Any boxing fans around?

Great article about boxing, sportsmanship, etc, centered around the Ortiz vs Mayweather fight (a bit long, hope you read the whole thing):

Facts, laughs and irony, pretty much my favorite type of sports writing.

I love boxing, and did catch that fight.....I don't think Mayweather did anything unsportsmanlike or otherwise questionable in knocking Ortiz out the way he did. The ref said "Let's go" and motioned for the fighters to resume fighting, Ortiz felt like hugging and kissing, Mayweather felt like fighting. I guess we see which tactic works best in a prize fight!
