    ****ing Cortez.

    They better protest that ****.

    This was Soto's time to get some more exposure, and look.

    We all know the real outcome though. Its not like Lorenzo is going anywhere.

    That DQ looks ugly on his resume tho.

      They better over turn it. Cortez needs to be forced into retirement. **** that prick. Even Marquez said he didn't want him in the ring when he fights. Now we see why.

        Joe Cortez almost made Manny Steward break his promise to his daughter of not cursing on Tv anymore. Cortez is a **** referee!!!

          The man's a ****ing farce. How he got assigned Calzaghe vs Hopkins after the Mayweather-Hatton debacle, I'll never know.

          Did anybody see him getting interviewed? Trying to get in as many lame ass catchphrases as possible with his ****** **** eating grin.
          LOL yeah, he practically said, The guy reacted to a shot behind the head so I DQed Soto..... implying he didn't actually see ****.

            Cortez is absolutely terrible these days and should stop refereeing championship-level fights.

              Definitely protest it. Horrid display if refereeing. Soto should get some vindication for that.

                that cortez. his prefight interview was bull. when we get vids of that round
                your going to see cortez not like maybe do something that was wrong what we'll see is him having a senior moment. it was fckg wierd. and that grazing glancing swipe soto tried to pull back on when lorenzo took a knee didnt do no nothing! cortez should of gave soto one warning or taken a point then since lorenzo was on the canvas for more then 10 seconds fight should of been called soto ko!

                hey you see before the fight the camera caught tyson in the crowd. he he.
                he looked like a healthy jiminy cricket. with a tan!

                  That was pathetic. I'll never argue with a Hatton fan over Cotrez again.

                      It's a rough spot.

                      Was it a poor decision? Yes.

                      However, from Cortez's view he believed that punch was both behind the head and while his opponent was down... if he allowed the fight to continue and then he was injured, Cortez would've gotten his ass chewed out big-time. Bad result, but I understand where he's coming from in his actions.
