Mayweather Floors Ortiz, Then Goes Off On Merchant

 
Mayweather's knockout punch to Ortiz

 

As if the jaw-dropping finish of Saturday's Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Victor Ortiz welterweight bout wasn't controversial enough, the matchup that took place afterwards between Mayweather and veteran HBO commentator Larry Merchant definitely added some more fuel to the fire:

 

Legendary for his outspoken style and hardball interviews, 80-year-old sports journalist and Boxing Hall-of-Famer Larry Merchant has a long history of seriously ticking off some of boxing's biggest names, including (but not limited to) George Foreman, Ray Jones Jr., Mike Tyson, and Oscar De La Hoya.  

The fight is scheduled to be re-broadcast this weekend by HBO Sports.
