    Despite some of the scores that fight was very very close, Im still pissed at Zoo for deciding to quit!
    It was a tough fight, but thanks to Maussa's "unique" tactics Ricky was cut badly over both eyes and in possible danger of being pulled out.

      Pulled out?

      Had the fight been stopped it would have either been a no contest or if it went to the cards it was clearly Ricky's fight.

      As long as Ricky fights at home he wont have to worry about losing on cuts unless his face is about to come off.

        Yeah, you're right. But in a way...

          HEy Anorak, I watched the fight but I had my wife in my ear on a few different occassions...Im curious did officials ever really closley examine Hatton's cuts?

          I dont recall seeing a Doctor or the ref coming over to take a REAL look at the cut.

          Did this happen and I just missed it?

            I don't recall this, no. Apparently it used to be a regular occurence early in his career (only seen his last eight or so) so maybe they know the corner knew what they were doing?

              That is interesting-also something I guess I can say I have never bfore see as well. A fighter cut like that and was never even checked?

              Let me ask you anopther question...If Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton were fighting in that very same arena in 6 months and Mayweather suffeered a bad cut similiar to Ricky's...does anyone check it out in your opinion?

                great point
                wow
                i didnt even think about that
                i didnt think the headbutts were that bad tho, thats why this makes me believe hatton gets cut up easily
                maybe i need to watch the fight again

                  In North America, Cotto got limited credit for destroying Maussa. Prior to that fight, the Columbian was seen only as a durable stepping stone, and Cotto passed the test.

                  So, again in North America, Ricky's conquest of Maussa is seen as an obvious outcome. Ricky will get his due credit for beating a man that he should have beaten. Nothing more.

                  Much like Cotto, nobody should get too excited about Hatton beating this particular opponent.
