Would Hatton have defeated KT if the fight was held in Vegas and not in Hatton's

[Violent Demise]

No. An unbiased referee would of DQ'ed Hatton like he deserved.

interesting! i wonder how many other fights Hatton had back in his hometown would of panned out had they been in america with an american ref?

Not that many. Hatton didn't turn into the hugging monster he is until recently. Hatton before that won his fights with pressure and a good body attack. It's a shame that now he rather snuggle more than fight.
