SPOILER!

The following video has Joe Cortez explaining himself.

Viddler.com - Cortez Interview after Soto/Lorenzo bout - Uploaded by LostTapes

He sort of has a point but he was getting in the way and causing the confusion IMO. This does not show everything that led up to this so, don't judge what happend by this video alone. If you did not see the fight, don't say shit. lol

You can explain anything away when you have 1,001 rules on your side.

He was a joke he jumped in the way and stopped it and Lorenzo was not even down so Soto had every right to punch and if Lorenzo was ruled to be down Cortez should have been in there quicker!

Every fighter gets pummelled on the way down what you gonna do disqualify them all?

If so Pavlik should have lost by DQ to Miranda and Taylor they were half way down taking shots.

Yes im going by Joe Coretz and his crazy world of boxing so from now on Pavlik is 32-2!

If you watch him stubble his words out he first says he was DQ`d for a punch behind the head and Lorenzo could not continue when the commentator told him it was a phantom punch Cortez said i Dg`d him for punching a man when he was down that illegal.

Clown.

I don't know what's funnier; what you wrote or Cortez's silly Mr. Potato Head. Doesn't matter; f#ck that dude. He ruined the whole night with his shennanigans Make some more pics of him Danny.

Good shyt Danny................. I said the same thing to the entire household of people that came over to catch the fight.


As soon as Cortez started to initiate breaks for no reason (other than that the guy he wanted to win was a second from getting KTFO) I knew that he had been bought.

It's obvious Cortez was corrupted by Team Mayweather. Once a persons integrity is compromised, others will use that against you and force you to continue to do dirty deeds. Cortez needs to be banned. He is not old or senile, he is just corrupted. Even Stevie Wonder who was in the stands was yelling 'THIS IS BULLSH1T!

Joe Cortez is actually Telly Savalas (of Kojak fame)

[:::PSL:::]

You're full of shit Cortez.

[SalTheButcher]

clearly from that he is insisting it was hitting a downed opponent that ended the fight, while kizer was claiming it was a blow to the back of the head



either way i doubt its corruption, unless ALOT of people layed ALOT money on soto there would be no point


i think its straight incompetence, and i dont think cortez would have to be in on any corruption kizer thought up anyway, hes so senile at this point that kizer can just direct him into participating without even knowing

Nuh I dont think it's corruption either.. He's just a bit of a plonker that has ref'd one to many fights recently... At one stage I enjoyed hearing that Cortez would be refereeing certain fights I was looking forward to... Now I litereally cringe at it... You can almost gaurantee by round 3, it'll be clearly established which fighter he is hoping to take home and bang that night...
It's sad to see an even matchup be tainted by a ref who picks and chooses the way he is going to referee each fight.. And it's almost a gaurantee that it'll heavily favour one fighter or the other..

I hate Cortez. He was a great ref at one time with great timing for protecting fighters and being "fair but firm" and all that shit. The Hatton fight fucked me off and I just seen this which was even worse! What a crock of shite!! He had him hurt and was going for the kill, just take a point off. Silly bald twatbag he is.

He should quit and become a Santa in a shopping mall at christmas.

This is all you hear from him these days "HO, HO HO HO HO, HO"

"Ricky noooo ho ho ho ho"

"Soto NOOOOOOOOOO HO HO HO"
