How many fights does Cortez have to clearly mess up on for him to get fired?

have to disagree with OP. How is saying "Let's Box" and chopping your hand down between the fighters and the fighters coming together touching gloves in response to that "messing up" as a ref? YES he looked away for a bit too long, must admit. Had he been looking, he MAY have stopped the action after Floyd's left hook and PERHAPS warned him for hitting on the break? Was there even a "break" in the same sense that a clinch is then ordered to "break"? I dont know.....anybody? Where the fuck is Harold Lederman when you need him

why does there need to be blame? blame for what? the only illegal thing that happened was the deliberate head butt. everything else was legit. so why are we trying to blame anyone for anything.

ortiz was the only one at fault when he headbutted floyd. he was penalized 1 point as punishment. then the fight restarted. for some strange reason instead of walking forward with his hands up ready to trade blows ortiz walked forward and tried to hug mayweather. strange tactic in boxing match...but who am i to judge? then mayweather dropped him.

i don't even see what cortez has to do with any of this. he separated the fighters deducted the point. walked ortiz to the corner and said "Whats the matter with you, man? Don't be doing that. Don't be doing that!" and told them to resume fighting. cortez did so by swinging his arms together in unison, whilst backing out of from between them and can clearly be heard say the words "Lets go." Cortez then looks to the time keeper to confirm that the clock has started. all the while ortiz is trying to make out with mayweather. you know the rest...

why are you trying to blame cortez for ortiz' unorthodox strategy of fighting with his hands down?
there's no need to blame anyone for anything cause nothing happened.

If he didn't call "Fight" then Mayweather should be disqualified and charged with assault!

If he did call "Fight" then Cortez should be fired for not watching the match he's reffing!

Simples!

wrong. Cortez doesnt have to watch the fight every split second. Refs do plenty of other shit. Pick up mouthpieces, look for spilt water on the canvass, ask cornermen to wipe up water, look at the ring doctor, look at the judges, check the timekeeper, warn cornermen for too vocal coaching, etc.
