Hatton vs Mayweather

And

Calzaghe vs Hopkins


the worst case of i told you so biased ever in a boxing official?

get out of here, Mayweather got the better of the inside exchanges anyway, if the ref had let them go at it in close it would have been over even quicker,

get over it

yeah it was pretty biased... mayweather got a way with so many headbutts and elbows and holding, it wasn't even funny.

I agree.

But what made me the most angry I've ever been about a boxing match, was what he did to Humberto Soto in Soto-Lorenzo I. :ugh:

I've never seen Lampley and Steward more angry than they were after that fight. After the fight, I sent an e-mail to Joe Cortez, telling him he's a disgrace and should retire.

Very biased in the Mayweather fight, I think Floyd was even surprised at the advantages he was getting from Cortez.

Then to turn around and ref the Calzaghe/Hopkin fight completely the opposite way was an insult to boxing fans.

I agree.

Yep agree with the original sentiment, but this was far worse. He used to be a great referee but should now retire.

The thing is, Cortez actually thinks he'sna big shot. He's got his own website, www.imfairbutimfair.com.

Yep Joe Cuntez should retire, hes obviously gotten too old and can't ref like he used too.

How hard is it to ref?

There are truly some die hard hatton fans on this board. I'm sick of hearing people say, and Hatton cry about the ref in the fight. Yes, in the recent years Cortez has had some questionable fights that he ref'd, but this wasn't one of them. Mayweather got away with using his foreatm to create space a few times, but that was it. Hatton gets away with wrestling throughout most of his fights. The way the fight was ref'd when he beat Kostya was horribly in his favor. Yet Kostya took his loss like a man and didn't complain. I do believe Hatton is a great fighter, but he is not on Mayweathers level, and the ref didn't play a part in that fight.

No one's crying about the Hatton loss son.

Just highlighting Cortez's bias.

Watch Hatton v Mayweather then Calzaghe v Hopkins.

Disgraceful refereeing without question.

He should definately retire.

There is a couple of videos on youtube showing illegal moves by Floyd Mayweather and they are apparent such as using elbows and ducking below the belt.

Non the less Hatton would of lost if they had a competant ref because it wasn't his night.

I hope Kenny Bayless refs the Hatton -V- Pac man fight

Yeah Bayless is an awesome ref

Mayweather won two years ago, its time to get over it.

No one's crying about the Hatton loss son.

How can you talk about bias and have a Khan vs. Barrera signature? That is one of the best examples of ****ty "refereeing" in recent memory.

Cortez kept Hopkins in the Calzaghe fight, with a netrual ref Hoppo would have been deducted points or dropped of exhaustion.

Yeah Bayless is an awesome ref
And great news he has been appointed to ref the fight.

A terrible ref. If I was a promoter I would throw him on his ass.
