Ortiz's inexperience showed. He got frustrated, he started headbutting, he lost focus. He committed the cardinal sin of boxing, he left himself wide open. The referee didn't call time out.
The clock was ticking, no one stopped the round. He left his hands down by his side because he wanted to take a timeout. Boxing doesn't work like that. You don't get to call a timeout or take a break when you want to. Only the ref can call timeout.
What he should have done is pretended to give him a hug and then just as he was about to hug him, punch him instead. Or hug him, and then just after the hug, punch him. That would have been better then that stupid move that he did.
I'm watching an NFL football game right now. The defense just got penalized for having to many men on the field. The quarterback for the offense noticed this, and quickly snapped the ball. He didn't wait for the extra defender to get off the field. He snapped the ball and penalized the team for their mistake. Its not a cheap shot. Its part of the Game. That quarterback knows that his life depends on the Game. Millions of dollars, fame and celebrity, all riding on the outcome of a few games.
Last month I was watching a baseball game. There was a close play at the plate. The catcher didn't have the ball but he was standing right in front of the plate as a runner was charging home. The runner was going full speed towards home plate, the catcher was standing there not even looking. The runner ran right through him, broke his leg.
Remember last year in the NBA playoffs, Jason Kidd was dribbling down court. The coach for the other team stepped onto the court, just a few inches. Jason Kidd ran the guy over. Technical foul on the coach for being on the court.
Thats the Game. Again, there are millions of dollars on the line. Celebrity status, endorsements, contracts, Victoria's Secret models, etc.
Maybe Ortiz missed this post by Tuthmosis:

The only problem comes when you run into a guy like me--especially one without my moral rectitude--who:
1. Dances salsa better than you and has game.
2. Will come over, nicely, and ask to "borrow" your girl for a "quick dance." (You can't say no, because it will make you seem possessive and controlling to the girl--a definite no-no on a first date.)
3. Will dance with her and show off some smoothness and skill, while spitting some preliminary game at her. She'll laugh a few times and get a "feel" for me.
4. Finish the dance and politely let her go back to you. "Thanks. I'll see you around the dance floor."
5. Spot her alone later--because I have phenomenal "club vision"--when you go to the bathroom or are waiting in a massive crowd of people to get drinks at the bar.
6. Pick up where I left off in my game and get her number. (Surreptitiously, of course. If she says "I'm with a guy," I can say something like, "oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had a boyfriend," which will put her on the defensive and more likely to lower your status in her head.)
7. Text her a couple of days later.
8. Steal.
9. Bang her.
10. Bring her to that same salsa spot.
It's the circle of life, player.
This is why I don't bring a girl dancing or clubbing until I've banged her. Too many thirsty dudes on the prowl. They don't give a fuck about you. They want your girl.
