    cortez was terrible in that fight. If you watch him ref the Calzaghe - Hopkins fight some time later, you'll see he lets Hopkins grab and spoil the entire fight. That said, the better fighters won.

    I've seen that fight about ten times. I have no problems whatsoever with the officiating. If you want to see a fight that Cortez ****ed up, look at Hopkins/Calzaghe.

    That fight was fixed, Hatton was fighting against two guys in there, Joe Cortez and Mayweather.

    I felt Cortez did ruin what could have been an exciting example in how two styles of infighting clash. Instead we got a fight where Hatton struggled to land against a Mayweather who struggled to look good until he was able to move up in gears at about...round 6?

    That was the problem for me. At the time of the Hatton-Mayweather fight, I didn't really see a problem with cortez stopping Hatton holding and grabbing. Infact, it's something I wish refs would do more. But he showed his true colours in the Hopkins fight, when he let him get away with all kinds of nonsense.

    Most of the ugliness came from Hatton's crude, brawling style.
