bunce is spot on about cortez and that fight. that was disgraceful. full credit to stevie for speaking the truth warts and all
He just DQ'd Soto for **** all. Cortez has lost the plot. He lost the plot during the Hatton fight and he'd gone up a few levels tonight, complete *****.
That is the most unjustified win I've seen. Before the announcement I didn't even consider it might be a DQ. Bizarre.
Cortez was completely clueless in there, this is becoming a trend and he can't be trusted in a world title fight.
Bunce was spot on, Cortez needs to retire as that was a joke. He even had the nerve to defend himself. Lorenzo's acting didn't help matters either. You got to feel for Soto as he was denied a world title.
Didn't Khan hit that crap guy harder than that while he was down and Micky Vann just gave him a cheeky grin and told him not to do it again. Another thing, can you expect not to be hit while down if you take a knee when your opponent is in the middle of a combination?
Cortez let Pacman hit Marquez with a far cleaner shot when down in their first fight and didn't even acknowledge it. It happens all the time, it's natural, especially when finishing a combo. After all's said and done he just lost control, totally. He tried to stop it before that and was physically unable to do it, from that point he didn't know what was going on. I've just had a funny memory actually... anyone remember Maussa trying to hit Vivian Harris when he was down? Brilliant. He missed too !!!!
