Replay: Cortez still ******

[Mozza]

Do you really believe that Hatton shouldn't have had a point taken away?

I asked for inconsistencies and you pointed out that both fighters were being treated the same.

I still don't know why he took the point away. It was pathetic.

He seemed to be blaming Hatton for punching the back of Mayweather's head when punches weren't being thrown and later blamed Mayweather when nothing had happened. I'm afraid that one mistake does not cancel out the other and can certainly not be construed as treating the fighters equally. He seemingly turned a blind eye one more than one occasion when Mayweather was hitting and holding but the worst part of his refereeing was splitting the fighters up for no reason.

As I said, there were warnings for both fighters and there wouldn't have been a point taken if Hatton hadn't committed the foul. Where was the inconsistency?

The inconsistency was in the two consecutive punches landed by Mayweather to the back of Hatton's head at the end of the very same round, with no deduction.

The inconsistency is not taking a point away from mayweather for endless elbows.

I urge you to either go back and watch when Hatton blatantly throws a punch at the back of Mayweather's head or get your eyes checked. I can understand if Floyd had turned to the side and got hit with a punch to the back of the head (which happened earlier and no point was taken, correctly so), but it was an obvious attempt at fouling.

As I posted earlier, it always seemed like Hatton's arm was around Floyd's neck when the elbow was trying to push him off. And as I said earlier, even if you see it, you still won't admit to it.

[Jim Jeffries]

I'm not sure if you noticed (and you probably wouldn't admit it anyways), but Floyd's elbow seemed to go up after Hatton's arm somehow ended up around his neck. If your opponent is putting one arm around your neck and hitting you with the other (which is illegal) I wouldn't think his fans would be such bitches about the forearm/elbow pushing him away. Both fighters fought a "rugged" style, both were warned and only one committed a blatant, malicious foul.

You mean by hitting one of the ropes, accentuated by Floyd flopping and hanging on the ropes for effect, as if unconscious.

Yeah Hatton was throwing cheap shots at the back of Floyd's head. That's something people don't seem to remember........either.

The punch didn't land and I believe that points should only be deducted as a last resort unless it is a deliberate low blow in which case it is open season.

fiction, thats not the elbowing I'm talking about. I'm talking about Hatton putting on pressure(not clinching), and Floyd raking him with elbows or committing the less serious yet still illegal penalty of pushing off with the palm or forearm.

Its irrelevant whether it landed. If Mike Tyson couldn't get his teeth firmly on Holyfield's ear should he have been able to continue? If someone brings a bat into the ring, but misses with his swing, is it not illegal? Pushing someone thru the ropes then trying to land to the back of their head is illegal and was correctly punished.
