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!

Cortez has always been an egotistical biased buffoon every fight he officiates he tries to make The Joe Cortez Show the fact 2 guys are fighting is secondary
Cortez, Kizer heck the whole vegas commision should go

Joe Cortez is actually Telly Savalas (of Kojak fame)

[:::PSL:::]

You're full of shit Cortez.

[Spicoli]

Nope,Night of sleep does not sooth this B.S away.What a crock of shite from Cortez.Seems way too smug and smiley about the whole affair .Lorenzo not only succumbed To LEGAL punches in the corner ,he was shaking his head while standing as if to say "F!!! this,I'm out" and his right eye was torn open.....where was "Fair & firm" intervening and looking out for Lorenzo??He waits until lorenzo go's down where he was giving in and a clipping follow through lands....Can not deny that but at no point did Cortez rule he was unable to continue because of that shot.....did he even try to address Lorenzo and examine him?He was bleeding like a stuck pig and Cortez was more Interested in C.Y.A from what I saw!

Also Matthews has it backwards....Instant Replay should not be a "Luxary"....It should be Mandatory after this crap!

What bothers me is that at no point has anyone ask the key question. Yes he was hit after he went down. Every body saw that and most of know that that is a big no no.

The real question that no one has ask is, was that punch intentional. That is what decides if a DQ is deserved or not. Was Soto's punch an intentional foul. And the answer is clearly NO so the DQ is clearly BULLSHIT...

Three big fights three dreadful displays its time HBO and the NSAC pull the plug on this clown and retire him he is becoming as poor as Jay Nady.

Cortez is being consistant thats all.

Hatton lost a point for hitting the top rope so an accidental illegal blow must be either a 2pt deduction or a dq.

Going by Cortezs logic
