Agree, the fact it has all gone well for Pacman recently will be a telling factor if Hatton starts to get through, yes everyone says Hatton will eat the left, of course he will to a certain extent and as for getting marked up sure he will , he probably brusies drying his face with a towel!!
But the question for all the huggers is can you honestly state the Pacman works we on the back foot. He moves back bobs around and throws nothing until there's a break in the attack against him, with Hatton that break may be a while in coming.I've also noticed a few of Pacs fights where he doesn't listen real well to instructions from the corner.
Won't be surprised if it goes either way but I really think it will be Hatton's night and will be interesting if so to see how Pacman bounces back from a defeat at this stage in his career.
