Joe Cortez is an irresponsible referee

[RAESAAD]

I think overall he is one of the best.I am not familiar with the Phillips fight being spoke of at the begining of the thread which one?

It's Richard Steele I don't like.

Same here. Steele has no business back in the ring, while Cortez is one of the very best there is.

sometime its not all about boxing.

It much more compilcated in some situation for the referee

[psychopath]

Yeah and the way he didnt disqualify Manny for hitting Marquez when he was down. That Cortez!!!!!

Oh Yes he didn't buddy. Because he can't. One of JMM's arm is hanging over the ropes and the other still not touching the canvas when he was hit. And take note that JMM's back is not touching the canvas either because he is clinging to the ropes, how can you say he down?

And again for the sake of arguement, where is Cortez in the course of that action? He is too far buddy.
