As a massive Hatton fan, I think the ref did an appauling job of the fight. I think it should be looked into, to stop things like this happening in the future, but as far as calling this a no contest - that would be ******. Ricky was beat fair and square. Yeah there were elbows and such by Floyd, but Ricky aint the cleanest of fighters. I think if Hatton was allowed to fight his 'Style' he may have lasted the fight out, but he would still have lost badly on points. His style had no chance to beat the much better fighter.

If the referee wasn't Cortez, he still wouldn't have won. Mayweather was just too good, I give Hatton a heck of a lot of credit for bringing out the best Floyd Mayweather though.Last edited by boxing_pundit85; 12-12-2007, 01:26 AM.

anyway, true, cortez not allowing Hatton to work inside may have affected SOME of what happened, but Floyd had Ricky's number. He was walking in to so many right hands that a set up and knock out was bound to happen. let the fight be, let Floyd take a rest and choose his next opponent.

Phil 'The Power' Taylor's view:
'He did seem to have Mayweather slightly in trouble in that first round, though, and maybe he would have done better with a different referee. I thought the referee was a disgrace. Shouting at him in my bedroom, I was. He should never referee a match again. Something wasn't right.
Why would he keep interrupting all the time, when that's Ricky's strength, fighting close in like that?'
