Hatton was already up. Nuzhnenko had gone to the neutral corner when Hatton went down.
A couple of other times when Hatton was hurt, the referee had Nuzhnenko go to his corner and fix his tape, even though it wasn't coming undone very much.

That's an interesting point; refs have the power to make or break. However I didn't see the fight and must go by the opinions of those who did see it.
I can think of a few other cases where the same sort of acion by the ref DID (in the opinion of journalists) affect the fight, by his physical intervention. One was when Archie Moore KD Rocky Marciano. Another was when Harold Johnson KD Archie Moore.
And, of course the famous Dempsey Tunney rematch, when Dempsey KD Tunney. You could even include the Tyson Douglas fight when the ref gave Douglas at least a 14 second count (to eight), although he didn't physically intervene.
And I'm sure there have been many more.

Enough of the excuses, Nuzchenko was yapping on pre-fight about how he'd beaten better fighters than Hatton, well he can yap all the way back to East Europe now and dream of what might've been.
