This fight was actually being talked about shortly after PAcman beat Diaz. I always thought it was an easy fight for Pacman. Hatton had been looking worse and worse in every fight, he didn't impress me against Lazcano, refuses to lead with his jab, looks to wrestle too much and never moves his head or defend.
I saw this fight as being very one sided for Manny who is a southpaw, won't stand still for hatton to wrestle with, will move in and out and throw lightning fast flurries upstairs - a area hatton doesn't seem to commit himself to defending.
It was an easy pick then, but hatton imo will prove alot of people wrong under Floyd Sr's tutelage. If he can prove he isn't the same hatton who was noticeably on his decline, then it will be a great fight.
