i've seen some bad refereeing but the ref in the tszu/hatton fight was the worst so far!i've never seen a ref that actually allows fighters to clinch so excessively and use elbows and headbutts without taking out points.hopefully i would never ever have to see a ref like that again.tony weeeks,kenny bayless,raul caiz,joe cortez and jay nady are pretty good IMO

well I guess you never watched those fights or you are just being sarcastic because these are 2 fights where he probably held the least. But with that said im going to vote yes the ref was bias. I havent watched the fight in a while but 2 things that stick in my mind was when zoo dropped hatton with a body shot that was ruled a "slip" and that blatant low blow he hit zoo with was crazy and all he got was a warning( mind you that he did it right after the ref was warning zoo for goin low then right after that he popped him-that was intentional imo) and lets not forget all of the holding.
I won't vote, I'll let all you vote since I clearly have a biased viewpoint, because I think Hatton has won most of his big-fights by clinching excessively
No more biased than Cortez was in favour of Mayweather.
Look, people. Like fighters, referees have different styles, and opinions as to what 'excessive' clinching may be. Clinching is part of the game, and all fighters do it when the situation requires, even those nuthugged by the hate-Hatton contingent. Good fighters also know how to handle it. One approach does not make a referee 'biased' any more than another.
