Kirkland fight SPOILERS!!

Didn't Cortez ref Pac - JMM 1?

Actually, I think he did which makes it even more dodgy. At least if the referee is consistent then you know what you are dealing with, but Cortez isn't. A different example is with holding. He let Hopkins hold Calzaghe all night long and yet Hatton wasn't allowed near Floyd.

At least be consistent so that you know where you stand.

I think often the corner must speak to the ref before the fight and complain. Complain about elbows, holding, low blows when he's in trouble whatever. I think the idea is to get the ref to watch for it rather than let him pick it up on his own. I know in American football that's what they teach us.
