Prediction : Old Hatton coming to brawl

[happytrip]

Seriously ,based on the latest pronouncements of Mayweather Sr....."Ricky will KO pacquiao in 2 rounds"...."I dont see speed in Pacquiao,Where is his speed?"......"AMATUER"reffering to PAC.

I heard Mayweather saying this on his interview,flashed on Philippine tv.

Obviously,Hatton is going for a brawl vs. Manny.

IMO, THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR HATTON.....but who knows,they might have a good plan.

Goodluck!

Hatton will use a mixture of Brawl/Box for victory. When has Pacquiao fought anybody as ferocious as Hatton ? Never.

Judging from the reactions on this thread, Hatton coming to brawl is really a very BAD idea for Team Hatton...

And it's also widely accepted that there's no way Hatton can outbox PAC...

What will Hatton do now??
.

He can always get drunk before the fight and dull the pain a bit I love Ricky but that boy is going to get pummeled. I agree with DK Al, Hatton gets stopped early on; I'd be surprised if this goes to the 8th round.

brawl you say. What else is he gonna do? He sure ain't gonna outbox PAC.

So Hatton is going to be beaten up quicker than ever by a former lightweight.

You know, I'm just not seeing it somehow.

Neither of guys can fight backwards very well. So I guess it's a battle of strenght and power. I can see Ricky bulldozing, and Manny using his lateral movements to try and spin Ricky and land some.

Well, actually, Hatton can fight okay going backwards. It's not such an issue, and he should if he needs a moment. But Manny really doesn't have the lateral movement to avoid Hatton. That is where the cloud cuckoo land talk comes in.

Do you people really believe this shit?

After analizing HATTON'S situation.....I finally agree that Hatton should brawl with Pacquiao right from the opening bell.

He cant win if he box PACQUIAO,thru 12 rounds.He cant tire out Pacquiao,whatever he may do to tire PACQUIAO.HATTON WILL AGONIZE IF HE FIGHTS LIKE THIS.He is more likely to lose if he does this.

Perhaps,by BRAWLING from the opening bell,he might land a STATEMENT PUNCH,and may get an opportunity from there,to KO PACQUIAO.

IMO,THIS FIGHT WILL BE A BRAWL and wont last long.....maybe till round 5 only.

From my observations, Manny goes under and out against the rope when he think he's being trap, he spins his opponents around every after combo. Manny has modest lateral movements. He's been doing that for a while now. Ricky is a good pressure fighter. But you're right on the other thing, fighting backward is not really a big issue for Ricky coz Manny is the smaller guy.
