ref restarted the fight and Ortiz still trying to hold and caress Floyd im surprised he didnt drop down on his knees and start sucking Floyds dick!He was trying to headbutt floyd in the third round too and the ref had to keep telling him to stop. People kill me talking about Ortiz is a gentleman thats why he apologized uh HELLO GENTLEMAN DONT HEADBUTT IN A BOXING MATCH. If he had not headbutted floyd to began with he wouldnt have needed to apologize duh! And the only reason why he kept aplogizing was because everybody could clearly see that he did it on purpose and he got scared cuz floyd was really gon whip his ass after that.
And for everyone who keep saying that Ortiz was looking at the ref when floyd hit him that is a lie he was looking right at floyd.People just want to hate cuz they dont like floyd. Say what you want about his attitude but NOBODY can HONESTLY say that he isnt a great boxer. Floyd won that fight hands down even if it didnt end the in a knock out Ortiz STILL would have lost floyd had landed 78 hits Ortiz landed 25 lol bring on the next one.
I enjoyed the fight...& Larry I agreed with Floyd...you NEVER have anything nice to say...RETIRE!
Larry is a biased asshole.he has a problem with black boxers and always tries to through some sneaky ass comment in the coversation. I've hated larry since back when Mike Tyson first came out. he was an ass back then too! glad somebody put his ass in place
Bernard Hopkins carried his old ass too @ 11:19!
It's plain to see Merchant an ol hating azz mofo although I don't really care for Floyd LOL, he carried the sh*t out of him!!!!
Waterhead Larry kills me.
Nope,yall fullof it. Thats why a fight lasts less then 30 minutes and we ,the consumers pay 50 and up for BS. Ali "dirty" maybe,but at least his fights ran 10 rounds and not 28 minutes. This new breed is dirty,Larry Merchant called it .The ref was still advising both fighters when Mayweather punched em..the vid shows that clearly....it was a sucker punch and thats not black,white or mexican. Thats fact....
i dont understand why he sucker punched Ortiz,he was winning the fight. Was he mad about the headbutts or was he scared Ortiz was
gonna whip that ass. So he blindsided him.
11:55
what are you talking about? a knock out is a knock out. your ass goes down thats it. there is no rule book on how long that shit should take, ask Tyson! and even the other fighter said it was in. you dumb enough to pay through the nose to see a fight, you get what you get. there are no guarantees.
larry is a straight up asshole and has been for his whole career! Ive known him to be an ass for at least the past 20 years! If you win and your skin is not white, larry got some smart shit to say all that time! thats not fake its a fact, he's been doing it for decades!
@ 11:55am, that's sore loser talk right there
@12:07 PM:
I saw the fight. I'm guessing you did too.
Mayweather could not miss with the right hand. He was landing it at will.
At Will!
The only success(if you can call it that) that Ortiz enjoyed was when he tried to bumrush Mayweather and throw a lot of puches, MOST of which missed the mark or were blocked(the CompuBox numbers clearly state this).
He(Ortiz) is the one who was scared of a kicking that is why He(Ortiz) resorted to roughousing to get under Floyd's skin.
All that got him was a point deduction and bottom's up. If there was anything untoward going on, Ref. Joe Cortez(OG and well respected in the fight game)would have called it.
Let's also not forget that He(Ortiz) was behind 3-0 on two of the three judges scorecards at the time of the stoppage (the other judge gave him 1 round.)
Your boy got mollywhopped for being dirty.
Simple.
By the way, please let's not forget WHY He(Ortiz) got a point taken in the first place. Seems like some people have selective memories.
The interview made the fight worth $60 on pay per view. Lol. Hilarious.
Mayweather could have dropped Ortiz soon as the fight started. I think Floyd tried to give us a little bit of a show, but then Ortiz tried to headbutt him. So then, show's over...Mayweather had to knock his ass out. Lol. Ortiz was clearly outmatched soon as the fight started.
@3:02 - No doubt.
@jazz - exactly. The Mexican fans in Vegas can sometimes sway a judge to slip and give a Floyd opponent a round, lol. Exhibit A (only exhibit necessary) is the Delahoya fight. Floyd outlanded Oscar 207-122 total punches while throwing 106 less punches. He landed at 43% to Oscar's 21%. He also landed more power punches (138-82), which was 57%-24% while throwing a hundred less! (341-241). Not to mention, he outlanded Oscar in every single round of the fight.
