I know Saddoboxer has a poll already running about this fight. However, that poll was started a long time ago now and I am interested in seeing how people are feeling about the fight now. Some people may not have voted and other posters may have had changes in thought.
So get your votes in and let's see where opinion is currently at.
Hahaha....I cannot spell Pacs name!! :p;D
Shit, I voted Hatton but cannot see my name anywhere. When you vote also post to let us know who you voted for so we can see who is who in the public shaming after the fight.Quote:

Hatton by grueling decision.
Good one Miles, I haven't had much to say in the build up to this but I am excited! I've enjoyed reading a lot of the posts & threads, the talk from both sides supporters has been great around this fight. Niether guy is really a favorite of mine but I've got to respect what both have done... especially Pacquiao!!!
Hatton looked great last time out against Malignaggi & seemed to have rediscovered some lost technique.
Pacquiao has been on an awesome ride! I picked against him with Marquez & then DLH & although I thought he lost to Marquez, both men's efforts were outstanding! The fight could have easily gone either way. What do I need to say about DLH? Impressive!!!
My pick:
I feel that even if Hatton fights the fight of his life, he will still be on the losing side! I feel Pacquiao is just the better fighter. Hatton will have his moments but Manny should be in command & eventually Hatton is going to get caught & get taken out!!!
I'm really worried about clash of heads. It also more likely to happen because of their fighting style.
not to point fingers man but Pacquiao always cuts his opponent wit headbutts.:-\Quote:

Typical problem for southpaw vs conventional, not just Pacquiao fights.Quote:

Mods, can any of you please sticky this thread?
I've gone for a Hatton TKO/KO - I just think that Pac is unproven at this weight and he is fighting the best that there is at the weight. Hatton is underrated by those who've seen his decline/cockiness (i.e. didn't think he had to keep doing what got him there) and that they'll be suprised by a very focussed and more round Hatton than they expect. Hatton will be all over Pac but with added intelligence - I see him as too strong for Manny.
I give Manny all the credit in the world for taking on ODLH - in the balls department, because he never knew Oscar would be that shot, but I'm not getting carried away with that win and expecting him to blow through Hatton (who isn't coming down to a weight he hasn't been at for years and years). Hindsight's a beautiful thing and I don't know why people don't want to apply it to the ODLH win.
And I'll be the first to congratulate Manny and his fans if he wins because this is a ballsy move for him.
Hatton TKO , RSF round 7
I had a dream that PAC catches Hatton cold and stops him in the first , so as i like both fighters , im going with that instinct.
PAC TKO/KO 1
for the record whoever wins its fine by me , both guys are warriors.
