To people complaining about Cortez...

i think the only thing that cortez didnt do enough was warn hatton for excessive holding. mills lane would have taken points for holding.

I couldn't agree more. Hatton has held and hit in 40 bouts in England and looked absolutely terrible when he wasn't allowed to in his bouts in the States. Collazo almost KO'd him and Mayweather did.

How many Hatton fights have you seen? I'm guessing less than 10.

Where were you when Jay Nady didn't let Ruiz "fight his fight" by hugging Roy Jones all night long in 2003? Hatton's style is just as illegal as Ruiz's so where were you guys when that went down? I didn't hear anybody crying over Ruiz being told what to do by a ref. If Ruiz was forced to fight within the rules and nobody complained, then stop crying that Cortez made Hatton fight within the rules.

I didn't think Nady should have taken over that fight, either.

In both cases, it was clear that the referee had an agenda. See also Rocky Juarez vs. Zahir Raheem...

Ruiz might have lost to Jones anyway, but Nady made sure that there wasn't even a fight...
