Hattons been beat [:

[Minstrels]

Gutted that Hatton lost and I was annoyed with the ref like any other Hatton fan but at the end of the day that punch which put Hatton down was a cracker, even without the ref I think Hatton would have still lost as Mayweather put in some good punches.

hatton got beat by the better boxer really mayweather showed his class and picked his spots but ricky gave his all but the better boxer won deservedly although the ref was rubbish

Knew Mayweather would win, even though i hate him cocky c**t. Rematch Hatton will win.

Mayweather won - get it into your heads, he obviously deserved to win otherwise he wouldn't of.

I won some money anyway, stupid people thinking Hatton would win.

Why do you always have a negative attitude seriously go eat some mature cheddar
I use to have respect for you but now you get on like a little kid putting everyone down.

Hatton was cheated BIG TIME by the ref and the judging panel were all Mayweather fans as someone said.

But still I think Mayweather still woulda won.

From Sky Sports

He was ably assisted by referee Cortez who did not let Hatton get close to his man, when the whole world knew his best chance to win was to get in the champion's face and fight like he has never fought before.

No sooner had he done that than the official was between them. Too many times he stepped in, once before Hatton had even thrown a punch. Cortez had been asked by Billy Graham to let them fight on the inside, but had clearly made his mind up.

From the first round he wouldn't let the rhythm flow, wouldn't let Hatton build up any momentum and it was clear that the Hitman had two foes to deal with. In the sixth he had a point deducted for hitting round the back of the head, the only real surprise being that Cortez waited that long.

Mayweather's part should not be underplayed either. Ducking down into the Hitman's attacks he duped the referee, left Hatton with little alternative but to box round the back of the head and when that point was stripped, wasn't even hit - and was leaning out of the ropes.

But it was all part of the performance. A performance that proves, whether or not you like him, the Pretty Boy is far and away the best fighter of his generation.

Yet it had all started so well for Hatton, his pace and his work-rate edging the first round amid the constant refereeing interruptions. The size of the task soon became clear though when, on the break, Mayweather started finding his range.

The ref did have alot to do with it. Hatton's technique is to lean onto his opponent and throw in hooks to the body, head. Where as soon as they clinched in, the ref was breaking it which was helping Floyld because that isnt were Floyld wanted to be. He was dropping back and picking his shots. The point deduction was a disgrace, the punch didnt touch the back of the head as Mayweathers head was not even in the ring. I think the point deduction caused Hatton to get stressed and go all out as he wasnt focusing on a defensive role but more on just going right in and throwing punches which caused Mayweahter to catch him with that left hook that put him out. I dont like to say it but Mayweahter was the better fighter but maybe if their was a diffrent/better ref the outcome of the fight would been diffrent.
