Joe Cortez To Ref Joe Calzaghe-Bernard Hopkins

[hardmanbrit]

regardless he should not be rewarded for his bizarre and shoddy job in Hatton vs Mayweather.

Exactly.

Spot on.

My worst fears have been realized. Joe should never have agreed to fight in Vegas.

Cortez terribly biased refereeing in the Hatton fight indicated he doesn't like British fighters. He'll let Hopkins get away with his sneaky headbutts and other dirty stuff, while deducting a point or two from Joe for no good reason. We may have an early stoppage in Hopkin's favor.

You Calzaghe fans are pathetic with these conspiracy theories. Ricky Hatton had a reputation for mauling and holding so he had what was coming to him. Since Joe isn't known for being a guy who holds, he shouldn't have a problem now should he? This isn't the WWE and the ref will play no part in the loss column on Calzaghe's record.

I think Cortez is a lousy ref, but saying he is biased against British fighters ****ing ridiculous. Cortez has always loved to jump into the middle of the action and mess up fights and break them the second they clinch, wake up! anyone who says Cortez dislikes British fighters doesnt know what theyre talking about.

If this favors anyone, it favors Calzaghe, cause Cortez will break them the second Hopkins starts grabbing and biting and fouling while holding. thank goodness, it will turn out to be a lousy fight thanks to that, but at least Calzaghe will be basically guarenteed a win...

This is Good For Calzaghe... Because Cortez wont let Hopkins Lay on Calzaghe all night... because you know that what was what he was going to do

[GodOfWar]

That's a good thing for Calzaghe.

No its not, Cortez nutt hugs on American fighters.
