I think brawling was his best and only option, he was never guna outbox him. But at this level you need to be a calculated brawler. He wasnt.

He couldnt afford to go in gung ho like hes done in the past, he needed to earn his way in and then go to work, we knew manny would get Hatton on the way in what ever he did but christ he made it easy for Pacman.

I just cant believe they didnt train with all that in mind, id accept that he tried to go in as safe as he could but still got the pasting but he was just wide open to it. If id known he was guna have his chin out like that, get clouted then leave it out again in the exact same way id of favoured Manny from the start.
