disgusting....its only round 5 and i've counted 654 clinches on ricky's part while the ref has a sandwich in the corner

That was one of the worst refereeing displays I have ever seen Kostya took so many low blows and rabbit punches it wasn't even funny.

have you seen how hostile the crowd was.

If the ref was fair I think he will be beatin up to the pulp.

even with the clinch Kostya was winning the fight at the later rounds and started to take control. The problem is that they way Ricky Hatton clinchs.

He clinchs and the rests his head at Kostya should that means Hatton is resting abit while Kostya getting abit tired.

As well as in some of his clinchs he twisted Kostya arms

Th British are the weirdest boxing fans. They don't get behind geniuenly good fighters like Lewis, and Calzaghe, but they will cheer for a dude like Hatton.

clinching is part of boxing but not the pretty one.

But the ref should warn on exessive clinching.

Also brawlers should not clinch

4 years later and this ref is still pissin me off

dude, The reason why people havent gotten behind Calzaghe is because he's welsh and their country has a population of about 5 people and 4 million sheep.
Lennox is black. who did have alot of loyal Brit fans
Naseem is an arab who also had alot of fans.
Hatton is white and the Brits need and want more white boxing champs.This is why Khan wont be popular.

could be Hatton represent white brits

But there is alot of Pakistanis and Indian in UK.

I think if Amir Khan was successful he will open the doors for other middle eastern to enter to boxing.

Naseem was one ****y entertianer. He hits strong in some weird angles that you rarely see boxers do today.

But he was too ****y that he even didnt train for Barrera fight.
