Did wrong?

Hatton won a close decision (and he deserved the close decision) - close decisions is part of boxing and why should boxers rematch if they win close decisions? I guess that we all want competitive fights and that means that we also get some close decisions.

Lacy also had a close decision against Omar - should Omar also get a rematch?
Omar was not a beltholder. Collazo was. Ricky was the challenger. The fight was close, if not controversial. That almost always gets you a rematch.
It is extremely hard for a foreigner to fight against an American champ in the states and get the decision. So if a foreign boxer gets the decision there, you can be pretty sure that he also won the fight.

I remember once when Johnny Bredahl was fighting Paulie Ayala for the WBA Bantamweight Title in Las Vegas, most thought that Bredahal won the fight but the scores was stupid: Judge: Chuck Giampa 115-112 | Judge: Guillermo Pérez Pineda 114-114 | Judge: Al Siciliano 116-111
