Will the referee allow Hatton to hold and hit against Mayweather?

Whether you like or dislike Hatton, you have to admit that he holds and hits (which is illegal in boxing) nonstop and is rarely warned for it. Against the #1 rated boxer in the world, will the referee(whoever they may be) allow Hatton to cheat like he has in his last handful of fights?

I think the ref will allow Hatton to fight his fight..In this case, I believe that Hatton will use his weight to his advantage, only to get wore out by the 5th or 6th round...He will get beat down real bad..

Probably depends on the referee.

I would bet that if it's Jay Nady, it will not be allowed.

If a boxer allows his opponent to hold and hit, then their the ****** ones. Good boxers can stop their opponents from holding and hitting.

Hatton holds his opponent's arm and swings away with his free arm. I've never been in such a situation, but I've got to imagine it's tough to wrench your arm back from being held while getting punched on the other side of your body. If a boxer holds and hits, it's illegal.

I would say no, because that is illegal.
A referee should never allow a boxer to break the rules.

Haha, that's pretty damn funny, not gonna lie.

You seem like a person who would take credit away from Hatton if he wins. Even though I hardly doubt Hatton has a chance. Though, I don't like your topic already making excuses if theres an upset.

I definitely agree with that. Jay Nady doesn't allow the fighter that initiates the holding to hit but the other fighter can hit if he's being held.
