Joe Cortez

[Main Source]

Referee Joe Cortez should not be allowed to rule a match again.

Acosta was seriously out of it and Cortez let Rios hit him with, at least 2-3, powerful and unnecessary punches. What makes things even worse, was that he didn't stop the fight after that. He was about to do a count when he saw Acosta's corner jumping in and stopping the fight.

That was not impressive and he put Acosta in a dangerous position.

Speaking of people who should quit, what the hell was Elie Seckbach thinking when he scored the fight? That was not even funny.

Agree with both points.
Cortez is slow and clueless, the way Acosta was out after the first big left from Rios and rolled his eyes Castillo-like was enough to stop it right there, but I think he didn't even see that...

And Seckbach giving Acosta only 3 rounds, very objective...

I agree with everything here. Acosta was practically totally out and Seckbach is a joke.

It was clear to me that Joe Cortez was clueless to what had just happened and I don't understand why he placed himself right behind Rios so he couldn't see anything.

******. ****** and dangerous position he put Acosta in.

Maidana should go to his house and KO him, terrible ref who should be put down.

[SCtrojansbaby]

the fight was stopped at the perfect time there was absolutely no need for Cortez to interfere.

[teddycanyon]

it was two-three punches too late, but surprisingly I think Cortez did an alright job in the fight. He's usually screwing somebody over in there.

[shade darkar]

fcukin hate that ****! how he is still a ref is beyond me.

Yeah Cortez was a little late breaking that up. Looks like Rios was blocking his view of the corner, but Cortez should've gotten himself into position to see it a little quicker.
