Two things. Manny took his opponent's punches well last May 2nd. And I wish I could say the same thing with Hatton.
Hatton was outclassed in every department - plain and simple. We're gonna see similar thing with Wlad-Haye.

Manny took them well in the fact that he recouperated, no denying he felt the left hook and was rocked by it, i'm not saying he was seriously hurt, cause he wasn't but he was rocked, it shouldn't be any surprise either, Larios rocked the shit out of Pacquiao and he's a Super Bantamweight at most, and anyone would have gone down at the last shot, i'm not favoring anyone in Wlad-Haye, IMO Klitschko's gonna win and easy, but i could give a fuck less who wins, same thing that was going on for the Hatton-Pacquiao fight
the difference with Cotto is he was killing himself to make weight at 140 against a natural 140 lb fighter, not like Manny who was still comfortably making 130 and getting rocked by a guy who had jumped up from 122 lbs, Torres is considered one of the hardest hitters in his weight class so no, not really the same thing
Pac and his team did their homework just fine training for Pac's leaping attacks. Watch all KOs and you'll see how Pac is just waiting with eyes wide open looking for any sign that Hatton would leap-attack and KABOOM! Hatton would go down until the very last one.
You might be right. Remember the one where Hatton goes down and falls with his hands on the mat. He telegraphed a left hook as he went forward and down he went. Then the last one going forward with a punch to Pac's body and down he went again. I'll watch the KOs again since most video sites are blocked here in the office.
He trained for Hattons giveaway that he was gonna throw a left hook by pivoting and cocking it back. Something Roach touched on, so it was easy to time, whenever Hatton cocks that left back like that, he is coming the other way with a left hook, and Pacquiao knew this and caught him as a counter to it. Of course Mayweather knew it first and caught him with the check left hook for it all night![]()
I've watched it four times and just saw it again and still don't see where Manny was rocked.
How much time was left in the round when this happened cause I don't see it.
