just re-watched Hatton vs. Pacquiao

[Gandalf]

notice a lot of things this time around, Ricky fought a very dumb first round, and Manny was a lot more composed in the first, Ricky fought a better round in the 2nd and did use the jab a bit, someone had said that Ricky didn't rock him and he stepped on his foot, watched that point over 10 times and don't see it, it was a solid impact shot and Manny was rocked a bit, also the way he reacts afterwards leads you to believe that as well, he got careless and stumbles (not so much from the shot) into the ropes, he gets his composure back and circles out, then did something i didn't like at all really, he does a half clinch but is far enough that he could whack Ricky with uppers, didn't like that at all really and he does it in other fights as well, but in his defense Hatton did throw some shots at the back of the head, all in all a good win for Manny, the way Hatton hit the canvass reminded me a bit of Jones Vs Johnson, nasty impact

Hatton was garbage. I didn't see one legal punch that he landed clearly.

Hatton was so wide open, it was embarrasing. Head movement? I saw it once in round two. Defence? I saw it once in round two. His head was static for around 90% of the fight. What was he thinking of? I can only assume he thought, "I can take his punches, I'm just going to walk through them".

Ridiculously bad tactics.

It was shockingly poor on Hattons part. Manny deserves credit because he went out there and performed as he should. We can't really say the same of Hatton. A shame really.

Still completely gobsmacked about how tactically naive hatton was and how he did every possible thing he could do wrong to lose it.

I suspect once you got caught flush on with an overhand right 30 seconds in you instantly go into survival mode for the rest of the round. But after a good minute to recover he just went back to the same old tactics of lunging in and getting tagged on EVERY single occasion.

Spent 3 months telling everyone how as long as hatton got through the 1st 4 rounds he`d win it. Within 30 seconds i knew straight off the bat that wasnt going to happen!!!

When the hell was Pacquiao rocked? I don't know what fight you were watching, Pacquiao was rocked in round 2 against Marquez or against Oscar Larios, but not against Hatton.

Pacquiao was rocked by a short left hook in the second round, and funny how i'm not the only one saying it, it's not like i'm saying that Hatton hurt him so bad that Manny was in any type of danger, but he did stagger him, by the way Larios rocked Manny in the 3rd, and Marquez in the 6th (first fight)

Hatton was garbage. I didn't see one legal punch that he landed clearly.

agreed, Ricky fought a horrible fight, but he did land a very nice short left hook on the inside, aside from that it was all Pacquiao

There is nothing Ricky could have done to win the fight, he just doesn't bring enough to the table.

saying Hatton brings nothing to the table basically discredit's Manny's win, it's not lessening Pacquiao's performance by saying that Hatton fought a shit fight, and it's the damned truth, no denying it, Manny fought the fight he was supposed to, that's the difference

exactly what i'm saying, people think all of a sudden if you say Hatton fought a ridiculously dumb fight that it somehow discredits Manny's win, it doesn't, it's just a fact and a part of the fight, Manny was able to perform better against a top level opponant than Hatton was, simple as that

larios caught pac good! you can see pac fade err black out for a split second. but so far pac has a solid chin, he took a couple of hard punches from diff opponents but not enough to say that pac has a glass chin.

hatton tagged him but that was it, all great boxers gets caught by a good punch, its boxing you get hit all the time.pac got hit and reacted quick by hitting back 10 times more.


then did something i didn't like at all really, he does a half clinch but is far enough that he could whack Ricky with uppers, didn't like that at all really and he does it in other fights as well


i think roach told him to do that whenever hatton tries to clinch and punch him. maybe just to show that pac can do the same thing to hatton.

i'm not saying that Pacquiao has a glass chin at all, even with Hatton rocking him, that's a naturally bigger man rocking him, and i said it also that he wasn't seriously hurt or in danger or anything, and also not trying to imply that Pac was fighting dirty, just didn't like it, and he's done it before

i get what ur saying bro, it was an issue here a couple of months back that pacs chin is a suspect. thats all

[mnmc10]

you know if a boxer felt the punch when like pac he brings his gloves together then eggs his opponent to throw some more. or if the boxer who got punched reacted like he wasnt hurt at all clear indication that he FELT it.


on that fight pac felt hattons punches but he wasnt rocked by it.
