Joe Cortez is a bad referee

Yea right well that night it was mayweather doing all the clinching it was his gameplan to tire hatton out that way.
And it worked because cortez was in his corner that night.

 

How come floyd was able to get his punches off. There is no excuse. If you cant box, dont box. When Hatton got on this inside he was arm hustling and not doing anything but pushing and wrestling. That is not infighting. When Castillo had Floyd on the inside..He punched...no need for the ref to do ****. The ref would not of broken it up if there was punching and action. WTF is he supposed to wait til hatton wrestles him around the ring..No...Hatton held which is against the rules so he broke it up..

 

it was a boxing fight....not a wrestling match,send hatton to the WWE if he wants to do that ****

 

Watch the fight again you can clearly see mayweather doing the grappling and tieing up hatton for the first 4 rounds basically this was a 6 round fight.
Nothing you can say to me can change my mind i have it right here and can see it with my own eyes that was the gameplan tire hatton out by giving him his own medicine.

 

Yeah..just like with all mayweather fights ALOT OF CLINCHING. As I recall that is Hattons pattern. If hatton jumps in FLoyds face and literally grabs him WTF is he supposed to do. Let hatton push him around. ****ing dip****. HATTON WAS HOLDING THE ****ING ROPES AND PUNCHING WHEN HE HAD FLOYD AGAINST THE ROPES. THE DINGBAT WAS THROWING ELBOWS ETC ETC.. HE IS THE ONE FIGHTING DIRTY. FLOYD DID WHAT THE **** THAT SORRY ASS HATTON DID BACK. THE **** YOU THINK THIS IS. HATTONS WHOLE STYLE IS BASED ON BREAKING THE RULES AND FIGHTING DIRTY. HOLDING AND HITTING. GET THE **** OUT OF HERE.

 

Hastton holds yes but to say hatton was the wwe fighter that night just isn't true if you watch again i am sure you will see it's floyd that's the wwe in this fight.
And no nee to get worked up i am calling it as i can see it i think you have rose tinted spectacles on or must be a floyd fan.

 

What's wrong with you ****tards?

The ref simply did his job by keeping it as boxing match . . . not a grappling match. :yep

 

If you listen to the HBO cast you are right. If you are watching the fight with common sense your own eyes and a brain. You see hatton charging forward constantly, not punching, not looking to punch but looking to hold and push floyd back..not with punches but literally wrestle him to the ropes. This **** is not new and it is not rocket science. If somebody is pushing you, you grab them so you dont get ****ing pushed off balance to the ground. Hatton came forward like a madman and did not do ****. WTF WAS HATTON DOING..he was holding jackass.

 

Cortez did his job yes but he was like a football referee blowing his whistle every ten seconds for the first 4 rounds.
I don't support or even like hatton or his style but to be fair mayweather was the WWE in this fight you can clearly see it.
You cannot sit there and say in boxing the referee jumps in 1 second after a clinch every single time for 4 rounds and say that is normal and in that respect yes cortez did a shitty job and almost with a hint that he was influenced or pressured in to doing that in this fight specifically.

 

He walked into my cousin's work at Kinko's and acted like such a self pompous ass. He was like "I'm Joe Cortez" My cousin who somewhat watches boxing when I have a ppv, recognized him. It was like he was expecting a discount because he's supposedly a famous ref.

jackass...

 

i'm sure that pbf won because cortez was in his pocket. everyone knows that cortez hates england.
hatton clearly would've won against pbf if it was a different ref, everyone knows that the man to take down floyd is a short, one dimensional brawler that can barely make weight. cause that's how you beat someone as technically skilled as floyd, you run at them, miss as many punches as possible, then wrestle ineffectually.

 

You miss the point here the point is did cortez influence this fight the answer is yes which he shouldn't do.
Did it change or would have changed the outcome probably no but nobody knows for certain, the fact that he was even a factor involved in the outcome is bad refereeing.
Hatton rushed forward and floyd did all the holding btw or are you just blind because it's an american vs uk thing.

 

Yeah, for some reason he kinda seems like he'd be one of those types. I like watching him work because he's one extremely funny looking dude. Sometimes I think he should be in there trading beacuse it's not like he has to worry about his GQ material face.

 

no my insightful friend, i did not miss the point. and just for the sake of argument, i'm going to quote something you just said to point out how wrong it is.

now, to my mind (it's american, so that makes it not as good as yours, i know, i apologize) a ref should influence the fight in the sense that he should make sure that the fighters obey the rules. would you rather a ref not have any "influence" to stop low blows? (that's a rhetorical question, which means you aren't actually supposed to answer it) but hey, don't let the fact that i've got a point and all you have is blind emotion bother you, i'm sure you'll say plenty of worthwhile things someday.
