Ahhh man, all props to Mayweather. He fought a great fight. Nonetheless, it was a lot closer than I thought it would be, until the KO obviously.
But, my gripe here is as the thread suggests. Joe Cortez ruined what could've been a mighty f'ing good fight!
Apart from the ridiculous point deduction, which was not at all warranted, he broke them right at the point at which one of the guys (Hattons) style started to come into play. Not only that but if he was going to deduct points from Ricky, where in god's name was the deductions from Mayweather for the elbowing through the whole fight. I mean c'mon, if you're going to be involved that much, be consistent for f&*^'s sake. It ruined what was looking like it was going to be a hard fight for Mayweather. Instead it turned into a frustrating battle for Hatton against the ref half the time to the point where he got overly pissed off and made ****** mistakes because of a point deduction.
Now, I'm not saying he was ever going to win of course, but damn, some of you hardcore Mayweather fans must even admit it was looking like it could've been a brilliant hard fought battle. Instead it turned into a fight with the ****** 'man in blue' as much as anything. My prediction was still correct, which was a Mayweather TKO, but it was a few rounds earlier than I thought it would be.
But damn, I'm pissed off! I was expecting a whitewash by Mayweather and after the first few rounds I was excited for a hard fight. It was close and competitive and if the moron of a ref hadn't felt the need to interrupt every freakin' exchange right when they came together it would've been so much better!!! I'm still baffled at the fact that he took a point off Hatton and didn't take a point from Mayweather for the elbows. They were much more prominent than the point deduction from Hatton. It really could've been what no one thought it would be, which was a good exciting fight!
