Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?

[boxingbantz]

Although I think Pac will probably win I think it will be a close fight and I certainly don't think it will be an ODLH performance from Pac.

Blind faith at it's best.

I remember I was out night before the fight (broadcasts over here at 4am obviously) and my mum's fella (who was out) had been sucked into the hype. Actually thought Hatton was going to knock him out. Bearing in mind his boxing knowledge is, lets say, limited, I corrected him and said Hatton was going to get knocked out. He refused to believe and even offered to bet me £50. I turned it down flat saying it really wasn't fair. He kept insisting, I kept turning it down until I got bored of him goading me into betting him so we shook on it.

Come 5am, Hatton is out in 2 and I am £50 richer. The look on his face was priceless. Didn't wanna take it but after all the noise he was making, it was only right I did. That's the only time I will ever get evens when betting on Pac Man.

not so sure mate... when that fight was announced i thought fuck me Hatton is taking the piss fighting this little guy.

Hatton was a great body puncher and that to me was/is Manny's biggest weakness.

it was a mismatch IMHO when announced.... then by the time of the build up i really saw this as a lot closer than i first thought, it was a pick em for me before the bell rang but thought Manny's speed was the key.

hindsight is a great thing.... just ask the EX Jeff Lacy fans

To think he was the favourite going into the fight aswell.

Well, I was expecting a prime hatton to show up.

Not an exhausted shadow of his former self.

I'm a big Hatton fan but I never fancied this. I had friends around for the fight, and I warned them Hatton would get murdered. I just didn't fancy he'd cope with an extremely fast southpaw. I said it'd be stopped within 5 rounds. Didn't think it would be as quick as it was though.

If Hatton stays on his feet for 12 rounds he will look the worst he ever has after a fight. I imagine Hatton will get knocked out long before that happens.

Receiving the merciful KO in early rounds probably more humane than what Cotto and Margarito endured . But the thing though is, it's kinda embarassing getting KOed like that. So I'd rather be bloody mess and lose by stoppage in late rounds. I think Hatton would've prefer that too.

I reckon Hatton takes him late.

9th round TKO - body shot.

Agreed. Hatton looks ready and rejuvenated under Floyd Sr. This isn't a zombie De La Hoya.
We all know Pac has been ko by body shots before. So my money is on Hatton by body shot.

Exactly. Floyd Sr even wrote a poem. He's confident.

And this is how confident Hatton is in that fight ....
