isnt a referee suppose to keep the fighters apart then call time in then instruct....

[Ring Leader]

them to fight? thats what i always thought?

Joe Cortez did say to fight, he motioned the fighters together with his hands & all. Anyone saying he didn't is full of ****. The problem is that after he told them to resume combat, he diverted his attention to the timekeepers. 99% of the time minus last weekend the ref's call time in 1st then order the fighters to resume combat. IMO it is the equivelent of telling the fighters to start fighting, then signaling the bell to begin a round, that kind of **** does not happen. Cortez hasn't ever done that as long as I could remember. It seems too coincidental to me.

Definitely a fix.

This was the most blatent fix since Martinez-Williams 2.

Cortez should be penalized for it.
