    About the point deduction, I've seen a lot of people moaning about Hatton not being warned first, but I've just watched Mayweather Hatton again and in the first round Cortez warns Hatton about hitting behind the head. The point deduction was justified IMO.

    Yeah it would have been justified if the punch had landed. It didnt, unlike the elbows Hatton was eating just before.

    Yip.

    You could see Floyd just flop on the ropes. Credit to him, he took advantage of the situation and the ref did what Floyd wanted. It ****ed up Hattons mindset to lose that point and he admits it.
