The point were you made the comment that "We" should all not be just slagging off Cortez,due to the fact that YOU also think Dave Paris is just as bad at refereeing as Joe Cortez was or is.The fact of the matter between them two refs is that Dave Paris let Darry Mathews have 3 chances to make the 8count...Which Derry did,He showed Heart and determination by doing soo.That fight was under the rules of the WBO which rules out the standard 3 knock-down rule that most of the other boxing board dont allow.So Dave Paris was right to continue the way he did during the Mathews fight in respect of the rulings of the WBO.Where as Cortez was Bang out of order on the Hatton and Mayweather fight due to him getting hold of Hatton and talking to him up close while he(Hatton)was trying to unload inside shots....there was simple no reason for it!Of course boxers are allowed to fight up close,"Thats part of the game",but somehow Cortez did'nt think soo.Funny though because during the Hatton Vs Costillio fight he did'nt once applyed any of the horrible tactics that he brought in the major Hatton Vs Mayweather bout.
Get those facts right you![]()
