[BIG H]

Anyone know who the referee is for the fight cus I think its gunna make a big difference on what Hatton can get away with in the ring, lets hope it aint Cortez!!

Still cant decide whos gunna win this tho, my heart says Hatton but my head says Pacman, I feel just like I did when Hatton faught Mayweather.

It's Kenny Bayliss mate

It depends on the major unknown in this fight which is how much effect each guys punches has on the other. Pac is the better boxer and will land significantly more, however if he can't handle the bigger guys' punches he's in trouble.

I'd be seriously impressed if he were to stop Hatton as he doesn't seem to be the destructive puncher at the higher weight, he had to land at will on the second tier fighter in Diaz at Lightweight to get him out of there after probably near 200 flush shots landed, even if he has the same success against Hatton I'd expect him to still be there.

I really don't care who wins this fight. For once I am not picking sides and I can sit back and watch this fight unfold. I will be in Tampa the night of for a wedding. I was told they will play it were the reception is so I am very excited. With this being said I think Pacquaio by TKO. I don't like the fact Hatton is abandoning the style which got him there and would give Manny hell with that style. Now he wants to use speed,head movement and all the slick stuff. It will not work. Then he will get tired because he is not used to all the movement and eventually be a sitting duck for Manny.

Agree to a point TBH when Hatton´s backs against the wall he will revert to his old style guaranteed Can not wait for this

[Quinito]

Excuse me. But with all respects to Hatton...

I think this is gonna be another shut out win for Pacquiao. I'm with Legion. The longer the fight will take, the more suffering Hatton will receive.

Pac by 8 rd. stoppage.

Agreed he probably will revert back but what will he have left in the tank for that type of pressure. Either or I don't like all of this new Hatton stuff. It kind of reminds ya of Joe Frazier " we're coming back but with the right hand". Why when the old way was the ticket. Should be very exciting though I can't wait.

I'm intrigued about how FM's training is going to effect this fight, Hatton's strength and power are his natural trump cards for Manny.

Hatton is a solid 140 puncher (though no wrecking ball), yet that was when he put everything into his punches with that annoying little grunt of his. He doesn't put as much into it in his pad work with FM and I don't think he has the natural leverage to get power the way FM wants him to punch, so if he can't cause the damage he won't take the W IMO.

Hattons guna hit Pacquiao harder than anybody hes ever faced before and will be stronger than anybody hes faced before.

Hattons only once faced somebody with foootwork and speed as quick as Pacquaio's and he lost that fight.

I see Hatton getting a bit beaten up in this fight, hes easy to hit and he will be steaming forward making sure to not have a nice gap between them for Pacman to work in. Once in he will be the more dominant and i think he will wear Pacman down and im sure Roach will throw the towel in more than Pacquaio goin down for 10.

So Hatton will get a bit smashed in but will overcome it and break Pacman. Just please dont cut early.

My prediction: Hatton for 11th round stoppage if he bullys Pacquiao
