The hungry one won.lol
Hatton fought an atrocious fight. I have no idea what was going through his mind. He didn't seem to have a gameplan whatsoever, and his chin has seemingly deserted him. :-\
He had no idea how to deal with punches thrown in bunches besides initiating the clinch. The concept of having a guard for self protection was seemingly not there. He was almost inviting himself to be sparked out.
I'm still having issues coming to terms with what happened exactly. Manny was great, but I'm struggling to believe that was really Ricky Hatton out there. Mindblowing. :o
Haha your havin the same problems as me i see on tryin to get your replies loaded.
Hatton DEFINATLY had the power to really hurt Pacman and he did land a couple, if only hed of moved like you say instead of being so dam easy to hit we would of had a proper fight.
But sayin that i had no idea Pacquiao could hit that hard, i knew hed catch Hatton plenty but i just didnt think hed make is so easy for him and i didnt think hed smash Hatton in so much so early.
Hatton would have never been able to close the gap if he tried to come in at an angle, he didn't commit to coming in like he used to and Pacquiao was able to catch him coming in, even if he did , Pacquiao is skilled enough now to almost fully nullify any offensive Hatton could produce.
He was totally outclassed, and only Marquez and Mayweather IMO stand a chance agianst Manny. Cotto is too slow, Mosley isn't good enough with distance against anyone with talent.

Pacman is by far the best boxer Hattons faced, my question is this, Was that really the best Hatton could of done against him?
i suspect a rift with his trainer....Quote:

I don't want to discredit Manny because he couldn't be expected to do any more than what he did. But questions have to be asked of Hatton. Hatton has always been so resiliant and even in defeat caused problems for his opponent. And yet here he is being blown away in two when lesser fighters have lasted far longer against Manny.
Manny has no doubt improved a great deal, but I would never expect Hatton to be a fighter you can just go in there and blast out without even working up a sweat. It peculiar. We could all see that Hatton was doing things wrong and we are just armchair pundits....how was Hatton not prepared to face a fighter who throws in flurries? He didn't use any of the basics and left his chin open repeatedly.
It's almost as though Ricky had lost his mind. I'm sure we will hear things in due course, but that wasn't any Ricky Hatton that I have ever seen before. And like I say, I don't want to take credit away from Manny, because just maybe he is that good. :-\
good point,but at least HATTON tried something else instead of his usual suicidal attack approach.Quote:

Pacman destroyed him
I just hope Hatton is OK...
It's all about recovering now and just taking a long vacation with his son and girl.
Cheers for the link Smashup. My first look with English commentary.
I will say it again. WTF was Ricky doing out there? Manny looked great but Hatton played right into his hands there. Very, very frustrating. Stopped in 2...still in shock...
Well IMO even if hatton fought the fight we all thought would be best against a guy like pacman, it was going to be an up hill battle. You gotta remember that in boxing a ko loss can wreck your chin...it does happen and maybe thats the case here. Maybe the floyd loss gave hatton doubt in his chin or maybe it has weakened him, sounds stupid but it happens in these sports. Hatton really did his best to help manny in this fight, heres my chin..take a shot. Body shots were key to victory here and i really believe that what hatton needed to do was smother him. Hattons power is on the inside but from a distance hes very open. Pacmans power is mostly on the outside, dont get me wrong..he can fight inside but his real knock out power comes from full extension of that straight left and left hook..its not a confined left hook he throws, he does need room. And all hatton did was clinch on the inside. But you know this happens, chances are pacman would of hit him with those punches sooner or later no matter what, it just happened sooner in this case.

;D Im so sorry man...i had to say it lol I was picking hatton to win but i didnt really care who won.
Just finished watching fight online and it was just what I thought it would be. Ricky charging in with his hands down recklessly and Pac, boxing him and landing hooks and straight lefts. So, can all the Hatton-ites please shut the hell up about him!!! Just think of it this way, he will save a lot of people airfare and hotel $$$ if he just fades away.
A boxer will always beat a fighter. Now let's get two fighters together, so we can see some real artists at their craft. Floyd, are you there?
I,ve always had Pac to win BUT I still underestimated him by a long shot. 7 rounds off to be exact.
I over estimated Ricky as well by looking to far into his past and hoping he could bring the whole lot to the table today.
That said Ricky could of brought the lot and I think he still would of got caught early and still it would be an early night
He got dropped by both of Mannys hands in two different situations with two different shots that says it all, Manny is beyond great.
Call me crazy I would like see Pac /Mosley.
