Cortez: "Hatton wasn't allowed to fight his style"

[Run]

ANd why did Cortez split them up so often. Boxing is inclose and from long range. How are body punchers supposed to work from long distance?
PBF fights long and Hatton fights short range. Why did the ref favour the long range fight?
PBF might have still won. BUt ive been denied a great fight, like SRL and duran.

Because when they were in close, the fight was on a boring....****** path. All Hatton did was smother Mayweather and not let him get off........throwing half blocked punches and doing his best impression of not holding while holding and hitting. Cortez didn't favor the "long range" fight. He favored the "fist fight" which was a fight not limited to a stand up wrestling match. Either way all the crying, is sour g****s.

Officiating had nothing to do with Hatton getting knocked out.

Breaking up the fighters when they are not clinching though is another matter. I thought the point deduction was typical of the way he refereed the fight but it was by no means his greatest sin.

True, but there were many instances where Floyd and Hatton were tied up, and Cortez started to come in and break them up while they untangled themselves. It made him look bad, but he wasnt biased and definitly did not have the outcome on the fight that so many people are claiming he did.

I really cannot understand how anyone can argue with the point deduction, it was a deliberate attempt by Hatton to hit Floyd in the head after being warned twice.

Nah man! hatton was the dirty fighter and Mayweather just happend to hit with the same ****. That Punch and hold **** would have gone on for 12 rounds! Who the *** wants to see that ****. If any of ya were smart ya'd know that almost all Hatton fights! Hatton does illegal moves and PBF K.O'd the dude and put forearms and elbows in his face because Hatton was trying to cling on to him. Don't know bout ya but if someone tried to cling on to me over and over I'd push him off with forearms and elbows.

You guys act like Hatton was a saint in the ring. Hatton did as much holding and wrestling as Floyd used his elbow which was used to push Hatton back when holding. Besides it was a KO not a decision so stop with the ****ing threads and the complaining your making you Hatton fans look even worst.

I haven't actually specified my complaints with the referee so you are jumping to conclusions.

Let me make this abundantly clear because some people are obviously having great difficulty taking this in: THE REFEREEING HAD NO IMPACT ON THE OUTCOME OF THE FIGHT, MAYWEATHER WOULD HAVE WON THE FIGHT ANYWAY.

Hopefully the window lickers among us will have understood that and digested it which allows me to make my next point. Although the refereeing had no impact on the fight, that does not mean it should be ignored. Bad refereeing is bad refereeing period and Cortez should be accountable for his performance.

Hatton got KO so you guys who are saying Cortez caused that, you seriously need some ****ing help.

“It’s only the Brits who are criticizing me” CORTEZ


“The ones who have criticized me are the Brits, they are used to fighting dirty and using those tactics” CORTEZ

“Maybe in Europe they allow him to do that but I don’t allow that. Its simple, I cannot allow that. No one in the United States has ever said anything like this to me. It’s only the Brits. However, we have to understand that their fighter lost and that’s why. He wasn’t allowed to fight his style” CORTEZ

Regarding the point deduction of Hatton.

“If he hit him hard or not, I have no Idea. It may not have been intentional, but it was a dirty blow. I had to take control from the beginning. I always tell trainee referee’s that you must take control of the fight early or you will lose control” CORTEZ

When asked why he didn’t take a point from Floyd Mayweather for Elbow’s?

“Mayweather wasn’t using the elbows to hit him or cause him harm, he was just defending himself” CORTEZ

Cortez is not lying!! People, let's use some common sense here.

I don't see your point but I'm sure that you see mine, Mozza. I merely made the same observation as Cortez.

Well Cortez' point is a sly one. He is diverting attention from himself by claiming that anyone complaining about the decision is a sore loser which I find more than a tad condescending.

Both fighters fought dirty, but Mayweather is more crafty about it and gets away with it. Cortez was a poor referee in the fight. He over-officiated from the 1st bell, sticking his nose in like a hound-dog at every oppurtunity to do so.

These comments he made are very unproffesional. Refs should not be talking like this. It makes them look bad.

Whether Floyd would have won or not is not the issue. The reffing job was poor. The elbows and clamping down of Ricky's left arm by Floyd were rampant.

It isn't at all condescending and indeed, it can be used as a fallacious manevuer, but for you to not admit that this is a convenience and that it is the truth, then you are working under the same motives as you accuse him.
