Cortez got on Hatton's back more because of the booing of the anthem

[ALT-Assassin]

that move by the referee was nothing but commonsense do you know how many fights ive watched in the states where the referee has inexplicably stopped the action when he should'nt have due to a mouth peice or to take a point off rather than wait for a lull in the action etc

you are just a Hatton hater the ref did him no favours that a non British referee would'nt have done

I don't hate Hatton.If me paying to go see one of his fights in the UK is hating him,then call me a hater.Me claiming that Hatton's ref is biased is just as bad as people claiming Cortez was on the payroll.Do you know how many professional bouts Cortez has refed?Out of all of those fights how many has he been accused of being biased,or on the payroll?

you dont need to pray for me ahh kid you are the one obsessed with Hating on Ricky Hatton

i was just messing about having joke with this thread its tools like you that take it literally because you cant seperate the issues you have with Hatton

I think Hatton is overrated but I don't hate! I wanted him to win that fight but I knew he didn't have a chance, but you are the obsessed loser that cant accept the fact after all this time!

Joe Cortez got on Hatton's back more because of the booing of the national anthem that is school of thought i have anyway ,and because he was holding aswell but i feel the booing of the anthem effected the referees performance aswell

what do you think

Cortez doen't give a **** about the U.S national anthem.

Cortez doen't give a **** about the U.S national anthem.

i dont believe Cortez was on Hatton's case at all.
Hatton needs to understand that throwing a jab followed by a lunging
hook and then clinging on for dear life so his opponent cant throw
nothing back is not boxing.Thats how Kostya Tsyzu got mugged out of his fight.

Whether he was biased or not is almost irrelevant, he made big mistakes and people are correct to point this out.

If it wasnt for the ref, Lazcano would've stopped Ricky.......

Sure,he was a bit over anxious when he broke them up after they were clinching and sometime before they inciated the clinch.The thing I have a problem with is when people claim Cortez cost Hatton the fight or he wouldn't of been knocked out if it wasn't for Cortez.Hatton still won some rounds so if Cortez was not letting Hatton do his thing,why was he nearly ahead on Ledermans card going into the tenth?

I completely reject the idea that Hatton would have defeated Mayweather with a different referee. Mayweather was too good for Hatton and was able to step up a gear when he needed to.

well do you think he has ever had two performances as questionable as the Hatton and Soto fight

Cortez was criticised by American fight fans not just British ,criticism of the ref in the Hatton fight probably stems from the criticism British fans directed at Cortez if the truth be known
