good talk

It looks like "the Fix" is in as Joe Cortez was appointed to referee the Ortiz-Mayweather fight. Cortez is well known for separating the fighters for no reason should the favorite be in trouble. Ortiz close work work this past April gained him the victory over Andre Berto, had Cortez been the referee he would have stopped Ortiz unnecessarily and Berto would have won. When Mayweather fought Ricky Hatton In 2007 Hatton rightfully mentioned Cortez constantly separating the 2 when Hatton was working inside as a main factor in his loss. This past December Cortez' constant separating of Marcos Maidana when he had Amir Khan badly hurt prevented Maidana from scoring a likely knockout of Khan. Ortiz' only hope against Mayweather is his ability to work inside and Cortez won't let him. Obviously they could have appointed an impartial competent referee and should have for this megafight but chose Cortez in order to protect Mayweather from losing. Ortiz' good chance at winning has been stolen from him by evil unscrupulous people.
