Re: Cortez did it for his Country and his Job
I have just watched the fight again and i am actually astonished at how much of a mess Cortez made of the fight....
and without sounding like a sore loser, he pretty muched fucked up any (little) chance Hatton had of winning the fight.
How anybody can not see how bias he was needs glasses imo. From watching the first 4 rounds and he pulled Hatton up 12 times for a foul and didn't pull Mayweather up once.....yet from watching the fight the most obvious fouls seemed to be commited by Mayweather (forearms, elbows, holding, bending below the waisteline etc...)
Round 2 is a perfect example. Remember what Hatton got a point deducted for? Pushing through the ropes and aiming a punch at the back of Floyds head....well Mayweather did exactly the same thing to Hatton in the 2nd and didn't get so much as a telling off.
That is even more disgraceful than Cortez only allowing them to fight on the inside once Hatton was cut.
Cortez also shouts to Hatton 'don't hit him when he goes down' which is also a very confusing instruction. He was referring to Mayweather bending down to avoid punches. Does this mean everytime he adopts this defence, his opponent is not allowed to throw a punch at him?
Don't get me wrong, i'm not simply whining cos Hatton lost......Mayweather was top top class. I'm simply whining because on second viewing it is quite evident that Cortez spolit any chance hatton had of winning, by overprotecting a fighter who quite frankly can look after himself. (mayweather)
