Hatton v Tzyu announced

Hatton's Style Fits Vann's Style = Bias

i think its unfair to say vann is bias hes a world class respected ref ,he is known for letting fighter be rough

Trouble begins when a ref's style fits the style of one fighter more than the other. Sure the ref is not be biased, because he'll weigh each fighter's actions by the same standard, but if that standard gives one fighter an advantage, it's called bias. That can happen when Hatton and Vann are in the same ring.

In fact, I'd say Ricky stands to benefit from any Vann-like ref, as opposed to a refs like Cortez or Bayless who often stop fighters from what they call "silliness".

The excuses are allready coming in.....lmao.

Correct........wait until after Kostya has been beaten, and then they can make excuses. There's still plenty time before this fight happens for Zoo to pick up a phantom injury.

if vann's style of refereing stopped hatton being rough it would benefit the opponent and therefore be bias on that account. if referees styles were to be scrutinised before every fight in order to find a ref whose style favoured niether of the fighters it wud b imposible. vann has only appeared in alot of hatton fights due to availability and has never been accused of being biased.zoo quite a rugged fighter himself and i do not feel that the fact that vann maybe the referee will have a detrimental effect on the fight in favour of either fighter.

Has it been confirmed that this Vann guy is the ref? I don't know much about him so I can't comment, but is this all speculation or has he been named as the ref?

Getting beat by one of the best pound 4 pound fighters would be a great reason to retire

Anyone who fights Tszyu has a chance of getting KO'd early, it wouldnt mean Hatton wasnt able to mix with elite fighters, it would just mean Hatton(like many others) couldnt take Tszyu's best shots.

IMO Hatton at least will give a very good account of himself.

paquiao will get ****ed up

June 4th in Manchester????

If Micky Vann is the ref, Tzyu will have to KO Hatton just to get a draw.

I'm sure Tzyu will try to do just that.
