Joe Cortez : I allowed Marquez to continue...

It's not a matter of Cortez's forcing him to continue. Forcing Marquez is out of the question here. Marquez on his own volition stood and beat the count.

Right you are, everytime a boxer gets up from a knockdown, he is either allowed to continue or not. Marquez was allowed to continue in that fight.
Let's go to that article.... He said I allowed Marquez to contine fighting and fight the fight of his life in succeeding rounds. Did he say whether Marquez was still fit to fight or not? No. Therefore, there must be something he knew that we did not know during that time. As I have said, and this is just an opinion based on his startling statement that he could have stopped the fight after Marquez having been knocked down three times, but he allowed him to continue. Therefore, he does not dislike Mexican boxers and to Marquez, he should be grateful for what he did. This is my opinion and if you don't agree with it. That's your problem.

 

That question needs to be answered. Yes, he wasn't hurt but other referees may think otherwise.Stopping the fight may have entered Cortez's mind to prevent Pac from hurting Marquez more. That could probably be the reason he made a slip on this article. It's illogical I think to cite something which he is supposed to do even in response to Marquez's accusing him of hating Mexican boxers.

 

You're dumber than dumb with this post. Should I answer you who is known to have no credibility in ESB. :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

He wanted to show the Mexican boxers that he did not hate them, and in the process he got caught in a quagmire forcing himself to commit a slip. In a post-mortem, it revealed what he was thinking during that time that Marquez was knocked down 3 times.

It could be interpreted as,:

"If you are my enemy, I could have stopped the fight. If I hate Mexican boxers, I should not have allowed you to continue fighting." Therefore.... your guess is as good as mine.

 

You mean Freddie knew beforehand that Pac would commit a violation in the 1st round and he actually paid Cortez even before he committed that act? How about creating a thread on it, dumb****! :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

It is startling in the sense that this revelation in that article could alter the results of fight had he not allowed Marquez to continue fighting. It again boosts the case of Pac winning the 1st fight. Again, may I ask what is the point in bringing this up there is nothing irregular about it. He got caught offguard to reveal what was in his mind during that time. If your mind is as sharp as mine (unfornately, yours is not), you will question the decision making of this referee in future fights. Was he influenced by his bias for a certain race? Pac's camp should not allow Cortez to officiate in Pac's future fights.

 

That's all for this witness, Your Honor! :rofl:rofl:rofl
