I think the USA refs won't let him get away with the same **** he gets away with in England.

I think the USA refs may be a little biased when it comes to a huge fight like PBF and Hatton, but we'll see.

Who said this fight is going to happen? Hatton still needs to fight in the USA for it to be ppv worthy.

I think Hatton himself knows he won't get away with that here in the U.S so he prolly won't try anything too bad.

depends how bad it is, ive only seen a couple or three times where i think he should of either been warned more or had a point off and he hasnt, hes a rough fighter if he gets too rough the warnings will come and the points will come off if he continues, i dont think he has much to worry about

Agreed, also, it depends on how big the fight is. A ref doesn't want to deduct a point and have that deduction decide who wins. I think Hatton is worthy at times of a point deduction but many fighters clinch hatton and he just trys to release himself by punching out. It makes Hatton look bad but all he wants to do is win and punch at all times.
