why do you think joe cortez is a bad ref?list examples here

[Larry the boss]

list all the examples here......please......

[Mr. Fantastic]

Cause he sometimes doesn't pay attention. He doesn't have that hawk eye.

Examples are Floyd vs Ortiz and Soto vs that one Dominican dude off the top of my head.

[SplitSecond]

just look at his face, that look like the face of a competent person?

Gets the popcorn and waits for all the whinging Eurotards to show up :chuckle9:

[Doctor_Tenma]

He did get too involved in the Mayweather-Hatton fight, he did screw Soto over against Lorenzo, he also called a K.D when Cayo was clearly hit behind the head against Maidana, maybe he's not the worse ref but I certainly wouldn't want him reffing big fights.

[Young Money]

He is fair but firm and would make a great lover.

[Guest]

they say he breaks clinches to fast

[Weebler I]

He was crap in the Hopkins/Calzaghe fight too and he was all over Maidana in the Khan fight to the point where I thought he was going to hit him.

Maybe he was a good ref decades ago but he's clearly abusing the rep he's built up to influence fights.

[daggum]

probably because he breaks so called clinches when one guy has arms free and is still hitting the other guy. probably because he favors the A-side in the fight. probably because he misses knockdowns, fouls, and generally doesn't seem to know what's happening during a fight. probably because he mumbles his instructions and is incoherent.

[Visceral]

He breaks fighters up too quickly and too often. Example off the top of my head being Mayweather/Hatton. And he wasn't clear enough in his instructions in the Mayweather/Ortiz fight.

I will say this in favor of Cortez: He seems to knows when to stop the fight and when to let it continue and that is one of the most important qualities in a ref.
