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

[spade]

Where's hattonthehammer?

[HattonTheHammer]

Mayweather whooped Hatton ASS!! end of in round 1 Floyd stumbled he werent hurt and yes Cortez was abit harsh at times but as he says he is fair but he is firm. The Mayweather camp had highlighted the hook and hold tactics of Hatton and why shouldnt Hatton get told about it without looking at the scorecards i think it was 98-92 Floyd before the KO so no Hatton werent going to win if Hatton was a better fighter he would have had a plan B and fought from distance but he couldnt because he would get picked off easier. I remember Hatton saying before the fight if he stands toe to toe with me he's gunna get eaten well Floyd did and he was far better at rough house tactics than Hatton and in my mind this was the fight that finished Hatton he took to many clean hard shots over 10 rounds and Pacquiao got the scraps that were left. I know your a massive Hatton fan but he got beat by the better fighter one of the best fighters of all time.

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

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.

Nothing kostya wasnt giving back in return

This is boxing for f*cks sake, accidental low blows, headbutts etc occour in every round of every fight. Can you seriously hand on heart say having watched that fight hatton did enough to warrant either a points deduction or even being thrown out of the fight?

When you go to europe you expect that every single little foul will be dealt with in its severest form. Crowds are mostly silent throughout and anything slightly iffy gets handled with straight away. However in britain "boxing" contests more often than not escalate into fights because its what the common fan likes to see when he goes to watch an event. The crowds are raptuous, the entire feeling is a million times different than anything i dare say kostya would of experienced previously.

If Kostya seriously thought fighting infront of 22,500 mancs at 3 in the morning was gonna be anything other than a complete tearup then he needs his brain tested!!

[Gandalf]

There can be no doubt that Cortez played a significant part in that bout. An awful display of officiating if ever there was one.

First of all it was in Britain but it was a WORLD TITLE being fought for so they should have been fighting under INTERNATIONAL RULES, as Kostya was the fucken champ not Ricky.
The common fan also likes to see hard tackles in footbal/soccer it still doesnt mean they dont give out red cards for them idiot.

Using your logic, Ricky must need his brain tested as he went to America and thought he could lunge and hold, wrestle and foul and get away with it? Shock horror u cant do that anywhere but fucken Manchester with a biased ref. And yes when a guy takes a run up and hits another fighter dead on in the balls, or intentionally clinches 15-20 times a round he should get points deducted.

Face the facts you are blind to the fact that maybe Ricky wasnt that good, yes he beat Kostya when he had absolutely everything stacked in his favor, but failed to beat another elite opponent in his entire career and in fact got KTFO by 2 of them. One of the reasons he did get KO'd was cos the daft little fucker couldnt adapt to fighting when the ref wasnt allowing him to do whatever he wanted!!!! Then what do u do, whinge like a typical pom when they dont let him low blow and tackle like a rugby second rower all night.

How the hell can a guy with HATTON in his name try to act as tho he is having an unbiased argument about Hatton?

Coming from a country of world class moaners thats quite rich indeed (dont happen to know the ashes score do you?)

Think your still ruing from the loss 4 years on. Dont take it personally kostya had a good run he just got found out by a far superior fighter and quit on his stool knowing he could not take anymore punishment.

As for your "only in manchester" retarded remark. How many BBoC fights have you actually watched in your lifetime? whether its a grubby little athletics arena in wrexham or wembley stadium the rules apply to all and as ive already pointed out kostya knew full well what he was getting into.

Hattons lowblow was in retaliation to your dear sweet kostya constantly chucking them in every time they came together and even though it was rickys 1st offence he got a good telling off for it. The whole world of boxing doesnt begin and end in las vegas and the second retards like you understand that the better!!

A far superior fighter? If u honestly think Hatton is/was a far superior fighter than Kostya u are a fucken moron.
There is a difference between a pitter patter low blow and running up flat out and hitting someone in the groin as hard as u can dickhead. Show me the footage of Kostya doing that.

