The punch was illegal, and the headbutt was accidental.
This BLATANTLY DELIBERATE headbutt from two weeks ago wasn't legal:

What if the referee had deducted a point from Berto, and then Zaveck sucker punched him when the ref is looking at the timekeeper to re-start the clock?
What would you say then?
You have double standards.
Are fucking serious? Why was Ortiz apologizing like he just did something really bad?
is going to ruin the fight as a spectacle. Jump in all the time... not let them break in their own time off punches.
Hope I'm wrong.
thats wild. i thought the exact same **** when i first saw he was the ref.i didnt know he was the ref until the gomez/canelo fight when he was giving ortiz/may directions. then to see the way it played it blew my mind and answered my predictions of some type of scandalous fight.
You were right.
Joe Cortez ruined the fight. Floyd should have been DQed for that sucker punch.
You didnt see the head butt , thats was the only foul , your nothing but sniveling pommy hater with a sh1t whine like that , what Floyd did was perfectly legal , he punched the mortal sh!t out of him and would have stopped him anyway , if the ref says fight and you stand there like a goose while in with a real champ your gunna get punched in the head ,,,, wake up kid and learn the rules of boxing !!
By the way Floyd looked brilliant and very strong he will flog Pac , it wont be close , go and cry about that .
i knew some BS was gonna happen..i have to admit though Floyd looked great no way pacman beats him
REMATCH? MAKE IT HAPPEN NO CHEATING THIS TIME FLOYD ;)

You win the internets!

Bull****, if he let fighters fight in the inside we could have easily had a different outcome to Maidana/Khan. Some of you British posters make me sick to my stomach. You show too much british biased towards Khan all the time. Khan go kill someone and the British would find a way to make him look like a hero.
And then some of you go as far to cry racism because boxing fans don't like to see special treatment in boxing with boxers getting favored by the refs.
Did you not see Khan get hit with many clean punches from Maidana and not being dropped? The pure hard facts are that Maidana came up short in that fight, people like you just couldn't take the fact that the puncher was in fact the one who got dropped not the boxer with the glass chin. That's not even mentioning the countless rounds Khan outboxed him for. Give him a rematch with a different ref and you'll see the same outcome.
As for the rest of your post i don't even know what you're talking about it's all bollocks that's not even relevant.
Unfortunately - you better get the video camera ready IMO. I mean, why would Cortez stop fukkin up fights NOW??? :nonono: (which is why I'm not sure if I want to buy the fight or wait for the FREE replay)
battery is already charging............ beer is being bought and put on ice, whiskey is already opened and ready for consumption.....
i really just pray we don't even see the guy tonight, personally I don't want to do it, i've been putting it off for a couple of years, but as time wears on, I can't take it anymore........
i feel as if, as a boxing fan, i'm being pushed into this by his actions/inactions......
at any rate, i was worked up before, still am, but i will respect the mans home and his privacy, at least to a certain extent, pending how it unfolds, but I want accountability.
it's too easy to dismiss things and brush them off with the standard " it's a judgement call " it's not a judgement call when your actions are predetermined i.e. " fair but firm " aka " fvcked up and retarded ".. you can see the mans agenda unfold inside the ring....
cortez used to be good, but after he tried going the celebrity route with the " i'm lame(fair) but gay(firm) " he pigeonholed himself into making bad decisions.....
if he misses one call he tries to make it up with a bad call the other way, then it's a back and forth thing and the fight gets ruined...
how many times have we seen this guy ALL CONFUSED inside the ring during fights recently........
cortez isnt capable anymore, and if he is, then he's on the take, there are no excuses for his actions over the last 8 years give or take a year.
i think out of that whole last 8 years, i think i've agreed with maybe one of his calls!?!? maybe two!?!?! and that is being generous......
Whilst Cortez is a pretty crap ref i don't agree that he has such an impact that he causes fighters to lose fights.
Mayweather was always going to outclass Hatton, doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that one out. Khan took Maidana's best punches and never went down, it's just an excuse Maidana fans/Khan haters want to use to say that Maidana would have won if it wasn't for Cortez.
He's not the best ref but he won't be the difference between winning or losing for Ortiz. I really hope he is not used as an excuse when Mayweather wins.
this list goes on and on, look what he did to Soto, giving him a DQ loss.... without any prior warnings......
the guy is a cancer, and I swear, if he botches this fight and makes it into a sh!tty fight when it might have the potential of being good if not a great fight?? ( jury still out on that, no pun intended )...... i will PERSONALLY GO TO CORTEZ'S HOUSE ( because i know where he lives, not far from me ) I WILL WAIT FOR HIM TO GET HOM IN HIS DRIVE WAY AND PERSONALLY TELL HIM HE NEEDS TO RETIRE OR FACE AN ALL OUT BOYCOTT AND PETITION TO HAVE HIM REMOVED FROM THE SPORT!!!!!
I am so sick of the guy, I WILL DO THIS, i've thought about it before, but now, if he pulls some crap this time, I AM DOING IT, MARK MY WORDS.......
i might even go so far as to video tape it......... at the very least, I hope I don't have to do it, but someone needs to confront the guy, he's ruining boxing and fighters lives as well as crippling some guys careers!
the guy is a cancer to the sport!!!!
mark my words fellas, I am a man of muthafvcking action!

lmao is that legit or shopped?
The part with Mayweather with his arm over Cortez is legit, it's from a different fight of Floyd's - after the fight. The photo is photoshopped from another photo and combined with the legit poster LOL. Does that make sense Mik? :lol1:
Joe Cortez is a great referee, you Hatton guys just have to move on.
BS its not about only mayweather vs hatton he helped joe calzaghe vs bernard hopkins and khan vs maidaina
