While I agree that it was wrong for Cortez to allow Hatton's reputation to influence the way he reffed the fight, it is Hatton's fault that he has such a reputation.
Cortez is just a fucking terrible ref. I was equally unimpressed with the way he reffed Calzaghe - Hopkins as I was with the way he reffed PBF - Hatton.
I agree with what you say about the reffing though, it didn't matter who the ref was, PBF was going to win, unfortunately.
