Boxing fans and critics have spent the past 30 hours or so debating the controversial outcome of Saturday night’s WBC welterweight title match, after Floyd Mayweather knocked out defending champ Victor Ortiz in the 4th round. For those of you who missed it, Ortiz had just finished apologizing for a headbutt that he delivered to Mayweather in the previous round, and he even punctuated his apology with a kiss on Mayweather’s cheek. And then Mayweather knocked him the f*ck out.

Ortiz complained after the fight that he was still addressing the ref when Mayweather landed his two-punch sleeping pill, and some people have called Mayweather’s attack cheap and dirty. And while I’m not quoting Mayweather verbatim, I believe his response was something like, “Sorry for partying.”

Crudely recorded buttcam video of the knockout after the jump, awesome GIF version here.

The comparison to the terrific JCVD film (and I do mean, “The”) has already been made, but you’d never expect a Bloodsport-style knockout to happen in real life. And yet, here it is, executed by Brazilian Capoeira master Marcus Aurelio over Keegan Marshall in Vancouver. That is mighty. The last time somebody went down that fast, Hugh Grant handed her cash. Eh, that might be a little dated for this crowd…via.

I just hung a poster of Vince over my bed because he sent me this clip of a dude getting utterly destroyed by a Caucasian foot to the face. White guys kick like this…No, seriously, that dude is out before he even hits the mat. This is why American fighters go over to Japan; that and the vending machines over there. The women in Japan tend to be very submissive over there, except when it comes to swordplay and long division. I’m not too bad at long division…

Speaking of beatdowns in Japan, the Notre Dame “legends” team ran for 309 yards on Japan last week to win, 19-3. If you think those Asians have trouble communicating, they’ve got NOTHING on Lou Holtz.

I don’t know much about the PureCombat “Home Turf” event that took place in California last week. What I do know is that Steve Ramirez is not one for the pomp and circumstance of things like “ground game,” “arm bars,” or even “long matches.” No, Ramirez fought Darvin Wattree in the first co-main event that you totally missed if you blinked. Three seconds after the bell, Wattree was looking for his teeth, and Ramirez was looking for someone to hug. Or someone else to pummel. They should just stick ten guys in the octagon with him and see how many he can knock unconscious in a minute. It’d be just like Whack-A-Mole, but without that little hammer. Hey, maybe we should give the guy a hammer…via.

Here’s a Caps fan getting punched out by what I’m being told is one of three Pittsburgh Penguins fans after Game 2 of that awesome Caps-Pens semifinal series in DC. And this dude just goes down in a heap. It’s like my father might have said if I wasn’t born in a test tube: never get in a fight with an ugly person because they have nothing to lose. It’s hard to get in a fight with a test tube. Though I guess that would be the mother, wouldn’t it?
