Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?

[Pacdbest2]

Here's my short analytic Prediction for this fight.

How the hell Hatton can close the Gap without taking bombs? Pac's arms are 5" longer than hatton. Pac has the better Jab... Ohh much better coz hatton actually was Virtually no Jab at all. On this fight Pac will use a lot of his Lead Left coz that punch will still be the longer & effective shot that hatton's Jab.

Now How can Hatton can close the Gap? His Jab won't help. hatton will use his head movement to get close to Pac. The Bad news ... Pac's footspeed is much Faster than Hatton. All Pac has to do is step Back & counter with Jab, Right Hook or lead left.

IN case Pac was caught in a Clinch, Pac was good in this situation. All you have to do is watch Pac-Velasquez. Pac can throw that Left uppercut hook even while Clinching. Pac also aware on what's coming & quick to move his head on one side to the other to avoid Punches during a Clinch.

The key in this fight is Pac's punch accuracy from the outside. Hatton's is way out of League in that Category. I see this fight going the way How Pac beat Lucero & David Diaz. Make Hatton miss then strafe him from the outside. We saw it in Pac's last 2 fights. He never let his opponent tie him up on the inside. Pac will have a Punch fest from the outside for this fight. Hatton's arms are way too short to Block Pac's avalanche of punches. Pac K0 rd 5.

Ricky Hatton's Hidden Advantage Over Manny Pacquiao

For fight fans, May 2nd is an eternity from now.

Many are consumed by the anticipation for that moment when Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton finally step into the ring to answer the opening bell. They touch gloves, and the brawl is on.

Predictions on the outcome are split down the middle. Both fighters are more or less evenly matched in size and reach. Pacquiao will have the edge in speed, Hatton will presumably have the edge in power, being at his natural weight and having taken on bigger opponents.

However, one distinct advantage that the Hitman will have over the Pacman is his “fighting style.” Manny Pacquiao all throughout his career has been a very clean fighter. He fights well and fights clean. In a fight this close that may be to his disadvantage.

Hatton on the other hand, is known to use every trick in the book to get one over his opponent. He will use his head (in more ways than one), shoulders, and land punches in places where they shouldn’t (just ask Kostya Tszyu). Hatton will push, clinch, get entangled and use rough-housing techniques that will blur the lines.

In a battle at close-quarters, this will serve him in good stead. Fighting close will also neutralize Pacquiao’s speed.

But Manny is not the world’s pound for pound best for nothing. He and Freddie Roach will come in with a solid game plan. They know that Pacquiao is most vulnerable at close-quarters. Vulnerable to Ricky’s rough-housing tactics and short stinging body punches.

Expect Manny to be quick on his feet and move out of harm’s way when Ricky rushes in. He must not even give Ricky a chance to play dirty and execute his game plan.

Recall that early in his career while campaigning as a super-bantamweight, Pacquiao struggled with a technical draw against Agapito Sanchez. Sanchez was not even a great fighter. Just an extremely dirty one.

In that fight, he used low blows and head-butts, with the fight stopped in the sixth rounds due to cuts suffered by Pacquiao. This is a classic example of how a dirty fighter can neutralize one who does not play that game.

Not to take anything away from Hatton who has more than proven to be an elite fighter, but his edge against Manny is that he does not hesitate to use “unconventional” tactics inside the ring when need be. He may just need everything in his armory if he is to take out Pacquiao.

Thats how I saw hattons chances.. Closing the distance, In fighting and roughing up Manny could slow him down frustratehim enough for hatton to do his damage... I know for sure that Pac will get his body busted up and we'll see how he can take that left to the liver repeatedly

Here's my short analytic Prediction for this fight.

How the hell Hatton can close the Gap without taking bombs? Pac's arms are 5" longer than hatton. Pac has the better Jab... Ohh much better coz hatton actually was Virtually no Jab at all. On this fight Pac will use a lot of his Lead Left coz that punch will still be the longer & effective shot that hatton's Jab.

Now How can Hatton can close the Gap? His Jab won't help. hatton will use his head movement to get close to Pac. The Bad news ... Pac's footspeed is much Faster than Hatton. All Pac has to do is step Back & counter with Jab, Right Hook or lead left.

IN case Pac was caught in a Clinch, Pac was good in this situation. All you have to do is watch Pac-Velasquez. Pac can throw that Left uppercut hook even while Clinching. Pac also aware on what's coming & quick to move his head on one side to the other to avoid Punches during a Clinch.

The key in this fight is Pac's punch accuracy from the outside. Hatton's is way out of League in that Category. I see this fight going the way How Pac beat Lucero & David Diaz. Make Hatton miss then strafe him from the outside. We saw it in Pac's last 2 fights. He never let his opponent tie him up on the inside. Pac will have a Punch fest from the outside for this fight. Hatton's arms are way too short to Block Pac's avalanche of punches. Pac K0 rd 5.

Are you saying he has 3 arms or that he holds and hits?

Hatton will use the following steps to close the gap.

Bringing back Pac KO loss when he was 17 was a wrong advice for Hatton. That was a Frail, Dehydrated & inexperienced Pac. Gauge them on their recent fights.

What's with "prefight fun"? This term is getting over-used here as convenient excuse for some way off postings... just like "inflict the worst beating"...

It's nice to see PAC showing great concern on Ricky (he looks like a little boy in this pic) after inflicting the worst beating ever on Ricky... There's nothing personal on it... It's only part of boxing...

[clintuk]

Pacquiao's a good guy, and you know whoever lost, either Ricky or Manny would check to see if the other was ok.

Although a very brutal loss, it contained 2 fighters who are proud and respectful, and with all the trash talking and bullcrap you see between other fighters all the time, I'm glad these guys are just as much themselves in the ring as they are out of it.

Happy for Pacquiao, sad for Hatton, but in the end, the better man won.

Well done Manny

Maybe have a darts rematch now? In the Philippines of course

link --> RICKY: I HAVEN'T STOPPED CRYING


RICKY HATTON has revealed he has not stopped crying since his brutal KO defeat by Manny Pacquiao.

Britain’s most popular fighter was due home from Las Vegas this morning but has decided to remain there until the weekend to ponder his ring future.

Hatton, 30, who is being comforted by his fiancée Jennifer Dooley, admitted how badly he has been affected, saying: “I am absolutely devastated. My head is in bits.

“I didn’t think I could cry any more than after the Floyd Mayweather Jnr loss but I certainly have.”

‘The Hitman’, who lost to Mayweather Jnr in December 2007, admitted his chances of defeating the Filipino were over when he suffered the first of three knockdowns in round one.

He added: “He knocked me down from practically the first punch he threw and I never recovered.

“Maybe if I had gone a few rounds I could have won but there was nothing I could do about it.

“Whatever I decide to do I am sorry but I won’t be making any rash decisions.”

Hatton, who plans a long-term career as a boxing promoter, is expected to announce his decision at the opening of his new gym in Hyde on Tuesday.

He says: “I have worked with a lot of promoters and I can become the best promoter in the world because I’ll do right by the fighters and that doesn’t always happen.”

Although Hatton insists he is undecided on whether to box again, the smart money is on a farewell fight in Manchester later this year, possibly against former WBO lightweight champion Michael Katsidis.

[LEGION]

Hey no shame in like a baby after that kind of defeat. Plenty of $$$ bills to wipe the tears away though. He'll really be crying if he gets knocked out in a farewell fight to Katsidis or Khan. I wish him well though.
