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

[Gandalf]

Hahaha! Very funny!

And I see there was Leftylee and hattonthehammer giving me some support too.

bruce lee is the young shy girl.

Freddie Roach is quite the scribe.

Sends a tingle up the spine, so close to Freddie's prediction it's spooky. Just saved some cash on the cost of having to watch it though which was good. Does this mean we can start a thread on the result ?

If Pac stops Hatton in three I will colour my hair green!

The crowd is going crazy!

Pacquiao TKO3

The author here is a little lenient to hatton. That's too many body shot for hatton to land. I just don't see hatton being effective with the body shots. He'll be to open in the face if he try that.

I think Pac will dominate every rd. I agree with the cuts. I think it will be longer than 3. I stick with my original Rd 5 Prediction. I Predicted these way before Roach predicted rd 3. Pac will be generous to make this at least 5 rds of entertainment.

[Pacdbest2]

Roach has made silly predictions involving many of the fighters he has trained. And what is this about poor footwork? Are you serious or are you just repeating what Roach has said because you don't know what you are talking about? Hatton's footwork is one of his better qualities. He closes the gap just like that, his footwork is so quick that on occasion because he can sometimes smother his own work. But if anyone thinks Hattons footwork is poor then they are misguided and headed for a big shock come fight night.

You are underestimating Hatton big time. Expect Hatton to jab his way in and then whilst Manny is dealing with that, to be closing the gap with speedy footwork and then unloading while in close. In this position Hatton will use his strength and not allow Pac to get into a rhythm. As soon as a meaningful blow lands, I can see Pac fighting on the back foot more, and this is where the fight might play into Hatton's advantage.

Forget about Hatton's jab. It will not reach Pac's face. Hatton's 20" arms are too short compare to Pac's 25" Arms. Pac will land 2 jabs on hatton's face before Hatton can even throw his jab in the AIR. Before hatton can Close the gap, I'm sure he will eat those Power left from Pac. The only oway hatton can score points if he gets Dirty & wrestle Pac. Hatton's in a wrong sport. He needs to switch to MMA after this fight.

That's the mistake in what you are saying. Tyson had a reach disadvantage over most of his opponents. But he was still able to employ a good, hard jab. It wasn't to maintain distance, it was to hit the opponents head and use that split second to get closer and fire off combinations. Hatton will be doing just that in this fight. In close Hatton can wrestle, but he needs to work his way in close without leaving himself open. A sharp jab will be the key. Using movement Hatton can neutralise the reach disadvantage.

I really see the jab playing a significant part in this. It's nothing groundbreaking, just a move back to the basics.

You are wrong again in your analysis. Tyson was the shorter & the lesser reach than most of his opponent but he's way quicker & harder puncher than his opponents.

Pac has all the advantage of speed, Reach, Power, Chin, head movement etc. Hatton has only his Natural size only as his advantage But Pac demostrated already that size doesn't matter coz he has his amazing speed & Power.

Forget about hatton's Jab. It will not reach Pac.

PAC will wear red colored shorts on this Hatton fight and you know the reason why - PAC will draw blood from Hatton...

Pac groupies are so full of it.

May 2nd Pacquiao is going to get a nasty surprise. And he will never ever want to experience it again.

Pac might have the slight reach advantage but Hatton is good with his jab.It isnt all about reach its about timeing your shots and Hatton is good at timing his jab to land.

A few people are saying Pac has more experience they have both been in big fights but Pac has never fought at 140,ok he fought at 147 against a weight drawn ODLH that didnt throw back.He is fighting at 140 for the first time against the best in the division.So i would have Hatton the more experienced fighter because he has campained at 140 for most of his career.

Victor Ortiz is very classy guy. I love him.

[Chino]

I think Pac will dominate every rd

Coming from a Philipino AND a Pac fan...doesn't surprise me at all. Do you give Hatton at least the chance to leave the ring breathing?

Pac has all the advantage of speed, Reach, Power, Chin, head movement etc...Forget about hatton's Jab. It will not reach Pac.

Pac is just perfect, point blank. The word flaw/weakness does not exist in his dictionary, eh?

I find something positive about hardcore Pac fans. It makes the fight more exciting. I know for sure I will be on my feet the whole time.

Imagine how many threads we will see in this forum if Pac wins and how a new religion will come out to worship Pac.

Many considered Hatton as the man at 140 but remember PAC was the former man at 112, 126 and 130 divisions... Even this early some boxing rankings organizations already installed PAC as the man at 140!!

Which one would you prefer, a boxer who fights most of the time in one division only or a boxer who ruled several (3 or more) weight divisions? I think the later is the more versatile and skilled boxer...

Lol! He's using Moorer like some piece of towel.

Looks like Pac mixing it up lil' bit there. Switching to conventional stance. It's obviously just a propaganda vid. Playing mind games with Hatton camp. No way he'll switch stance eventhough he's an ambi.

He accidently hit Roach too in the face. My my, Pac is really that eager.
