    Who will Cortez favor Hopkins or Calzaghe?

    We all know Cortez its a very biased ref just look at the Castillo vs Hatton fight and compare it to the Mayweather vs Hatton fight
    He clearly sides with the favorite when Hatton was the favorite against Castillo he let him do his wrestling and deducted Castillo a point for just one lowblow ignoring all Hatton holding and hitting and illegal punches
    When Floyd was the favorite the moment Hatton holded Mayweather Cortez inmediatly separated them and he deducted a point from Hatton for hitting the top rope!
    So the question is who is Cortez favoring april the 19th?

    He will favor Hopkins. Cortez is always on the rag so the less active fighter is his favorite. BTW, you can add a poll at any time with 'thread tools.'

        Cortez is a house ref, so naturally he'll favor the house fighter, Hopkins. Lets see if he is as strict with his standards as he was on Hatton. That being said, he'll probably try to avoid making himself as much a part of the story as he did last time.

            In fairness to myself, I chose the third option... not because I believe Cortez is fair, but because I know that I'm an idiot. Apologies accepted.

                  Hopkins, i just wonder if he tries to pull Joe up for his so-called slaps which are normal punches thrown from crazy angle.

                    Well, if the Hatton fight is used as a basis you'd think he'd favour Calzaghe as it won't be him trying to turn it into an inside fight.

                    He's American though, and they're all corrupt and favour the home fighter, so it'll be Hopkins.

                    That last bit might be untrue
