Hehe. It is his patch though, being a Leeds lad. It must be pretty emotional for him if Hatton's going off to the US as reported.

There is one reason and one reason only that I think that the fight won't be ended early if Maussa "so much as wobbles".
Hatton is heavily the favorite and EVERYONE involved is going to want to see an extreme domination. I think that there may be more than a slight amount of pressure to let Hatton pummel then fully knock out Maussa.
If there is a problem, it might be that the fight is allowed to go on too long so that Hatton can show domination by getting the KO even if Maussa is out on his feet.
Don't forget, referees are also trying to build reputations too. The ones who get to ref the huge televised fights (and this is big potatoes for England) are going to know that the eyes of the world are on them.

Yes I believe that Hatton will win. But I am not partisan. Hatton's the better boxer, in great condition and Maussa's style seems to suit Hatton beautifully. However Maussa would be an entertaining champ. I wish them both luck and primarily hope for a controversy free fight.
Boxing needs more unification fights. It also helps when they prove to include entertaining fighters like Maussa.

Does this mean you want to be known as a ****** and like getting bad karma???

Names are names, and with Hatton's early televised fights especially, it would be hard to name them. I'm a Hatton fan, but I'm not blind to the favoritism shown to him by officials since he always fights at home. It was evident in the Tszyu fight even, but, of course, not an issue.

I've watched every Hatton fight and he's never been shown any bias, i think your jumping on the ****wagon along with all the other people who have never seen him fight
