Re: Elbows are blatant fouls and yet Floyd was allowed to use it all night long.

I for one like hatton and give no excuses for him just like wouldn't have if he won and besides he doesn't need them.
I will reply to Missy. How many times does a ref have to warn some one about Elbows?
Cortez warned Floyd on every round.
Hatton's blow to the so called back of the head when Floyd ducked below waist to avoid Hatton? The blow never even landed. It was a bogus point deduction. Did you watch the fight more than once? I have watched it 3 times already. Most fights I debate I watch over and over again and then I post videos clips to prove what I am debating. Do you need me to post it and show you it did not land?
Missy do you need me to post how many times Floyd used the elbow? Do you need me to post how many times Floyd was warned and how many times he was not warned even though Joe was standing right there seeing the elbows? I am going to work on this video a little later.

be my guest he still shoved him through the ropes and threw a punch and it wasn't the first time he hit behind the head.
If he ducked low it was a couple of times, mostly it was borderline belt which is allowed.
I hope there is a rematch and Floyd whacks him out again the way some of you are carrying on. Did you call Hatton a cheat in his previous foul ridden mauls? I doubt it.
Well after watching the fight for the 2nd time i was absolutely disgusted with what Cortez let Mayweather get away with. And although he did shove him through the rope and attempt to land a blow, it was exactly the same as what Floyd did to Hatton in the 2nd round. Didn't even receive a warning...let alone a deduction.
Actually from watching the first 5 rounds, Hatton appeared to be the only fighter who received any warnings. The only time Floyd did was when Cortez threatened to take a point from both (which is quite pointless). I actually stopped counting on about 12 (warnings).
Cortez also pissed me off with his 'don't hit him when he goes down' rant. What does that mean? Hatton can't hit Floyd when he bends over and turns away? Why not? Because the only hittable target is the back of Floyds Head or torso! So how is that any different from basically turning your back on your opponent?
I still stick by my 'Hatton wudn't have won even if his dad was the ref' statement but imo he never even got a fair crack at it.
