Then after he stops Juan for no reason, taking about 10 seconds to get him in the corner over some bullshit claim he was pushing his head down. He walks over to ricky to start the action, and Ricky lifts his foot to make him get the retie, the ref didn't notice....theres another minute off. Total bullshit.

Ive gotta say this particular ref was on lazcano way too much during the fight and was pulling him up over every tiny infringement.

Fosters biggest fear was lazcano doing something that could of forced a cut from hatton, especially early on.

Imagine had that of happened - rickys home coming having to be stopped because of a nasty gash!!!

As for the whole shoe thing though - ricky had every right to ask for his shoe (which i might add was completely unlaced) to be laced back up. He wasnt in any danger and if anything was the aggressor!!
