I didn't watch the entire fight, but I did see the minute or two leading up to the end of the fight. From what I hear, Mayweather was winning the fight up until then.
Ortiz did do the headbutt, and it did look intentional. He seemed genuinely sorry to have done it, and I think this is where he lost the fight. He spent an inordinate time apologizing, touching gloves, even at one point huggying and kissing Mayweather.
The ref had called for both fighters to continue...but Ortiz was still trying to make up for what he did.
Though I don't agree with what Mayweather did, the round was underway and Ortiz should have been concentrating on the fight.
Protect yourself at all times. That is, and should be a fighters mantra. Ortiz failed here.
I think this was less about Mayweather winning the fight than Ortiz losing it.
