He couldnt afford to go in gung ho like hes done in the past, he needed to earn his way in and then go to work, we knew manny would get Hatton on the way in what ever he did but christ he made it easy for Pacman.
I just cant believe they didnt train with all that in mind, id accept that he tried to go in as safe as he could but still got the pasting but he was just wide open to it. If id known he was guna have his chin out like that, get clouted then leave it out again in the exact same way id of favoured Manny from the start.
maybe you are right,but he should have charged on MANNY from an angle,not straightforward as he had done all the time...another approach is for him to be patient in boxing in and out of MANNY,and wait for the right instance to go all out.He landed several solid body blows,but he kept on pressing with his head open.You cant stay open for MANNY for 10 seconds.He will thug your head at any time.
I can sense HATTON disobeyed instructions from his corner.He simply does not have the capacity to adjust.To be frank about this,i can see BOXER oozing with so much pride in HATTON.Simply hardheaded......oppps sorry about this comment.
Nonito Donaire will soon be a name to reckon with...
