Cortez: "Hatton wasn't allowed to fight his style"

[Weebler I]

Floyd was also the Champion going in so it is not warranted and people want him to fight Cotto and/or Williams.

Its the money which dictates man. We'll prolly see Hatton/De La Hoya before all of them. USA v UK promotion.

[shawn_]

For anyone interested in the obvious bias of Joe Cortez, watch there round where Ricky loses the point.

Later in that same round, Mayweather absolutely CLOBBERS Ricky with an elbow to the face and 2 right hands in the back of the head, WHILE JOE CORTEZ IS BREAKING THEM.

Ok...

I don't even think Floyd would believe that.

Cortez doesn't interfere and the whole fight goes like R2. Man against boy.

You may be right, however even if someone else reffed the fight, Floyd would've simply adapted and adjusted, as is his nature, and he would've boxed Ricky all night.

The end result would be same, in my view.

Floyd does this in all his fights. Personally I don't have a problem with it but it seems to be the same people who call Hatton "The Hugman" that are throwing their toys out their prams when Floyd's roughhouse tactics are pointed out.

Haha , last time round you were calling him the runner now he is a mugger with roughhouse tactics lol ,, give it a rest mate and take the loss for what it was , your guy ran a long last you have no argument !

Floyd fought well on the inside, but Hatton had the edge while he was still fresh and even in certain close-up patches in later rounds as the HBO commentators remarked.

Floyd took more headshots in that fight than I seen him take in his last 3 fights. He was hurt in R2 as well and just as Ricky was about to open up, Cortez comes rushing in saying 'no, no, no'.

Floyd needed the breaking up to get the headshots in. After those, Ricky was never the same fighter and Floyd was much fresher.

I don't recall Team Hatton complaining about elbows from Floyd.

Is there a link to that? Just askin'.

did you not see Ricky making the elbowing motion after the bell sounds for the end of the round?

Its savage but the amusing thing is every time Floyd does it Ricky gets riled up and sends few punches into his face

I suppose Cortez issued Floyd a warning?

He should've deducted a point from Floyd if it was intentional, right?
