There has been some talk that the Ref. may have let Hatton get more time then needed, and the speed in which Hatton's corner took to tie the boots he had on ... I wondered was Hatton saved?
Bullshit. Ricky was buckled and hurt much worse in the 8th and came back in the 9th to have his best round. He might have been knocked down without the extra time, but not out.
I said myself that I was full of shit.
Somehow, I imagined the talk was about Hatton-Mayweather again.
Forgot that Hatton fought Lazcano.
No. Not at all. He was stunned but came back to wallop lazcano for the rest of both the 8th and the 10th rounds if I remember right.
Lazcano took a beating for 34 out of 36 minutes.
Hatton wasn't hurt at all in the 10th, hardly even momentarily stunned. He kept coming forward and tied Lazcano up. He was momentarily hurt in the 8th round, though.
In the 10th round, the ref stopped it 20-25 seconds after Hatton was hit by those lefts, and Ricky was perfectly okay. You can see it here, in this video of rounds 9 and 10 (the controversial part begins at 5:20 or so):

Those Versus commentators did a poor job - these British commentators are MUCH better!
I think he was hurt by that punch, his legs did buckle... but he wouldn't have been knocked out.
The lace tie was Dirty and the Ref was obviously prepped for "dirty," but.. ultimately it was not needed. I do wish Hatton didn't guarantee his win with suspect tactics.
Hatton got stunned by the left hook and held on, A few seconds later he looked fine and that was when Lazcano held and hit hatton with two body shots. the ref warned him about those as they are illegal, Then Hatton got his lace tied. He did not get saved.
There was a shitload of home field advantage and it definitely soured Hatton's victory but.. Hatton beat Lazcanzo very soundly.. And short of Hatton dropping dead after getting dropped.. Lazcanzo would have lost even if he did manage a KD of Hatton. If you can manage to overlook all the smoke in mirrors you'll notice how winded Lazcanzo was in the later rounds. IN the end Hatton treated Lazcanzo like a tuneup and payed the price.. but.. the better man won by a landslide.
I re-watched the fight yesterday.
Hatton would have been knocked out. He was in no position to defend himself.

far from it hes been hit harder.........
laz wouldnt have finished him,it wouldnt happen
theres nothing people wont do to find fault with hatton,its boxing people get hit,hard duuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hurt..what a load of shit
I dont know about getting knocked out...
but without all that time its very possible he could have been knocked down.
He continuously tied up lazcano after those left hooks...
In all honesty; had lazcano not pulled hatton down and hit him on the side (while holding him down) the ref wouldnt have taken time to talk to lazcano and ricky wouldnt have noticed the untied shoe.
either way the ref shouldnt have called for time unless he planned on taking a point away...not at such a turning point in the fight.
So i partially blame the ref (for calling time when not taking a point at such a time in the fight) and lazcano for hitting while hatton was bent down by lazcano (that started it really).
But overall i think the situation could have been handled better by the ref.
I think lazcano had a pretty decent chance at knocking him down...but not out.
After the third round I thought, people have to stop talking about Hatton getting back in ther with Mayweather. He has to try fight his way to a re-match instead of talking this way into a re-match... I keep typing that because I think it's so true!
