Should the fight be reviewed?

**** a compubox, Hatton was gonna unload on him in R2 AND R5 after hitting him with huge shots

Floyd turns his back and ducks to ground on both occasions and Cortez runs in on both occasions.

Round 2 at 2:19 in the other thread he takes a huge shot to the face but Cortez saved him. He was hurt.

that looked worse than it was. Floyd was not hurt there at all.

his back is to us but he catches a big one in the face and Ricky's about to open up and Cortez grabs his arm.

Floyd's ducking to the ground again which is illegal and hanging under ricky's arm, ricky punches him out of it and the ref stops it. The commentators comment on Cortez just after and Mayweather's holding.

We all knew that Rickys chances would come down to what fight he would be allowed to fight. He knew that there would be a good chance that he wouldnt get away with his mugging style of fighting. He wasnt allowed to fight how he likes to, and that made him a sitting duck to Floyd. I dont think Cortez was bought off, but I think he aired on the safe side. Since he didnt let Hatton fight rough, all he has to do to silence critics is say he was following the rules. But if he let Hatton fight a rough house style fight and he had beat Floyd, people could claim that Cortez didnt stop Ricky from fouling. Cortez really couldnt say much to deflect that argument. So he played it safe. If and that is a huge if, someone could prove the ref or judges were bought off, then that would be one thing, but otherwise Ricky just got the short end of the stick that night. Simple as that.

Mayweather didn't buy him off but he is a cash cow. Look at the money he's bringing in. Hatton could never bring that in, in the US.
