Any fighter should be pulled up on rabbit punching or other forms of inside fouling. However at even the wiff of holding etc. the fighters should fight it out. Pro-active refereeing is **** in my book. One single GIF does not underline a point either.
Hatton's last stand, he fought the best fight of his career in this fight and gave Mayweather some problems before he figured him out. Hatton deserves a lot of credit for a great effort in this one.
Hatton really impressed me in that fight... He also impressed Floyd who ended up saying the un-thinkable... That Ricky was his toughest fight. Floyd was in control the entire fight but Hatton was making it a very high paced fight and he was controlling much of the distance as well.. When Floyd was at his best was when Floyd was able to create space and lay traps that Hatton fell into. It was a good fight..

I rewatched ODH vs Floyd today also, Floyd is hittable, Ortiz could land his looping left hook, he needs to pin Floyd onto the ropes and dont give him time to think.
What do you know, another judgemental tosser who doesn't have a ****ing clue. First off, in a room of 10 people I was the only guy telling people Mayweather would make easy work of Hatton. Second, I'm Scottish, how about you check the history between England and Scotland. Third, I've always thought Cortez and Parris are the worst refs in the biz. He was ****ing aweful. Sure Ricky used some rough house tactics, BUT NOT EVERYTIME!! and Cortez was breaking early, hell a couple of times he jumped in even before they held. He was ****, any UNBIASED (key word here) viewer can see that.
Ortiz is quite a different prospect for Floyd. How can many people say they've fought a converted southpaw boxer-puncher who has his power in his right hand? Not many. Ortiz has major flaws in certain areas, which Floyd will have an absolute field-day with but even that point I listed is quite a funny one. Floyd will handle it but its not like he has vast experience in facing opponents with that make-up.
Hatton was ugly at points true, but MOST?? Check these out. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWNC7IJ-tL8[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqldHEJ4p7U[/ame] I believe that's checkmate.hi:
