Joe Cortez To Ref Joe Calzaghe-Bernard Hopkins

[!! Shawn]

Seriously after the Tszyu fight, where Hatton could have shanked Tzsyu on the inside and gotten away with it, why would people even cry about it?

Because other than the point deduction you talked about (which had no impact), and a bad break in round 2, I saw Cortez doing his job.

One bad reffing job is not a justification for another.

O This is bad news....

The Bum Bandit Cortez Is Gonna Strike Again!!!

[MelMel]

Thats all it takes.

Joe Cortez is a biased BUM.

1 isn't a pattern.

[James78]

This is surely a ****** decision, after the Hatton fight it shouldn't be Cortez in there, if only to stop discussions like this from happening!

[ИATAS]

well this definitely benefits Calzaghe much more then Hopkins

[Chase8400]

Definitely. Not sure if it will be exciting though. As much as I love boxing, Hopkins bores me.

NO! The fight is on regular HBO Championship Boxing.

NO! The fight is on regular HBO Championship Boxing.

Tha, id still pay for it though.

[duffgun]

well bhop is the dirty fighter so i would have thought it favors Calzaghe.

[Chase8400]

Tha, id still pay for it though.

So would I. Without question.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While I think Cortez did an average job with Hatton-Mayweather, this puts the fight at risk of people bitching here and there.

Hopkins fan: Didn't let him fight his fight!
Calzaghe fan: Unfair!!


I think it'd be better if people didn't use Cortez for a while.
