The news people have been waiting for.
8/12/07 "Undefeated" Main event officials.
Referee: Joe Cortez
Judge: Paul Smith
Judge: Dave Moretti
Judge: Burt Clements
This is off boxrec so nothing confirmed yet so when I find it off a site I'll post a link but good news if this is correct.
Cortez....
I'd be happy enough with that selection
Thank fuck for that. I had a horrible feeling Jay Nedy would be referee.Quote:

Cortez likes to break up fighters pretty quickly so already thats disadvantage for Hatton.
Anything but Jay Nady. What a relief.
Cortez did the Hatton-Castillo fight. He knows Hatton.
I agree with you guys about Nady. No point in Hatton turning-up if he was appointed. We already know how much he loves Floyd, tells him before fights ::** And always stands out for me is his reffing of Eastman-Joppy. The fight ended up being Eastman vs Joppy and Nady.
He also ref'd Mayweather v Castillo II, he did well with that fight too. Good choice in my opinion.
phewQuote:

If it's one of those really big ass rings,Hatton's chances of cutting it off,cornering Mayweather are REALLY slim. He needs to try to get one of the smaller rings.
And I'm glad to see other Nady haters ;D :D I think he's awful and a cock sucker with regards to some boxers. And I HATE that dam stupid salute he does.
He's the worst high profile referee I've seen. For someone who loves breaking up fighters, he sure fucked up with Barrera-Marquez...which was the final straw for me. I had Marquez winning, but Barrera's superb straight right could have turned the fight. Yes, Barrera shouldn't have punched Marquez while he was down, but Nady was late in stepping in. He just stood there for like 2 seconds staring at the situation in front of him, and then jumped in. To not call that a knockdown and to dock Barrera a point pretty much sealed Marco's fate in that fight, and ruined what was a close fight up until then.Quote:

Thats quite releiving tbh , Even though its not confirmed it may be a sign of good things to come
It's a good thing we didn't do CC bets on who the ref would be, as I would have lost again. I figured Jay Lady would have got the ASSignment again. Him and his little Navy Boy salute is so Village People gay. Only time I liked him was when Zab had his glove around his throat. Joe is one of my favorite refs; anything is better than Gay Lady. Doesn't matter though, Hatton is still getting sacrificed LeftyLee. ;D
Oh I am gunna have some fun changing your name Legion!Quote:
