HATTON v PACQUIAO

[The Fightfan]

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.

The new "Ricky Hatton"... It's all a ruse! Ain't no way Ricky will change. He might improve his defensive skills, move his head a bit more, and use his jab to get inside but the basics of who Hatton is, fighting on the inside getting to fighter by pressure is not going to change.

Pacquiao is in his prime and Hatton is on his way down... in more ways than one.

[JT Rock]

Hatton closes the distance better than anyone... Floyd is having him move his head more and re-acclamating him to more fluid combos and better defense...

hatton to jab his way in while moving his head and smothering-roughing pac up and on the inside using solid combos to the body and head...

Such a better way than Graham strapping on a belly bag and letting Hatton wail on him for 12 rounds.

People forget that JMM cut up pac pretty bad too in their fights and hatton will apply more pressure and throw more punches...

Hatton late TKO or razor thin desicion
