had mayweather-hatton had NOT of been reffed by cortez.....

[eagle]

jesus even the biggest floyd nuthuggers this site has to offer will tell you cortez went out of his way to punish hatton at every opportunity that night

every single time it was hatton trying to instigate the fight on the inside and floyd grabbing at the 1st opportunity. In the UK you would be formally warned straight away that by constantly grabbing your opponent you are stopping the flow of the contest and eventually you`d be thrown out of there.

I held up my hands up after the fight and admitted ricky took a beating by a far superior fighter who was simply too quick and too awkward for ricky. But back to my original question. Cortez allowed hatton to get away with everything he didnt allow not 5months earlier when he fought castillo. What exactly happened within those 5months for joe cortez to throw away a lifetime of his own boxing oks and no-nos and completely role reverse the whole situation.

i had hatton only winning 3 of the rounds before the KO so dont have any complaints about the loss. But it was clear for all to see hatton dug his own grave on the back of his frustrations at how the fight was being reffed and the wrongful point deduction ultimately led to his downfall

So HATTONTHEHAMMER do u honestly think Cortez's refereeing display was more biased than Dave Parris's in the Tzsyu fight?

Dave Parris has employed the same ethos all his career

Had that of been O`connell, vann or any other british ref that would of been the same outcome. Hatton did NOTHING illegal in that fight and kostya simply got beat by a man who was far superior at what he was doing.

Yes had that fight of been in a bigger ring somewhere in melbourne there may have been a different result due to the fact different board of controls read from different textbooks. But it wasnt and despite the complaints hatton won a fair and square fight against a ring legend.

Entirely different story to what went down in vegas. Cortez did everything possible to ensure hatton didnt walk away as victor that night.

• the endless warnings for holding on
• endless occasions being told to keep his punches up
• getting warned between virtually every round about his conduct
• point deduction for hitting floyd in the back when it was floyd who blatantly dived under the ropes
• failure to spot at least a dozen floyd forearms to the face
• allowing mayweather to hold at every opportunity
• asking hatton at the end of the 8th if he`d like to stop the fight despite ricky being of perfect mind
• even at one point telling ricky he`d deduct a point unless he stopped talking(actually floyd as well which made it even more ridiculous)

Call me bitter but cortez robbed us of a fair fight

You are a fucken idiot mate. Nothing illegal?

Constant holding and hitting, rabbit punching.
Endless grappling and wrestling.
And the worst and most blatant low blow i have ever seen.
All Hatton did was lunge in and hold all night and was never warned!

If a fair ref had been in charge of the Hatton Tszyu fight there is far more chance Kostya would have won that fight than Hatton ever had v Mayweather as the scores were closer. Truth is as soon as Ricky didnt have the ref doing exactly what he wanted he was exposed.

And maybe u arent giving Joe credit, if Hatton had stopped at end of the 8th he wouldnt have got knocked the fuck out.

This vid shows it all, Parris warns Tszyu for a few meak hits that never went below the belt, then only warns Hatton for running up and punching Kostya as hard as he can in the balls, as if it were the same offense. In the video every clinch is instigated by Ricky.
