Joe Cortez is a horrible Ref no matter what fight. I'd say he has more contraversy around him than any other. Makes Russel Mora look like a saint.

Even if Cortez was looking at the fighter what is he suppose to do yell at Ortiz to get his hand he going to hit you ? NO !! The fighter were order to continue fighting period .. The circumstances as to why Ortiz to drop his hand and hug was his own choice, and was not the responsibility of Cortez or Floyd too look after. The ref job is the make sure the fight is fair and the safety of the fighter if the fighter can not defend himself, NOT if the fighter DECIDES NOT TO DEFEND HIMSELF which Ortiz did in this case.

"Oh wait let me think about larry Mechant all the critics and fans before i knoeck this guy out, maybe i should wait and think about what may be best for my legacy in the future" Thats alot to sit there and think about in 1 second

Cortez is the worst ref in boxing, he needs to be retired.
It's easy to say Ortiz made a rookie mistake, he did but Cortez NEVER instructed either boxer to continue, he did however turn to the judges/time keeper and say something about ready to restart and Ortiz went and hugged Mayweather then bang and Joe for all his glory was looking out into the crowd.
Worst refereeing I've seen in boxing for sometime, but Joe has ****ed up a bunch of times now, ironically 2nd Mayweather fight I can recall.

Cortez ****ed up, again.

Why would Cortez tell them to fight and then ask the timekeeper if he was ready? Does that actually make sense to anybody here?
