i agree, the ref was an idiot. shoulda known with all his BS about , what was it, firm but fair? he ended up an old fool who lost control of the fight.

i bought the fight on HBO, as well as the last pacquio fight. dont think i ll buy another. those two were both awful and not worth the $120 total i shelled out.

plus, mayweather acted like a moron after the fight in my opinion. he shoulda not allowed himself to get baited on world wide tv.

Heh, heh, Merchant is famous for that. I remember him when Tyson got his clock cleaned by Douglas back in the day.

The ref should go work for the WWF.

That should be the last fight Cortez refs. He called time out to deduct a point from Ortiz, then he turned his back on the fighters to signal time in without separating them. How would either fighter know when time in was called if they could not see Cortez's hand gesture to the timekeeper? This why the ref either keeps both fighters in front of him so they can see what he is doing, or he separates them and announces “Box!” after he signals the timekeeper. You can't fault Floyd for being sharper than Ortiz, but Cortez did not do his job, and his carelessness cost us the pleasure of watching what was a good fight.
