HATTON v PACQUIAO

[HattonTheHammer]

25/1 sounds good to me!

i managed to get in early a few weeks back and get a score on hatton in the 8th at 33s!!

Hatton will cut him down for a late rounds stoppage. I've spoken enough over the previous months so will leave it at that.

[Fenster]

If my life depended on it i'd pick Pac. But I have a feeling this is Hatton's fight.

Hatton will be stronger than anyone Pac has faced and will hit him harder. Pac can be hurt, especially to the body, which has to give Hatton great confidence.

I think his problem will be handling Pac's power early doors, IF he gets through that, I think he can force Pac back and mow him over for a stoppage win.

Can't wait.

Same here mate...gonna wake my step son up at 3am (He's 7 and is a mini Hatton in the making)

Just hope the ref let's Ricky fight in close and unleash those body shots - which i agree could be Key in slowing down Pac.

This could all hinge on the ref you know!

I havn't put forth a prediction for this fight in any other thread, and still don't know which way to swing... When I lean towards one for certain reasons, I look to the other and see equally strong reasons for their winning...

Of course, when the first gets 5 rounds in, the way it is going might make us say, "duh, why wasn't it this obvious that the fight would go this way". A bit like DLH Pac, it made a lot of sense on the night the way Pac handled him, but up until the fight how could you know...

I think anything could happen in this fight which is the exciting part.. Will be cracking while it lasts..

I'll predict though that if it goes 12 rounds, it'll be a Hatton win with 7 or 8 rounds....

all i could say is that i think it will be a great fight.my worry for manny is that how he would react in a rough fight.. and my worry for ricky is how long his face will hold up against manny? his faced looked like this when paulie barely touched him.

If all the bragging pronouncements of Mayweather Sr. will be followed,and HATTON decides to follow to the letter his trainers strategies;Then this fight will be a WATERFRONT LIKE BRAWL. Yes not a bar brawl ,not an ordinary brawl...This will be a brute force brawl.

If this happens.....Then the brawler will be hit with lots of crisp spearlike punches coming from all directions ,thrown with finesse by a well condition ASIAN MARQUEE of a boxer.Lots of power punches ,the brawler will absorved that will result in a TATOO OF BOXING GLOVES IN HIS FACE.

I guess you know who the brawler and the finesse boxer are.

My two cents..
