1. Mayweather was winning the round because of the cleanliness of his punch contact. Between that, winning the past three rounds, and docking the point for the headbutt, he would have been up five at the end of the round. There's no way Ortiz comes back from being down five points against Mayweather in the first four rounds.

2. If Ortiz wanted to show some class he shouldn't have fucking headbutted his opponent. This isn't kindergarten. The hugging is strategic, and it's called clinching.

3. It's called defense at all times. That includes when the fight has just restarted, because a capable fighter with fast hands can and will punish you for any lapse in your defense. Mayweather did so, as he should have in that instance. The goal of the fight is to win within the rules, and he did that.

Buncha hissy fits over nothing. Mayweather was already running away with the fight and Ortiz got dirty, then stupid.
