Well Hatton did get a few extra seconds to recover but it was the other fighters fault. If he had stayed back then the ref would have restarted the action right away. The other guy also didn't move back right away when the ref told him to so it is his own fault really.
Ref's discretion, after all...Joe Cortez used to give guys about 20 Seemed fine to me. Plus Hatton deserved the win too, even if the scorecards were crap.
