Ricky Hatton says he cannot understand how Martin Murray didn't emerge victorious against Sergio Martinez at the weekend.
Murray blocked most of the Argentinian's southpaw's best punches in the early rounds before taking over the second half of the contest in front of more than 40,000 fans in Buenos Aires.
The Englishman scored a knockdown in the eighth round and had the Martinez over again in the tenth only to see it ruled a slip.
Despite this, and punch stats leaning in Murray's favour, all three judges posted scores of 115-112 for the home boxer.
"I think Martin should be the middleweight champion of the world," stated a dejected Hatton, Murray's promoter. "It was a good competitive fight but there was only one winner for me." [Click Here To Read More]
