    Two wrongs don't make a right but you probably hadn't been paying attention to Tyson's fighting style. Remember all the elbows he threw against Biggs? How about the nice elbow he stuffed into Larry Holmes's face? Cortez was the ref that night. Remember the punches after the bell against Bonecrusher and Tubbs? Not to mention the fact that Tyson took a swing at Tubbs when he was already down. Remember the second round with Razor Ruddock in their first fight? Low-blows, a headbutt, punching on the break. Yeah, Tyson was a regular saint in there. Holyfield gave him a (pardon the cliche) "dose of his own medicine." Deal with it. Lane was a solid referee.

    One of Hatton's refs I dare say.

    Probably Dave Paris but there are a few other considerations within Hatton's payroll back in England.

    Also the Belgian guy that reffed Ottke-Reid.

    There was a Belgian judge named Philip Verbeke who was absolutely horrible. Thank God Daniel Van Der Wiele is from Belgium. I think he's pretty solid.

    Lazcano had hatton hurt and Lazcano was going for it but the ref broke it up and gave hatton time to recover and hold on until the end of the round that ref was John Foster
