Pac looks like he's made for speed. Pac will outland Hatton 3-1 in this fight. Pac Ko Hatton in rd5 or less.

They both trained hard for this fight. Pacquiao won't weight more than 146 most likely around 144 after tipping the scale at 138. He tipped the sale for De la Hoya at 145 and 148.5 fight night. I'm not so sure about Hatton, He says 6 lbs is optimum but touts he'll come in heavy. I don't think he'll load up more the 150. If he's able to stay calm he'll get close to 150. If he is more nervous, I think he'll come in less than 148. I think if he tries to make an advantage out of the weight by loading up more than 150, he'll be to slow and it's too big of a tell that he's going for an early knock out.
Just my opinion.
My prediction, Pacquiao gets control of the fight by the end of the 5th, and he wins the fight by the 8th round. The fight starts out a little timid, but we see serious blows by the end of the first round. Hatton abandon's his jab by the 4th round with Mayweather shouting use your jab..... this is predicated by Hatton coming in at no more than 148, he comes in more than that it's anyone's fight to lose in the first 5 rounds of slug fest.
my thoughts exactly. i saw ricky and i thought they left him out in the nevada dessert to dry for about 8 hours. and he managed to get to 140. he really looked dehaydrated. that was usually the case for pac but i think pac grew into the 140's. i hope ricky gets back to fighting shape tomorrow to give us fans a good fight. good luck to both!
compare both pics and tell me if hatton is not gaunt

I never really realized how gigantic Pacquaio's head is, it almost looks superimposed on that picture compared to the rest of his body. Hatton looks as creepy as ever, a gaunty pasty alien.

"Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

Wow, Pac looks like the bigger man
I dunno if everyone's having the same saddo probs as I am cos' of all the traffic I guess or if no one has bothered posting yet but that seems odd! ... I'm probably not seeing the messages that have been done yet, but anyway, I digress...
..that was one of the most irritating fights I have seen!
I'm so gutted and yet the only thing that makes me feel any better is laughing at the ridiculous "gameplan" that Hatton had apparently been working on, and his new technical strengths, didn't see any of that.
Well done to Pacquiao though, looked great, and Hatton just isn't at world superstar level let's face it...Pacquiao is.
I look forward to seeing Manny beat the hell out of Mayweather Jnr though![]()
