Dirt Bag Ref Cost Zoo His Title

[enadeus]

The holding and lunging by Hatton was ridicolous. The low blow by Hatton should have been a DQ. Very ugly fight.

The ref was abysmal. But: for both fighters. He didn't even warn hatton or tszyu for either low blow, and there was a lot of holding and punching by both fighters.

I KNEW someone would say this.

I was going to have a "Zoo Nuthugger's Excuse Form" for you to select your favourites. If the referee was biased, then why didn't he penalise Zoo for the TWO low blows he did against Ricky earlier?

I will admit that Hatton should have been docked a point, maybe two, for that, but to suggest the referee helped the fight is ridiculous. Zoo was hitting and holding just as much.

Not To Mention Those Trinidad Elbows He Was Using. That Low Blow Was Nasty My God Ref Atleast Take A Point. This Wasnt Kostya Day Everything Was Working Against Him And Just Looked Old. O Yea Kostya's Jab Was Lazy

He warned both several times for, holding, hitting on the break etc and the low blows.
But not what some would call a 'public warning', more of a slight handslap and get on with it

Too bad Kostya ever agreed to take this 2 am fight in GB with that attrocious judging. It was a bad idea for his age.

I thought that the Ref favored Hatton, but what did u expect?? i know Tzsyu expected it. That didn't cost Tzsyu the fight, he just didn't have it tonight

Every time i see a big fight in England the ref manages to f it up somehow. That low blow could have been the beginning of the end for Kostya. That **** was cold rediculous and malicious.

was it old age or could he have peaked from overtraining?