BUT
Because of the fact that every time Oscar threw a flurry into Floyd's elbows, the crow lost their minds... the fight ended up close and was one of the most ridiculous split decisions I've ever seen. One idiot had Delahoya winning 115-113. So anybody that thought Ortiz was doing anything Saturday night was just feeling the delusional Mexican Vegas crowd. Floyd was laughin at that cat while he was tryna bum-rush him against the ropes. Like jazz said, frustration led to head-butt, leading to him gettin' dismissed and handed his #42 card.
From the looks of his smiles during post-fight, he'll wear that #42 proudly..
The punch Mayweather put on Ortiz wasn't dirty. Ortiz was so freaked out of his mind after head butting Floyd that he lost his focus on the match which is how Floyd was able to punch his lights out when he did. The second you tap gloves there's no waiting for the ref. You either protect yourself or start punching. Only reason why so many are trying to put Floyd down is because he went off on an old white dude and the crowd was pissed at Floyd because their Mexican hype got beat.
If all of you are too blind to see that this fight was fixed, then something is wrong with your sight. This fight was bullshit and a joke. Ortiz set that shit up and probably walked away with an extra 5 million. There is no way that after that first punch by Maywather that Ortiz would continue to stand there waiting for Mayweather to throw the second punch please.
Mayweather needed to not be so ignorant and answer the question. Mayweather knew he was chicken shit, thats why he was so defensive and went off on Larry, shit, what the hell you need a even shake for, your the greatest boxer in the world, if the rules are rules, just say it, don't sit there making a fool of yourself.
You are supposed to be the best fighter in the world, why would you knock out Ortiz with his hands down. Mayweather is a punk ass bitch along with his flunkie 50, holding his belts like his bitch. Then Maywaether talks about giving Ortiz a rematch. Please don't be played by this ignorant fool who still won't fight Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather quit being a bitch and wasting everyones' time and fight Manny, since you are all that!
^ Ur stupid. Think for a minute. Boxers on this level fix fights to get more PPV. Who would fix a fight like this by crapping on PPV fans and LOSE OUT on millions. STFU
@7:22pm
You forgot to sign your name Manny's JUMP-OFF. Have a seat and STFU!
AaaaaaaaHAhaaaa @ 10:04 PM
"Who is that dick rider in the background talking about "You heard him"? I missed the days when weed carriers were seen and not heard. 10:04 PM"
Dick Rider and Weed Carrier....LOL
There's no talking to some people.
By the way, I find all this homosexual innuendo regarding Floyd and 50's friendship very interesting.
When 2 celeb Black brothers are tearing each other up either physically or verbally, they're fake thugs, wanksters, coons, stereotypes, etc.
(I don't need to expound on this.)
As soon as 2 celeb Black brothers develop a close friendship they're DL homosexual partners. I first took notice of this trend with Red and Meth.
Quite interesting indeed.
Man, if I was rich and famous I would be scared to be seen in public with any male acquaintance not related to me, and even that is no guarantee tongues wouldn't wag and fingertips wouldn't tap.
Pathetic!
I wonder how many people know that 50 himself was an amateur boxer who was good enough to reach the Junior Olympics, plus they're both rich, famous, young and Black. IOW, they have a lot in common.
I like and respect both Floyd and 50, so yeah I'm stanning for them and NO I don't get a dime from anybody but I'ma play my brother's keeper on this topic.
If I'm proven wrong somewhere down the line, then so be it.
Until then kick rocks with that gay stuff unless you got some footage or sup'm.
For Real!
No offense to any gay people on here.
11:43pmJazz?Elove
Co-sign Elove. Oh I mean Jazz??? Right!!
@1:23 AM:
You again!
You crack me up.
Why do you think I'm ELove?
"The reactions did not match of the controversy". That was a staged fight!!
I'm sorry, but Pacquiao is not gonna beat this guy.... Pac just might lose HIS next fight if he doesn't take his roids! LOL.
But that Philly Shell defense that Floyd uses is just too damn crafty. And a wild-ass fighter like Pac is gonna get eaten alive!
