Obviously,I was wrong as S!!!.Hatton fought balls out ......head up
Floyd took it,made adjustments turning Hattons aggresion into his downfall.Floyd in the ring lastnight was shown to be without a doubt P4P 1 and desrves the utmost respect.Whatever you think of his rants and big mouth he is an undeniable talent and cough...cough.......... Great.No doubt!
He has a great elbow also.
As far as Cortez,I have never really had a problem with him but He was way into the spotlight last night.The yelling,the CONSTANT chatter and talking.He was warning of deducting points in the first round!!This is not the "look what an overbearing and disruptive force the ref can be " show.
I believe he was caught up a little and alot of time the two had free hands or worked themselves out only to have Cortez insist on being seen and jumping in.These guys are Champions and professionals,let them fight.Keep the grasping and holding in check but this is a contact sport,step back and shut your trap
And what the Fark was with the constant slapping and touching both fighters gloves,arms,etc.I understand that clinching (or preceived) is ugly and not in the rules but talk about a micro managing knee jerk reactionary Ref.I just believe a good ref.should not be seen and noticed as much as the fighters. And no I dont think it would have mattered in the outcome,He was all over both guys.Floyd was top notch and a true champion,and Hatton in defeat should get some due respect. Need coffee and aspirin
