Hatton did better in round 9, but they probably gave it to Mayweather.

Hatton is fighting two men. The crooked ref won't let him fight inside.

That sucky axe ref was bought and paid for by the "home" team. No question.

What was the crowd's reaction?

Fight should be considered No Contest because of the blatantly crooked referee. Hatton repeatedly fought his way inside only to be immediately stopped - and that's not even mentioning the bizarre point deduction.

Is there anyway Calzaghe or Pavlik can face this clown Mayweather?

I know this was a big match for sure, but as far as the sport goes, I don't know how anyone can get excited about boxing after watching MMA. There is no comparison. Boxing is boring. If this wasn't such a caste match I would have found it boring, all the clutching, grabbing, ducking, pushing off, cheating, ref intereference, etc, etc.
Well, time to wait for the Klitchskos. I'm not really surprised. I've always thought that Hatton was the most beatable of all the white champions out there. The pure slugger vs. pure boxer match-up is usually not good for the slugger.
hatton's strategy didn't work. he took a lot of shots charging in then wasn't able to do anything when he got there. he seemed too quick to allow clinches. he kept wraping his arms around mayweathers' torso, and mayweather would take two overhooks and the ref would break them up.

That was the worst refereeing job I've ever seen. That crooked ******* makes the crooked ******* Randy Neuman look like Mills Lane by comparison.

I don't know, Poop, I know you want to see it but I'm not sure why. It was an ugly fight. I'm sure the KO will be up on YouTube within minutes.
As far as the ref, I don't know I think there was too much clinching and holding. Mayweather was constantly ducking and bending over at the waist, they were wrapping their arms over each other's heads, wrestling each other into the ropes. If anything, the ref should have warned Mayweather about punching to the back of the head, bending over, rubbing his laces across the face, holding, etc. It seemed like Hatton would get inside and Mayweather would find a way to entangle himself with Hatton to get the ref to break them up.

It would have been a great fight if there was an honest ref in there.

If Hatton wants a rematch he should tell Mayweather "Yeah you're pretty good, but are you good enough to beat me twice; this time in England with an English ref instead of an American one? Come on fight me again, I'm not scared!"

Hatton had an uphill battle giving up 6 inches in reach and moving up in weight. You have to like Hatton. The guy is tough and he's still champion in his weight class.

Overall, a sucky ending to a sucky day for me and the teams I was pulling for. Here's to a better Sunday. Goodnight all.

I hope he says just that, and I hope they find a British ref just like this one. I was hoping his corner would protest or attack the SOB. It was great when Hatton showed the ass his ass, though!
