why is everyone hating on joe cortez? wtf did he do wrong?

[Pocket Dogs!]

IMO, the only thing he did wrong was that he kept his eyes off the fighters to ask the timekeeper, "Bell ring?" and whatever he was speaking to the timekeeper or something. Add to this Ortiz's ******ity is giving Floyd another huggy huggy and then POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER!

[Pocket Dogs!]

He didn't say fight...he said "time" while looking at the time-keeper and did not make any motions. His hand should have been up in-between the fighters and looking at them and then said "box" and drop his hand. He's to old to be reffing anymore.

Watch it again, man. He even makes both fighters go to their corners TWICE. The fighters come into the middle of the ring and he then says, "Let's go!" After he says that, at the same time Ortiz super ******ly goes to Floyd for the huggy huggy, he asks the ringside whatever, "Bell ring?" and then POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER!

Joe Cortez does everything wrong.


And LarryX is a big ****sucker.

[S.G.]

(I think) he told them to fight before he told the time keeper to resume, which I guess is logically backwards because it means he had to take his eye off the action for that brief moment.

[Weebler I]

The fact the fight ended in farce (again) should give you a clue.

Correct.

OK...I watched it again...I was wrong...He said "don't be doing that to Ortiz...let's go" then he called time and looked away. Ortiz wanted to hug and got nailed. Ortiz put to much trust in Mayweather and Mayweather took advantage of it. It was legal but he robbed everyone of a fight.

Somebody posted that if Pac had ended a fight with Mayweather in the exact same fashion...what would people be saying? Anyone who supports what Mayweather did care to comment?

[Nonitard]

He looks like ****in KOJAK

he needs to be put to pasture already

[Dirk Diggler UK]

He didnt say "box" or "time in". He said something like "lets go" and then walked over to the timekeeper. How the *** you gonna tell two fighters to fight and then look in the opposite direction?

He should've went to the timekeeper first. Held the fighters apart and said "time in" or "box". The guy is a liability. One of these days, something serious is going to happen on his watch.

If only Maidana had landed that punch or elbow on his head and put him in a permanent coma.

He didnt allow Hatton to wrestle and maul his WWE styled on us, He didnt prevent Hatton was getting KO ring styled..
