Dirt Bag Ref Cost Zoo His Title

[vB Martin]

hatton won, cheap tactics or no

I agree with that, but I think with another ref, he would either have had to lose the flagrant fouling or be DQ'd. Without the fouling, and a ref willing to go along wih it, would it have been the same fight with the same outcome?

Now that Hatton holds the IBF belt he can demand fighters go there to take it. I have a feeling that not many top notch fighters will try, and not because of Hatton's skill or power or heart. He showed no skill or power tonight. It will be because of everything he was allowed to get away with.

I've said this before. I've been a big fan of boxing for more than 30 years, and I have never seen a fight that dirty where the fighter wasn't penalized.

What a load of rubbish.

I'd prefer to take Kostya Tzsyu's take on the fight:

"Tonight, I lost to the better man - he was better than me everywhere."

There is no dispute.

I was one of the people who didn't give Ricky a cat in hell''s chance.

Full credit to him.

have you ever seen 'world title' fights in germany?

when robin reid fought sven ottke, he was warned for just about everything and the climax was when the referee warned reid for hitting ottke........

u might get some referee mistakes in the states, but by far and large, it is more and more impartial than places like germany and great britain.....

Dr O Strich said yesterday at the weigh in pics

that Hatton looked drained and overtrained

so don't critisize him

yay! I got my first red dot ever! that makes up for the 40 mil I lost tonight.

****ing idiot. If you don't like people who have different opinions from you, a message board certainly is not the place for you to be.

nope. I don't think Hatton will ever fight outside Europe unless he can bring the tag team of Vann and Pariss with him.