Your right i havent seen many BBofC fights but i also didnt realise Kostya and Ricky were fighting for a British title? Here i was thinking it was for a World belt that was owned by Tszyu. Hence it should have been fought using international rules and standards. My mistake. Im sure if for arguments sake the fight had been held in Australia and Ricky had not been allowed to grapple or foul, and Kostya had been given all the time in the world to get that big right hand off u would have been whinging far greater then i ever have. Especially if the excuse was "oh thats just how we fight in oz".The proof is here.

Then u say im from a country of moaners and accuse me of ruing the loss 4 years on? Excuse me did i start a thread about Kostya losing just cos of the ref years after the fight like u did with this thread? I think not. I believe if anyone is ruing a loss its you. Im merely pointing out that if u take the refs that are biased towards u (Parris), u have to take the refs who may be biased against (Cortez). Cos if it werent for your boy Parris, the fight with Cortez in it may never have occured.

[Althugz]

ok guys i know we`ve been here 747,825,190 times already but what with floyds win on saturday ive once again been trawling through his career set and not for the 1st time cant stomach myself to watch past 5rounds of mayweather-hatton.

It was clear for all to see that floyds sharp overhand right f*cked hatton up everytime and that floyd had not just the speed but power advantage on ricky. But once again the fury of the performance of cortez who pretty much f*cked hattons entire gameplan is there for all to see.

Ricky is the only man to date to genuinely hurt floyd. Had the ropes had not been there in the 1st floyd would of dropped like a sack of shit and every SINGLE time hatton exploded inside landing flat on floyds chin, mayweather hugged hatton leading to joe warning hatton for what i can only presume as being "too over exhuberant"

Between 6-10 this wasnt the case, floyd whooped hatton all over the ring and showed what a class act he really is. But the annoyance is still there 2 years after it happened. Hattons gameplan WAS working a dream up until cortez decided to stamp it out and without doubt he was dominating a superior fighter with excellent tactics and footwork.

HAD lets say a kenny bayliss for instance of reffed the fight would floyd right now be sitting here with a record of 39-1?

Oh for gods sake...

Majesty, I wish I stopped reading too...



P.S. If we're discussing the Kostya fight as well, then we must talk about the legit knockdown that Kostya scored via the perfectly placed body shot to Ricky's stomach. Paris called it a low blow

Kostya should never have come over here but the allure of a big payday was too great I suppose.

[ElTerribleMorales]

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.

Hattons gameplan WAS working a dream up until cortez decided to stamp it out and without doubt he was dominating a superior fighter with excellent tactics and footwork.

HAD lets say a kenny bayliss for instance of reffed the fight would floyd right now be sitting here with a record of 39-1?

Oh for gods sake...

Majesty, I wish I stopped reading too...



P.S. If we're discussing the Kostya fight as well, then we must talk about the legit knockdown that Kostya scored via the perfectly placed body shot to Ricky's stomach. Paris called it a low blow

Kostya should never have come over here but the allure of a big payday was too great I suppose.

fair enough talk away, hatton didnt touch the ground. Even had he of gone down the fight got stopped at the end of the 11th round and hatton won by TKO.

however if we are now scoring decent punches as knockdowns may i refer to the 11th round massacre where ricky pretty much had tszyu flat out on the ropes??

ok guys i know we`ve been here 747,825,190 times already but what with floyds win on saturday ive once again been trawling through his career set and not for the 1st time cant stomach myself to watch past 5rounds of mayweather-hatton.

It was clear for all to see that floyds sharp overhand right f*cked hatton up everytime and that floyd had not just the speed but power advantage on ricky. But once again the fury of the performance of cortez who pretty much f*cked hattons entire gameplan is there for all to see.

Ricky is the only man to date to genuinely hurt floyd. Had the ropes had not been there in the 1st floyd would of dropped like a sack of shit and every SINGLE time hatton exploded inside landing flat on floyds chin, mayweather hugged hatton leading to joe warning hatton for what i can only presume as being "too over exhuberant"

and regardless who the ref was it didn't matter, cause Hatton got KTFO in the 10th against Mayweather, and even worse in the 2nd against Pacquiao, both came from a huge left to the head, end of
