we can't really take anything out of that video to be honest and thought Ricky looked quite quick myself. like someone said gonna have to wait for the 24/7 series to see more of the training camp.
I use 14oz Winning. I was gonna get 16's but not much difference and the price goes up by 30 bucks.
I don't think cost is an issue for either of them. :) I use Grant 16's.
Pacman has such a fluid style his punches just look so smooth and quick, whereas hatton looks more like a brawler (not a bad thing though). Gotta say hatton was throwing some mean looking body shots with his left. One of those and i think we can safely say that round is hattons.
Obviously Manny is gonna be faster, he's one of the fastest around but Hatton is no slouch, he might not have looked too fast there but it was a media session. There are videos where Ricky looks lvery very fast.
The power that man has is unreal though, those punches look like they come from a light hw! It is going to be a very good close fight, i can't wait!!!
hatton seems to have a lot more power than manny looking at those clips.
I was thinking this also. However, only when he loads up and I don't think he'll be able to load up too frequently in the later rounds as a result of punishment/exhaustion. I realize Hatton has solid stamina but fighting Manny is like climbing Everest. This should be a close fight. I hope it's not decided by Hatton's talent as a grappler.
Not sure I can agree. Manny looks a lot faster, but those punches don't seem to be any pitty pat speed taps. Manny's bringing power too along with Hatton.
LMAO at the arnold sig
The speed difference is definitely noticeable.
I think everyone knows that Pacquiao is faster than Hatton. Hatton isn't slow by any means but he's not gonna be quicker than Pacquiao and he knows it. Hattons edge is his strength and it should help bridge the gap between the speed differences.

if pac fights smart and uses his speed he will win. hatton needs to get close to land his shots because he tends to hook more, pac needs to fight in the centre of the ring where his speed will be effective.
