Hatton says he wasn't warned for hitting behind the head, but I know for a FACT that he was warned at lease twice prior to the foul.

[Amir K Shareef]

and the ref did warn him bout hitting the back of the head.. he took a timeout and explained it

Joe Cortez, considered by the boxing fraternity as the world's leading referee, will take charge of Saturday's WBC welterweight

If Floyd was dirty agaisnt Ricky then what the **** was Ricky against Tzsyu? If he's not a natural 147-pounder then how is Castillo a natural 140-pounder? I said it before, Hatton is a huge *****. He's a nice, easygoing, funny guy, but he has believed all the hype surrounding him and cannot accept his shortcomings, and he has shown this when he disrespected Floyd (by calling him boring, etc.) and by making excuses as to why he lost.

Perfect example illustrating what I said.

The fact that Oscar De la Hoya's Goldenboy Promotions is behind this mega-fight is another positive indicator for the British boxer.

Hatton said last night: “I'm delighted about Joe Cortez. He is a very experienced referee and he will not listen to the stuff about me being a dirty fighter. Cortez has been there and seen it all. If Floyd or myself foul then we will get punished for it.”

Hatton will hope Cortez allows the contest to flow in the same manner as he did in the Castillo fight.

"It's a work of art being able to fight up close and inside-fight. I don't hold I just work inside," Hatton said. "Me and Castillo weren't holding, we were educated inside fighters. It was toe-to-toe close-quarter boxing, which is as big a talent as Floyd running away and winning at distance."
