What's the outrage. Hatton admits he does sly fouls. But even i could see that every clinch instigated by Hatton was bein broken up. Every Floyd clinch was allowed, and all you could see was 10 secs of mayweather's elbows rammed in his face and throat. Cortez was a disgrace. Hatton is making that point. But he is not backing down from the fact that A) he is a dirty fighter himself B) Floyd is a great champion C) Mayweather was 'clever' and would have beat him anyway. Anyone smaller than me who wants to have a boxing match, and let me hit them with my elbows and ram them in the throat for ten secs at a time every clinch, PM me for details.
Also, in the Tszyu fight, Kotsya was pretty streetwise himself. You can come round my house after we have our boxing fight, and I'll point out Tszyu's two low blows (before Hatton's infamous one) and numerous illegal rabbit punches. The ref in the Tszyu fight was just stupid and let alot ofdodgy **** go, the mayweather ref was CLEARLY biased towards Mayweather. A journalist in the UK summed it up before the fight - Hatton better win by KO because if it goes to points he ain't gonna be winning: THIS IS VEGAS. If some of you US fans can't understand that history favours the American fighters over there, you're a little ignorant of reality.
He got a point taken off. That's exactly why he lost. Yeah, he got KTFO what the hell's he talking about. He lost his composure, that's his own damn fault. All that's stuff that you need to deal with in the ring. He needs to stop bitching and admit he lost, instead of blaming the ref.
I've just watched the post fight interview and thats the crux of what Hatton said. Hardy 'making excuses'.....
He didn't say that....he said the got the point taken off, felt he had to force the pace a little more as he was behind and Mayweather KO'd him.
None of your business really, but I sent him this PM yesterday: "I'm just back from Vegas (nice holiday, shame about the result!!). If you PM me an avatar I'll honour our bet. All the best GazOC"
Please see 3:13 of the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxbH1OPv7zM Regarding the elbows,lol. I got a piece about that too. But stop with the Cortes excuse please..
Most of the Joy Boys here don't seem to have any formal education, so you may be correct. Actually, their inability to read exlpains a lot about the way they post as well.
