Will Victor Ortiz be fighting TWO MEN in the ring: Mayweather and Cortez?

[The Big Dunn]

So did Floyd pick the ref or the Commission?

I was wondering that. I mean most of these posters say let the commission do their job. Then when they do its, hey the commission sucks get rid of them. When floyd suggests that its, no the commission is ok. Wow.

Bad news for Ortiz! Floyd just hired someone to allow his dirty tricks against Ortiz. History showed he didn't allow Hatton to use his tricks against Floyd but allowed Floyd to do his dirty tricks against Hatton.


After the Hatton fight Floyd went to Cortez for this pic. How much Floyd?

lookit, cortez had that "smirk of a pride in his work" that night on his face. dayum people say hatton's will was destroyed by floyd some says its pacquiao but i say "firm and fair" have done him in.

Aggressive fighters are in a disavantage with Cortez in there. He doesn't let the fight flow and likes to get to involve like ppl are paying to see him.

He could had let the Hatton/Floyd and the Khan/Maidana fight flow but he was always a factor in the fight.

You can go as far back as in Whitaker/Chavez to see his bad habits. Its beyond me how he gets to be in the big fights at this stage in his career

[New England]

yes


cortez will break them every time floyd reaches out and even leans an arm on ortiz

ortiz ability to keep his hands free is what i've been pointing to as the determining factor in this fight

with cortez refereeing (especially if he pulls a khan-maidana type job) ortiz doesn't stand an icebergs chance in hell

People seriously need to get over this Floyd, Hatton , and Cortez crap

Floyd schooled Hatton at his own game - inside fighting

I see Floyd Mayweather has his personal referee, Joe Cortez, working the fight on Saturday.

I remember Cortez was very unfair to Ricky Hatton. He deducted a point from Ricky for nothing, he prevented the shorter-armed Hatton from fighting in close, and he allowed Mayweather to use his elbows on Ricky's face.

So it looks like Victor Ortiz will have the disadvantage of having a second man against him in the ring.

Yes. Smoger or Bayless should be working this fight.

agreed. bayless or smoger... thats what i was thinking too. those two are the best and least-biased big fight refs IMO. cortez sux.

I saw that earlier. Ortiz team had a choice of referees and they preferred Cortez.
