Was time called in? He punched him during a time-out, clock wasnt rolling! Cortez SUX

[Malius]

Let's say time is called in. Why was Cortez having a conversation with someone NOT IN THE RING??

[Bermuda]

ortiz even confirmed during the post fight conference that cortez did not say time-in..

[elgaringo]

We knew Cortez was going to be apart of it somehow Med.

Floyd knows the type of ref he can get from Cortez.

Someone that will allow him to restart his defense everytime he gets trapped on the ropes and an aging ref who spaces out during fights.

Ye you just have to watch the hatton mayweather fight to realise how much he's gonna side with floyd

Im pretty sure the official clock wasnt rolling, which means the punch was thrown during a time-out, which should be a DQ or a NC.

What a surprise that Joe Cortez would have his biggest staring roll yet, not only does he warn a point, but he just turns away and starts talking to the time keeper, you are supposed to send Floyd to the neutral corner and for him to stay there until you call time - in and you fight.

This fight was full of Fail.

Ortiz is just an idiot.
Joe Cortez is either corrupt or a dumb moron who needs to be "wiped off the planet"
Floyd proves again that he would kill his own mother for a $20 crack rock and that he can have boat loads of money but he will always be a low class hood scum and so will his kids.

Can someone check with the commision on what the rules are? Cortez NEVER motioned for time-in to be called to the Commision, once you motion for them to time-in do you tell the fighters to fight, he never told Floyd to STAND in the neutral corner, because if he did Floyd wouldnt by 3 feet away from Ortiz as he is in the corner looking away.

sad part about all this? *****'s being happy and excited, yea takes a real man to sucker punch someone twice for a "KO", good job ghetto home slice

You need to go back and rewatch the video. Because Cortez puts Ortiz in a neutral corner while telling him not to headbutt again and then while Mayweather is in the other corner clearly says "Let's Go".....and motions for them to come together...then points to the clock. I can't blame Cortez for that. Mayweather apparently didn't want to embrace and there's no rule against that.

jr did go in for a hug then as they pulled back he let go so he made a effort to convince him there was a break then all of a sudden he swings if that isn't hitting on the break while the ref isn't even paying attention
there is nothing honorable about that win jr is testing this karma notion to the max

yea totally ignore the fact that he was just headbutted in his chin rite? karma works both ways. stop being self righteous.

[Pacquiao'd]

if cortez called time in, why on earth he's looking at the other side and not at the boxers? or if he said "let's go" why does he still looking at the timekeeper? can't he do the sequences w/o him looking away?

cortez separated them then said "lets go" which means fight. Vic tried appologizing again, Floyd said ok, Floyd put hos hands up then popped Vic. It was a wrap

Ref never mentions anything about breaking....Joe clearly asks if the bell rung....yall making up stuff....Mayweather was wrong for hitting him but don't blame Cortez or try to act like Ortiz wasn't partially responsible...after all Ortiz has already hugged, kissed and then touched gloves with Mayweather prior to the punches that ended it.

ortiz even confirmed during the post fight conference that cortez did not say time-in..

He said let's go and montioned them to fight. Kick rocks

Look @ 21 seconds of video, Floyd is NOT IN THE NEUTRAL CORNER, HE IS JUST WANDERING AROUND, Then he proceeds to want to hug Ortiz and sucker punches him as Cortez turns around.

Real classy stuff, his fans can be proud.

This is what a Real, unbribed ref does:

Sends Floyd to neutral corner to chill
Takes off 1 point from ortiz and sends him to opposite corner
motions for time keeper for time-in
then says Fight in the center of the ring and proceeds to watch the fight.

What Cortez did:

Stops the fight and starts berating Ortiz on how bad he is with his head and takes away 1 point, MUTTERS "fight on" which fighters cant hear, Cortez is miced up so we can hear at home, but fighters cant hear him mumbling as the crowd is yelling,

Mayweather and Ortiz hug it out while Cortez has his back turned to them talking with the time keeper, he should have never allowed this
