From minute 8:00 all the way to the end!!
I agree with Dana to a certain extent when it comes to Cortez, but I think Dana may be a little more hard-line when it comes to his opinions on reffing than most people given the fact that he himself is a fight promoter. That's not to say Dana is wrong though, not at all.

Cortez should have sent them to neutral corners, and sure he could have actually taken 2 points for the head-butt being intentional. However, lets not act like Ortiz was throwing headbutts like that one all night long either. He was rubbing heads a little bit, but there is a big difference between that and the last one he threw. Point deductions are a big deal, and the headbutt did happen very fast. I've watched it a ton of times now, so every time I see it I already know what I'm looking at, but when I watched it live the first time I remember not being exactly sure of what Ortiz did in the moment until I saw the replay. So to say Joe Cortez screwed up by not taking 2 points is kinda nitpicking IMO. Cortez is old, and he's been involved in a few bad calls in his day, but he's also a hall of famer and he DOES know what he is doing. It's no different in baseball where some umpires just have slightly different strike-zones. It's part of the "human element" of the sport. So, yeah, Dana is right in what he says about Cortez making some mistakes in some respects, but I honestly don't think it played the biggest role in the outcome of the fight. That rests solely on the shoulders of Victor Ortiz IMO.

When you sell like 300 million albums, you are bound to have more than a few that don't like ya.

That's what they say about Floyd too

For the record, I'm not saying it's his success that causes your dislike. What I am saying is you can't expect everybody to like you, especially when you are that successful.
