This is an observation but, when Hatton fought Tszyu, some fans complained the ref let Hatton hold and hit and allowed rough tactics. Then when Hatton fought Mayweather, some folks complained that the ref did not allow Hatton to work on the inside. Same complaints leveled on Ward when he fought Kovalev. I'm starting to think people want their guy to win and will flip flop on their positions depending on the fighter they are backing.
Got to say that was the worst of British refereeing , if hatton had not had that ref he would have been toast!..bit like canelo really.
