First off JMM was robbed of 2 knockdowns in his fight, i had no idea what the hell Joe Cortez was doing, and he clearly let Freddie Norwood recover for a few seconds.

All Freddie Norwood did was run and try the occasional left hand, this wasn't that close IMO. JMM clearly won the later rounds and he had atleast won by a few points.

And had the other knockdown been scored. It would of been an even clearer winner, i mean one judge had Freddie Norwood winning 8 rounds what the hell ?

ICB, I think we are about to agree on something, I agree totally robbed, if my memory serves me right this was JMM's first big fight in terms of exposure etc and he was robbed, it was a foul filled fight that put JMM's career back a few years.

Cortez and Jay Nady need to retire, they are now bordering on incompetant!!
