cortez wont let maidana get his inside work.. or any clinching like in the hatton vs mayweather fight he doesnt accept much holding... even more convinced khan will have the advantage when it comes to distance..khan ud

[LoStranger]

adantage for Khan Cortez doesnt like alot of holding and fighting inside for too long

[-Boxzilla-]

cortez should be retired ... or at the least not be getting high profile fights like this. hes lost it, every fight he officiates of late has some sort of controversy or mistake being made on his part. its a real shame he was chosen and i hope he doesnt **** this one up

[FloydTBE]

was a slip

I really don't like Joe Cortez. He gets too involved and he is horrible for fighters that want to fight up close. If you never watched a boxing match before and you saw Cortez as the ref in a fight, you would think inside fighting is a crime. Anyways, I don't think Cortez will have as much of an impact on this fight because of the distance this fight will be fought at. My favorite ref has to be Steve Smoger.
