    so he didnt have any excuses about a premature stoppage like he did in the first rios fight. Tony did an amazing job of putting closure on the fight without controversy or any "what ifs". Great job tony!!
    nah. the refs job is to secure the safety of the fighter, not worry about his feelings in a post fight interview.

      When you say "didn't let him hold and hit" you mean not letting him fight inside right? That's why i chuckled a bit when you said that Cortez "followed the rules of boxing". The rules would have only been violated if Hatton was committing fouls, which he was not doing. If anything, Floyd was not "following the rules" since he was using elbows. Watch any old time fight and tell me if the ref is breaking the fight every few seconds. The funny thing is, is that i was rooting for Floyd in that fight and still root for him today, but BS is BS. When the ref took away Hatton's inside fighting, the fight was over.

      These ref's today are real crooked and has ruined some potentially great fights. Some are paid off, and the others think that the fans pay to see them instead of the fighters. Just like that ball headed idiot ref that kept screaming at Mike Mollo over every little thing when he fought Arthur Szpilka in the first fight.
      You can't hold and hit a guy. You can hit a guy with your free arm if you're being held or clinched until the refs break you. Hatton made a notorious living off of holding and hitting. That is not part of the rules.

      Don't make this a Hatton fought clean Floyd used his elbow. A ref enforces rules. He doesn't just take points for fouls. Minor infractions happen and the ref is there to enforce the rules.
