Is there anyone willing to question a Hall of Fame Referee? The noble and honorable but terribly remiss Joe Cortez—beside Frankie Gambino and UFC honcho Dana White?

Would someone explain to the masses the rules after a blatant head-butt and point deduction?

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but shouldn’t have Cortez sent Ortiz to the neutral corner? Should Cortez have checked on Mayweather’s condition (not only for the sake of the fighers safety but to determine if he, Cortez, would deduct 1 or 2 points?)
To loyal readers of Dog House Boxing, I hope you’ll all go to amazon.com and search for Anatomy of an Adult Film, that’s my book—it’s doing well. Anatomy of an Adult Film is a fast-paced read and a sexy romp—I’m sure you’ll love it!
Thanks,

Death’s Green Eyes….

Should Cortez then have sent Floyd to a neutral corner and given a tongue lashing to Ortiz?

Should Joe have ultimately re-commenced the fight with a verbal or physical gesture?


Further, could a Hall-of-Fame referee have refered to the "Unified Rules" promulgated by the Association of Boxing Commissioners (ABC); Subsection "5" of the provision dealing with "Intentional Fouls" which clearly state that a referee may disqualify a fighter for engaging in Unsportsmanship like conduct? And therefore have disqualified or penalized Floyd?

Or was it just one of those things?

To butcher the words of Simon and Garfunkle—“Where have you gone Joe Cortez—the nation turns its curious eyes to you…”
