The Lorenzo fight last night- has this disastrous refereeing by Joe Cortez finally signalled the old man's

Question

retirement from big fight refereeing?

Answer 1

yes as it was a joke its been a long time coming...

the way the fight was stoped was wrong and it was his folt as he did not no what to do but its his job to khow as he is the boss in threre  so why was he asking anybody who would

lisen what to do??  your the boss of fair but firm are you or are

you not?  so why see what  them at ring side say 1st or see   what they want you to do.  i think they told him what to do becuse fcuked it the man could not carry on fighting and when  went to stop it he changed his mind 3 secs later he went down cortez did not help or go close to the hurt fighter or look at him left him there for 10 mins and thats a coward for you looking to see how he could find away  not to get the blame.

but my problem was why did he get help for the boxer who  was badly cut that would not stop bleedin and did not look or fcuking check on him as the coward was trying to worme his way out of yet one more poor display .

he ****** up at the hatton and hopkins fights and there are more even castilos fight trying his best to f**k that up.

he said he stop it for the punch on the back of the head??   it was a brush on the back off the head. he did not have a clue why he stoped it.

so why did it take over 10mins to come up with that??

he new he fcuked up  and his lame excus later shown after it was over was that he stoped it as he hit him on the back of the head when down... but u not seen what barerrar did when he had a man down....  cortez it was you and only you.. your last act of a despate man speech was even worse as you call your a real pro??

  why did he try to stop it then move away thats got to be the green light to keep atacking.

he looked lost out of his depth again and is a mind chagner

never good  at what he should be and has his silly saying witch he says makes him look even more of a joke

but worst of all he is a coward      

   1st   wont admit he lost it there  and made a mistake

   2nd hold your hands as you will get a bit credit back

   3rd you cheated a fighter out of a win to save your skin

   4th your a coward and im glad it happend to you

    5th u. f. c. are looking for new blood. as in boxing you cant wing  it for every as when somthing like that comes along you have to be redy as you may be in 100 fights and nothing happens good job for you it only happend last nite as you been walking a tight rope for years

now go and walk away corward

                                                       or

                                                               hold your hands up.

                      coward

Answer 2

I think he shuld be watched but not done yet he deserves a second chance because he is a good ref just lost it last night. He should have his eyes checked an the navada state boxing commision should have instant replay.

Answer 3

I hope so, it was such a terrible decision, I was watching and thought that Cortez had awarded the fight to Soto. The fact is he let it run on way to long much like his refereeing career. I remember a Kostya Tszyu fight were he completely killed Leonardo Mas but Cortez ruled that Tszyu had downed Mas after he had called a non-existent break. Which he did not. He is definitely losing it and should certainly call it quits sooner rather than later.
