		Joe used great poise and wisdom not stopping Marquez when he was knocked down 3 times in the opening stanza by the heavy fisted Filipino and Marquez recovered to go the distant and gain a draw.
		Cortez has been involved in bouts of epic and historic proportion like Mike Tyson knocking out Larry Holmes, Riddick Bowe over Holyfield in 2 thirds of their trilogy, and one for the ages, George Foreman recapturing the Heavyweight Championship knocking out Michael Moorer at a record age of 45.

		In his stirring kick-off speech to the convention, Joe Cortez summed up what the job of a referee is, and it was pretty simple.
		As an example of this, Joe discussed a common situation where a fighter is clearly out cold and a ref can choose to finish a ten-count or just end the fight.
		Joe explained that, if referees are in unison in the goal of protecting fighters from unnecessary punishment, the ten-count should be cut short, medics called in immediately and the fight called.

	BraggingRightsCorner.com - "Will Bernard Hopkins Beat His Own Demons Tonight?"... by Elisa Harrison
		The Nevada State Athletic Commission stood its grounds refusing to substitute Cortez; so I suppose it's fair to say that Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins gave up on his latest cry for attention, finally agreeing to fight under the fair but firm Joe Cortez.
		Having protested Cortez twice before, (in Hopkins vs Trinidad and in Hopkins vs Joppy), Bernard now decides that Cortez could be harboring some sort of animosity against him and therefore, he attempts to strong-arm the Commission and the promotion, (strong-arming got him a hefty jail sentence years ago), into eliminating Cortez from this fight.
		He then protested against Cortez in the Joppy mismatch because since Cortez is of Puerto Rican descent he may have been offended by Hopkins' disgraceful antics against Puerto Ricans, and, Hopkins now protests against Cortez because Cortez may hold a grudge against him for the two prior protests.

		One thing is for sure; Cortez is firm in his assertions that such a stand by Hopkins hurts the sport.
		Then again, boxing is not other sports, and boxers have traditionally had the right to object to referees and judges, the same way defense lawyers and prosecutors have the right to strike jurors.
