Ive been trying to say this but i just dont think ive been saying it right Clinching is illegal and technically holding and hitting is illegal. So cortez is apparently a bad ref for stopping something illegal
and if hatton was at any stage holding while punching it would of indeed been illegal

every time they came in floyd just hugged onto hatton for dear life because he knew cortez was straight in to break it up. What he should of been doing is giving them a chance to fight out of the clench which hatton would of adored knowing he could out muscle floyd and land big on the inside.
Cortez saved Hatton from a even worse beating. Mayweather proved he was stronger than Hatton and was having his way with him inside
