HATTON v PACQUIAO

[XaduBoxer]

This fight definitely has the old pulse racing , even more so than when Ricky fought Mayweather.
It has all the potential to be a barn stormer of a fight , and i hope it is , for boxings sake.
I have to be honest i like Hatton alot , and i also admire PACMAN , both are very good examples of what boxing is all about , good guys outside the right , classy in defeat , warriors inside the ropes.

I really cant pick a winner . So as i said in an earlier thread , i had a dream that after a wild early exchanged PACMAN catches Ricky cold , and TKO's him in the first found.

I hope I'm wrong and its the classic we all think it could be.

I wasnt a million miles out , well done to PACMAN.

You and Coach Roach are off by a round...

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 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.

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

Yep,there's no doute this is the fight of the year for sure,but its soo tight to judge who'll win and what will happen throughout the fight.Me heart keeps yelling out "Hatton" but my theory side of mind says "Manny".I do see Hatton sustaining a cut or two throughout the bout and Mannys refexes will give Hatton soo much trouble.There's no doute that Hatton will have to walk on loads of shots from Manny before he can unload his trademark body shots!

I cant wait for this slug fest of a fight.I've been waiting for this fight for years.

For some reason I'm thinking one guy's gonna fairly well dominate

Like maybe Hatton gets in his chest and mauls him, Pac's inside fighting is a bit of an unknown

Or Pac is able to use his legs to stay out of range a bit and catch him coming in, just won't be able to miss with the left and will bust him up, plus he may turn out to be stronger than Hatton and people think

I'll go with Pac. Wouldn't be that surprised by anything though.

As the Asians would say : "Yah SAME SAME"; me too mate.

I be going for Ricky though as I consider he is the underdog in this.
If Ricky dominates early I'll be screaming for Pac to pick his game up, visa versa best possible fight is what I want to see .

[hfahrenheit]

i'm picking Hatton in this one--cards or late stoppage.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I'll make this quick...

Love Hatton... Love how he bullys and Roughs up...

Pac's superior boxing and speed will wake Hatton up and Hatton will be shocked at how hard Pac hits for a small man...

That is all

[jon09]

After seeing the weigh in I gotta go with Manny by stoppage on cuts over the Hitman.

A few hours from now the epic battle between PACQUIAO VS. HATTON will commence.It is expected that millions of fans all over will be watching this much awaited rumble between two of the most celebrated boxers in the world.24/7 made a fantastic documentary of the fight,very fitting indeed was the show,it added more excitement and anticipation for the fight.In the weigh in alone ,thousands of screaming fans were present to witness the activity.So enthralled were the fans that MGM GRAND HOTEL was roaring out loud.Basing on the pronouncements of the good looking emcee,the occasion was a record breaking one.Well,that is what MANNY and RICKY can bring....PANDEMONIUM!

In my mind this fight is the meeting of the best among the best,third world vs. a great nation,poor vs. the affluent,survivor vs.well sheltered,simple mind vs.cultured.But in my opinion ,these differences does not have bearing on the fight.What matters is the hungry fighter will make it.

This is a fight made in heaven.Nations thousands of miles apart,with fans of different cultures and environment will be inside a venue cheering,jeering together or against each other.Hoping everything will turn out positive for both the Britons and Filipino fans.Respect should be the key.

THE BETTER FIGHTER WILL WIN!GOD BLESS....GOOD LUCK TO MANNY AND RICKY.

The hungry one won.lol
