Joe Cortez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the hatton-floyd fight, I gave him a pass. I avoided the thought of how awful he is as a ref in that fight.

When they announce he was going to be the ref for joe-bhop, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. he suck in the floyd-hatton, I thought he'd do better and not make himself a big factor since he already made a lot of fans pissed by how he refs.

Now its getting rediculous, I don't ever want to see him in a big fight. EVER!!!!!!!!


p.s. FXCK CORTEZ, YEA YOU BOLDY FXCK YOU, YOU BIAS BASTARD! YOU BASE YOUR IM FIRM BUT IM FAIR ON A DONKEYS ASS, YOU FXCKING JACKARS! you suck!

Cortez was a disgrace.
In the Hatton fight he decided to prevent Ricky from clinching and working close.
Yet he allows Hopkins to grab maim and foul Calzaghe for the entire fight.
Disgrace

Cortez ruined the fight by letting Hopkins hold all night .

He didnt know how to react either when Hopkins decided he needed a break and went down .

Cortez was a disgrace, but at least the judges were fair. Hopkins was allowed to foul for twelve rounds and given a couple of rests and he still couldn't win.

Absolutely what I was seeing. When the fight started I told my girl: "you watch Cortez let Hop do exactly what he wouldn't let Hatton do".

I was amazed Cortez didn't take points from Calazaghe for the "low blows". He should have been taking points from Hop for holding and more than a handful of times hitting on the break.

Either way, a messy fight, and no one looks good fighting ole' Hopkins. What a nightmare that must be.

Cortez last night seemed to always get it wrong. He'd let Bernard hold all the time, and then the few times when they came together when it looked like it would be an exchange and they could punch it out, he'd step in super quick and break them.

In Cortez's defense refereeing this fight was ALWAYS going to be a nightmare for any referee and considering the amount of flak Cortez got for not allowing Hatton to hold against Floyd you would expect him to be consciously wary of breaking up the action so much this time.

I totally agree!!!What made me laugh was his "MOTO PHASE!"of "IM FIRM BUT FAIR!"What a :willydance:(Nob)He should never referee ever again especially in the big major fights.For god sake we all want to see the fight progress but how can it when you have a crap referee like him.He's a joke!

Cortez was alright last night IMO, though it did prove how wrong he was against Hatton.

I thought this may be the case too, we were angry when he wouldn't let Hatton grab and brawl on the inside. So this time he let that kind of fight happen, just conveniently it was for the home fighter yet again. :rolleyes:

Cortez has some unreasonable bias agianst us Brits, I think he posts on here under the name Violent Demise. ;)

GOOD CRACK!!!!:-X:-X;D;D;)

Most Refs have an agenda to please the Promoter make no mistake. But Cortez takes the piss :rolleyes: the Bounder.

I don't get all this hatred of Cortez. He was breaking up the clinches quickly, ensuring that Hopkins couldn't eat up more time in the clinches. (And when was the last time you saw a ref impose his will on Hopkins, making him fight like he's supposed to... punching more and lunging and clinching less.)

Hopkins milked a questionable low blow. But who is the ref to say that a punch that did land in the cup area does not warrant a 5-minute rest, which is granted by the rules? And the second time... yes, Cortez took a few seconds to sort it out. But he did command Hopkins to continue fighting.

Bottom line: Hopkins has been fighting this style of fight during his entire lengthy career. Why trash the ref now because the fight was closer than Calzaghe fans would've liked?

Could this have more to do with Calzaghe's inability to finish off Hopkins that with the ref? Just asking.

I couldn't agree more. Cortez looked very indecisive lastnite, and this has always been the case with him

Once again, Joe Cortez has given bad connotations to my screen name.

He seems determined to do this and apparently will stop at nothing.



Either I will have to change my name, or I will have to kill Joe Cortez :-X

I second that.

Refs like Cortez should be quartered like a criminal. I mean, if he does that with a million people watching his every move, what would he do when no one's watching?

I dunno, spank off :confused:.

Remember when I said Joe was a terrible ref?

After tonight, do you still need any more proof?

The fight should have been stopped and ruled a knock out.

What the phuk was Joe doing up there?

Joe was on the take on this fight too.

OMG!

Joe needs to be fired or investigated.
I said it after the PBF/Hatton fight and I will say it again tonight.

yeah that decision was f&^kd up!

i also said a few months ago that joe should retire!

Joe problem was he was trying to stop the fights 3X and he never called out his intentions so of course the fighters keep fighting.. Joe scored the blood on the back of his head unfortunately....

BS desicion

Cortez was one of the best boxing refs out there and you all knew that but sadly he lost his edge and started doing bad officiating fight after fight i think he will be fired after this but he clearly talked to alot of people to decide this.

But how fucking hard is to watch the tv monitors?:mad:

Forget Floyd vs Ricky Hatton floyd was just to good but this was a joke tonight.

the s.o.b. sucked again! :mad:

I respect Joe for sticking to his decision despite the obvious harsh criticism to come after the fact

With that said that was the worst decision I have ever seen a ref make in my life by far...

The pink tie waering commentators finally allowed to view some boxing and that is the scene I was subjected to. That was an absurd decision and I dont understand how it was made.

Cortez is a disgrace. There is an unsavoury aspect to every fight he is involved in these days. It is time he was forcibly retired. He just brings the sport into disrepute.

cortez is a moron and kizer is just as bad


the only positive thing to come from that is that larry hazzard finally got some damn respect



anyway, that whole thing happened cuz cortez became confused and seemed unable to decide if he was stopping the fight or not, pulling soto away, letting him attack again, and then pulling him away

Very indecisive and cluless on call...looked for backing up and support from other officials ......Ignorance abounds with me right now.......Fuck that asshole,should face an over view commitee and Needs "A rest".....douch bag!!!!!!!!Lorenzo was KO'd physically and mentally and made his own descision there,Cortez reacted.....breath 1,2,3.....breath

yeah F**K Cortez. i'm very disapointed. They should just drop him. Go ref some amature fights or something. He wouldnt even be able to ref a fight between two 10 year olds fighting in a school yard for that matter if i had a say in it. Very upset Joe. :mad:

Cortez was incompetent! indecisive! Clueless!!!

He has no business as the 3rd man in the ring ever again.

Also, while Cortez was looking for somebody to make up his mind...where in the hell was the doctor or Lorenzo's corner people after the fight was stopped? The guy was gushing blood from a cut over his eye and nostrils where his nose used to be, and no one even offered the guy a fucking towel or anything!!! This went on for over 5mins! And then you see Cortez brushing his face with a clean towel to wipe the sweat while Lorenzo basically laid in a pool of his own blood. None of those officials had any idea what the fuck they were doing! And Cortez should be put out to pasture...immediately!!

I hope Cortez gets stuck reffing' the Special Olympics:mad: That way he won't be the only retard around.

I don't care about Cortez. But I hated to see that happen to Soto. He should of got the win

I didn't watch the boxing last night what happened regarding this Cortez situation ??
