Problem is, the punch was legal. But yes, it was a total cheap shot. Agree with all else you say.
Best part was after the fight when Mayweather showed his lack of class while being a total punk and told Larry Merchant he wouldn't talk to him and said HBO should fire him, to which the 80 year old Merchant replied "If I was 50 years younger I'd kick your ass."
For those not in the know, Merchant has been covering boxing for a half-century going back to the Ali-Liston fight. HBO had to convince Merchant to not retire a few years ago, I hope they give him an extension for life.
