First off, Hatton won the fight; hands down. No argument here.
But..
When Hatton got hit with that big hook, and looked the worst I have ever seen him(besides with floyd). The ref had to stop the fight for over a minute to talk to Juan and then tie Ricky's shoe; what the hell kind of ref is that?
The kind that was there to make sure Hatton didn't loseQuote:

i guess since Cortez sucked in Hatton's fight with Mayweather they wanted to get some revenge on poor Lazcano lol

As i suggested in another thread ricky was nowhere near hurt enough to of been in any major danger and went onto to dominate after the incident which perhaps suggested ricky was luring lazcano into believing he was in bigger trouble than he was.
Foster is your typical english ref - he`ll let anything and everything go just so long as both fighters are happy. I didnt see lazcano complain once about the way the fight was being fought which was testament to a guy who more than earned his biggest payday and definetely deserves another shot after this.
Ricky is still out on his own at 140 by a distance and proved that last night!!
i think he definatley was hurt at first by the left hook but i think lazcanos little window of oppurtunity to finish him had already gone by the timethe ref stepped inQuote:

the cotto fight apart im just not sold on torres
seems like the kind of guy ricky could bully and get the better of.
I suspect witter, urango and maybe even bradley would be able to get the better of torres
