At the end of the day the best man won... in the circumstances.
I'm not trying to sound bitter here, But WHAT THE HELL was referee Cortez doing in the opening 3 rounds? Every time Hatton was getting inside, he broke the fight up straight away, so Hatton wasn't getting the chance to throw body shots. By the 4th round Hatton had used a lot of energy, and then Cortez decides to let the fight flow a little, but now Hatton looks slower and its getting easier for Maywether. And one more thing, why was Hatton deducted a point? The punch didn't land! Maywether should have been deducted a point for putting his head down and constantly tying up.
Anyway, I'm glad that's off my chest. Maywether showed some REAL class in the fight, but I've got a niggling feeling that if Cortez had let it flow earlier, we might have been looking at a different outcome...
Oh well... what's done is done now...
