HATTON v PACQUIAO

[blegit]

I can not see Pacquiao stopping Hatton but I can not see Hatton winning this fight. Hatton fights straight forward and that is the worst way to fight Pacquiao. His team picks straight forward fighters because it fits his style. Hatton is bigger but not taller and he would have to go to the body to thwart Pac's movement and unorthodox punches. Hatton must go to the body and use his body strength to keep Pac where he wants him. He'll have hell trying to cut the ring off with Pac but he can outmuscle him and tear that body down. But I'm afraid we'll see the same ol' Hatton and that one is easy for Pac to figure out.

I am the King of predictions:

Tszyu KO8 Hatton; Lacy TKO10 Calzaghe; Hatton WU12 Mayweather and not forgetting Woods WU12 Tarver.

So I think you can take Paciquao TKO6 Hatton to any Icelandic bank you wish!

[Mark TKO]

I always put two bets on for these fights - only tenner nothing silly

And one is going to be Hatton in 9



The other is Hatton in round 2


I just have this feeling he's going to get him in close with a body shot and Manny won't be able to get up.

I really can't believe how many people are thinking Hatton by stoppage. I'm not complaining I just thought on this site there would be alot more Pac fans. Nobody has really thought who has Hatton fought with Pac's speed blended with combination punching. Sure Mayweather had blazing handspeed but he really didn't throw them type of combinations in his recent years. To top it off Pac is a southpaw nobody think's of the southpaw jinx? This will be an even bigger test than Mayweather for Hatton IMO.

Not far off what I predicted, all made perfect sense before the fights though

It always makes me laugh when I get a prediction wrong, I watch what's happening and say to myself "I fucking knew this would happen" of course I didn't, but you think you did.

hey kel.. ur sig.. the pic of hatton vs tszyu... it will kinda resemble what i think is going to happen on saturday but that left hook that tszyu caught hatton with.. it will be a long left cross that manny will land.. what do you think bro?

[Pavlik]

Hatton is naturally bigger than PAC, that's all that I'm worried about.

[ultraelectromagneticpunch]

Again... I think they are matched very well... The other has strength advantage and the other has speed... But, the advantage of both wasn't a mile distance... Both still can KO each other and both can move quick enough and possess also quick hands... It is just a matter of whos gonna execute their gameplan very well... If Pac sustains mid or long range fight, then he wins, if hatton will come inside then he wins... Hatton has a very slight advantage but still I dont put it that he will win right away... The advantage was very slight

[XaduBoxer]

Hatton thinks he's the stronger guy and unbeatable at 140... He will show this to PAC and will come forward most of the time to attack PAC... I think at first, PAC will sidesteps from the bulldozing Hatton and fire combos from the sides if there's an opportunity... On some occasion, I can see the patient PAC will try to meet the attacking Hatton with combos to the head and stopping Hatton on its tracks...

PAC will be PAC and if he can see an opening, he will also initiate his own attacks on Hatton either with right jabs/hooks or lead left straight... After the first 2 rounds, Hatton's face will be crimson red already from welts and cuts...

I think the fight will end inside 5 rounds..

PAC via TKO (cuts)....

[Memphis]

I've got Pac making Hatton look daft for a few rounds and bouncing punches off his bonce. Into the second half Ricky will drag him into a scrap and land a trademark body shot that will end the fight.

[KananKrus]

If Hatton's defense is his offense... he is in a dangerous fight. If he follows Senior, and boxes his way... then, he has a good chance to land his vaunted body shots.

Will it be enough to win the fight? Can Pacquiao tame the beast at 140?

Pacquiao by TKO before the 8th.

To win HATTON should employ all dirty tactics.headbutt won it for MORALES.Why not for him.lol

[Spicoli]

If I were Hattons trust,I would not try to 'box' Pacquiao,I think its the wrong fight to stand at range thinking it out,Pacs straight left and hand speed would eat him up.Ithink once hes clocked and feels it,he'll revert to battling inside earnestly.Hatton is pretty suseptible to left hands,Pac will be shooting straight shots against the wide shots of Hatton.

I think he'll absorb some shots and could be dropped early.I think Hattons game should be pressure,scuffling,body shots overtime and backing Manny,Just dont think Manny does well backing.Manny is a superb fighter but hes also no Mayweather on the back foot.Im picking Hatton by late round body shot stoppage.This all seems so very familiar

I wouldn't put it past him to smack Pac low if a round doesn't go his way. And so he should!

[The Congressman]

I think Hatton will bleed profuriously whether he wins this fight or not.
