    Obviously, thats why he holds guys arms - because he's not holding.

    I can tell you the word "holding" in three different languages and the connotation is for sure the damn same my friends! :yep

    You people don't like the truth where your boy is concerned :deal

    The "truth" is that he's never been docked a point for holding in 47 fights, therefore the powers that be don't regard what he does as holding, just clinching. Anything else is semantics.

    Not according to highly qualified officials who have officiated at Hatton fights.

    Clinching isn't holding :deal

    He isn't my boy, I find his style ugly and without merit, but I do find blind hate for no other reason than to whip up controversy on an internet forum just a bit purile...get back to your stinky shark, igloo boy :good

    Wow.....

    Wasn't expecting 40 votes.

    14 (35%) believe he should have been DQ'd - including the usual suspects, Betty, Dunky and Mike464.

    Nothing from Scurla or TFFP.....

    26 (65%) believe he should have been allowed to continue.

    Qualifications go out the window when there is a high degree of favourtism. We've seen that when Max Kellerman got a big job at HBO. It's the same with Hatton, the cashcow with influential promoters. In the noble sport of boxing how often do we see the lesser known fighter robbed for the golden goose?Hatton has long been favoured by refs - people like to ignore it and call the doubters conspiracy theorists. However, the constant holding, the decision against Collazo, the reffing in Tszyu/Lazcano..the evidence surely mounts! How amazing it was all the little decisions went his way, every time, and how sweet it was to hear him and his brainwashed fans whining about the excellent Cortez!

    If its such a clinch why doesn't he let go quick? He holds you nutjobs! :p

    Now I know that you are on the wind-up...the man is and was a biased **** way before the Hatton fight. I've hated him since around the time that you would have been swinging off of your mothers tit.

    Christ! When he fought in the UK the British refs were supposedly biased towards him and now he's fought in the USA the entire sport is bending over backwards doing him favours? Its not your defination of holding thats wrong, its every single ref, judge and administrator in the sports definition?

    And you call Hatton arrogant!!

    No Cortez did an okay job

    I think the Americans have done a slightly better job but still should have clamped down more. Weeks was particlarly weak. They were possibly intimidated by the fans.

    In England...well..very poor reffing of Tszyu, Maussa, Lazcano. Error strewn. Error is possibly the wrong word considering it was premeditated...but yes.

    Funnily enough, you can find evidence for a lot of things when you look for it and try and twist every single little thing to look the way you want. The sun looks pale yellow as I stare out of the windown now - surely evidence that it's made of cheese? Meanwhile, nobody with any sense even noticed any holding issue or an issue with the refereeing in either of those fights. The only reason it is getting any airtime whatsoever is that the same old dozen or so people keep banging the same drum over and over again. What is it they say if you keep repeating the same pile of bollocks over and over again, some idiot will always start to believe it. Just like the "Hamed got totally outclassed and beaten to a pulp by Barrera" line coming from people who never saw the fight. And the old "Kessler got outclassed and showed he has no heart against Calzaghe" one.

    Maussa was reffed fine by Mickey Vann.

    The Tszyu fight was only really missing a point deduction for the shocking low blow, but the Aussie was hardly an angel himself.

    I was too drunk to remember too much about the Lazcano fight... and cannot be chewed watching it again.

    Get real, the reffing of Zoo, Maussa and Lascano was fine bar for a bunch of internet loons who would find fault with anything Hatton related even if they had to watch the whole fight again frame by frame to find something.

    So now the UK refs are corrupt and the USA refs intimidated? Rather than weave these fantastic conspiracy theories ever just thought that perhaps they just know how to interpret the rules a little better than you?
