They don't have the advantage of camera angles, commentators etc, to help with the split second decisions they make. Some of these decisions and actions by the ref's and judges do appear unexcusable but once again easy to say from your chair at home. Hell in this past fight if the roles were reversed and ortiz ko'ed floyd after a headbutt. Cortez would be a hero right now....tough gig is all im sayin, i couldn't do it so i won't be so quick to slam cortez for his bonehead moves
And I would agree with this view if it didn't seem like cortez made bonehead moves in every other fight he refs...and obviously it can be done properly because you don't ever hear someone badmouth smogger.
