Maybe? ... but I'm not sold that the ref will influence much the outcome of this fight...
The fighters themselves will determine the final outcome of this fight...

U really are stupid arent u. Of course a ref can have a major influence on a fight, just as officials in any sport can.
Hattons main advantage over Pac is his superior inside fighting and possibly strength. If the ref makes it hard for Hatton to do this then he is in trouble. If the ref lets Hatton grapple and push etc a lot then he has a much greater chance of victory. If it was only ever the fighters themselves who determined the victory then why is there ever any discussion on things like the size of the ring, type of gloves, who the ref is, where the fight is held etc etc etc? Lots of variables come into play when to good fighters are up against each other.
