Joe Cortez

[Ray Ray]

So Joe Cortez preventing Floyd Mayweather from taking punishment to the body, AND forcing Ricky Hatton to expend MORE ENERGY had no bearing on Ricky Hatton running out of gas and getting knocked out by a fresh Floyd Mayweather?

Get real. Joe Cortez effected the fight.

You can try to belittle Floyd all you want to homie but he won the fight fair and square. DEAL WITH IT. You can blame the ref all you want but its in the books and it aint **** you can do or say to change the outcome.

NOW YOU BE FOR REAL AND STOP BLAMING THE REF. AND ACCEPT THE OUTCOME.

Joe Cortez was horrible tonight!!!!

He really was.... Floyd hit hatton with so many elbows and his trademark forearm to the face all night. I thought all that stuff was illegal. I knew Floyd was gonna use it because he used it against Castillo and it worked good, but this time he didnt stop using it ALL night and Joe was oblivious to it even when up close. Was he even looking at the fight?

So what you're saying is that Cortez soften up Hatton for the KO. How did he affect the outcome of the fight. I'm very curios to see what is your reasoning. The fight ended in a stoppage so How did Cortez affect the outcome of the fight?

Believe it or not, Body shots actually take alot of energy out of a fighter.

Beleive it or not, Working your way inside against a taller hard hitting fighter takes alot of energy.

Beleive it or not, Joe Cortez sparing Floyd the body assault, and forcing Ricky to repeatedly work his way inside EFFECTED THE FIGHT.

I believe that without Joe Cortezs intervention, the fight would have went the distance. Ricky got tired. Ricky got careless, Ricky got caught, Ricky got knocked out.

Ricking getting tired is directly related to Joe Cortez. Therefore, Ricky getting careless is directly related to Joe Cortez. Therefore, Ricky getting knocked out is DIRECTLY RELATED TO JOE CORTEZ.

I KNEW this **** was going to happen.
The gloves.. the size of the ring... JOE CORTEZ...
In the 8th and 9th rounds, Mayweather not only smashed Hatton on the outside.. He out worked Hatton on the INSIDE as well. Well placed body shots, while Hatton was trying to hit Mayweather during the clinches.
Watch the fight again. You'll see Mayweather start going to the body with some pretty good shots in those rounds.
Whatever. I had Mayweather winning by TKO in the 10th.
I was wrong.
But not by much.

Joe Cortez ****** tonight. I think both Mayweather and Hatton fans are pissed with his over the top involvement.

You really want an explanation?

Ricky wasn't allowed to fight on the inside and Floyd kept turning away from him or ducking below the waistline getting away without caution. By the time of the point reduction floyd blatently milked it.

This really pissed Ricky off who admittedly should have kept his cool but changed his fight completely, if you get a point deducted against the best fighter in the world, you panic and open yourself up a lot more.

Because he was more open he got caught a lot more, before the point reduction Ricky wasn't in any trouble, same time it was a hell of a hook that caught Ricky and that can't be taken away from Mayweather, but Cortez shouldn't have acted like he did

i knew jeez, he was breakin them like wildfire, when the fighters were fighting there way out of the clinch. He was in the fight to much in the first few rounds, he shouldnt have done that

, there's already a Joe Cortez thread...

So what!
Make another one and spread the truth!

Joe was right there standing and watching Floyd sling those elbows and was just trying to ignore it. What a shame and a sham Joe 'SellOut' Cortez turned out to be.
