 That first punch had him completely stunned. There was no putting gloves up after that. He would have needed several seconds to recover.
My son said the same thing but I disagree. To me it looked like he was looking to the ref for an intervention.

Watch it in slo mo, he's popped in the chin and his head jerks to the side and stays there as his body drifts backward. It was a full force pop to the head, he was stunned.

Things are different now. Money's got a belt and he's going to have to defend it in a mandatory fight or give it up. Question is has the WBC changed it's ways after its 2004 near death experience? Will it again not sanction unification fights against WBO title holders, which Pac is? The WBC head has slammed Pac for "lack of respect". Who will Sulaiman choose for Mayweather's mandatory defense?

Come on, if Ortiz was hit during a break, that's not only a sucker punch, it's a foul.  Many a fighter would expect an acknowledgment.
