Gutted for Hatton. He showed great heart by keeping the pressure on but Mayweathers speed was causing him problems all the way through. He was never going to win on points and went looking for the knock out a round to early for me, but with the ridiculous decision to take a point off for punching the ropes he felt he had to go for it. Terrible performance from Cortez, for such a normally brilliant reff he spoilt it as any sort of contest as early as the first round by constantly breaking them up, that was the biggest worry before the fight and so it proved, he might as well have tied one of Hattons hands behind his back. Take nothing away from Mayweather though, he caught him with a cracking left and was more accurate through out the fight and deserved to win.
