Final poll for the Pacquiaou: Hatton fight

[clintuk]

Totally ruling out either fighter in this match up just seems incredibly narrowminded to me. I'm going for Hatton to win, 7th rd KO. I know Pacquiao has more than enough to offer and it will be one of Hatton's toughest fights, but then, should be one of Manny's toughest fights too

and Hatton has enough movement to trouble Pacquiao, he's a strong small man and IMO can muscle around Pacquiao (he did it against Mayweather who's bigger than Pacquiao), Manny still doesn't fight very well on the back foot, and is very hittable with the right hand and uppercuts, Pacquiao's jab is a tapping jab, not a great one but it does it's job, keeps you distracted and allows him to work off of it with right hooks or the straight left, but he keeps his head straight up when jumping back, and i do mean jumping, Hatton can seriously capitalize on that, with lunging double hooks, first the body then the head, it's gonna be a close fight IMO but both have their advantages, i pick Hatton due to his natural strength and power

Good observations but we are forgetting a weakness from Hatton. Remember how he got connected vs Mayweather with the so called check hook? He is prone to that and can be seen in many of his fights. Jumping forward to do a left hook. That's something I am concerned of. Pac has a strong left and if Hatton jumps forward to do his leaping attack, it can be a bad idea. Hatton has knocked down opponents with that but he can also be connected. He kept chasing Mayweather around the ring only to receive straight rights to his face. I hope that is worked out in a way or the other with Mayweather Sr. in his corner. Remember the 24/7 video that I posted? Roach and Moorer were spot on when it came to an approach vs Hatton.

I'll root for Ricky. I like Pac but I want to see him loose so bad! Not by decision because that will have all hardcore PacFanBoys question the decision just like they totally agree with the outcomes of both Marquez fights and even question Morales first easy win. So I want a KO/TKO with Pac flat on his back. Once Pac loses, he'll have a Mexican fan right here rooting for him vs Mayweather, Cotto, etc.

When it comes to their mistakes and strengths, I somehow see Pac winning it no matter how much I don't want to.

he does lunge in carelessly at times, but Pacquiao is no Mayweather to connect a left hook when jumping back away from Hatton

You're right. Pac is no Mayweather for that and even less when it comes to defense. Reason why Pac comes out of his fights with cuts, bruises, blood all over the place, etc. Hatton is not a defense great either.

[:::PSL:::]

From now on, I'll just let Pacquiao and Hatton gloves do their talking inside the ring to find out who's the better fighter. All these jibber-jabbers, praisings, trash talks, media blah blah blahs are nothing to me but all hypes. We're almost there folks. I'm excited as you are and I can't wait too.

See y'all come May 3rd!
