    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.

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

    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 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.

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

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