If Hatton gets cut does it go to the scorecards?

Any ideas because I think it's likely that Ricky will be cut in this fight.

Nevada changed alot of rules last year,but I think if it gets stopped after the 6th it goes to the cards there,before that its an NC or a TKo

I think if the cut comes via accidental headbutt it goes to the cards after the 5th or 6th round and is a NC if stopped prior to that. If the cut is ruled to come via a punch then it is a TKO win for Mayweather.

This is a significant issue in this fight. Could well happen.

yes i think a headline of
" When Hatton gets cut does it go to the scorecards" would be better

I thought the rule was 4 rounds?

If Hatton gets cut with an accidental headbutt and 4 rounds have been completed, then they go to the scorecards.

If Hatton gets cut with a punch and can't continue, then tough luck for Ricky, because he loses.

Floyd has almost no history of headbutts because he's usually leaning backwards. If Hatton gets cut in this fight, it will be because of a punch, and therefore the scorecard rule has no relevance.
