Lazcano was repeatedly punching below the belt as well, all fight. People ignore that because Hatton didn't make an issue of it.
Lazcano's knees were wobbling around crazily. How was he gonna ko Hatton? Sure, he caught Hatton very well every time Hatton thought he had him finished but that's because of Lazcano's pure will to go out like a lion. The guy is from Ciudad Juarez for crying out loud. That border town is tough as bricks.
Shamelessly, because Ricky Hatton was holding for dear life when Lazcano pushed down on his head to break loose...the ref admonished Lazcano when it was Hatton who was the one who was holding. In that situation, an impartial referee just breaks between the fighters and tells them to continue fighting..... .....this referee called timeout and proceeded to conveniently hold a session to lecture Lazcano...... .....in the meantime, Hatton is getting precious seconds of recovery time. I say it and I say it with all honesty....... .........Shameless!!!
It was definitely shameless, when the action is on and someone is hurt they don't stop it for nothing, hell I've seen mouth pieces fly out and still the action persists when one fighter has a big advantage.
Watch the clip guys its a figment of you imagination. This content is protected Hatton is clearly not hurt....
Christ!! You should be an evangelist. Hatton was nowhere near being stopped or even in any sort of real trouble, let alone holding on for dear life.
I agree but when people make up their minds to believe something no amount of evidence will change their minds.
Here's the video again, the time in question begins about 5:20: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWiloQ6yPxM&eurl=http://www.***********.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183869&page=4 Watch it carefully. Hatton wasn't hurt at that point, although he had been stunned in the 8th.
