Okay im on the fence about this fight. After going through the past 2 fights of both fighters (pac=DLh and D Diaz) and Hatton's (Lazcano and Malignaggi)
And seeing some improvement in both fighters, i will not be betting on this fight.
Pac has become a more complete fighter but i still see him getting off balance a bit when he lets his hands go, but is now using a lead left instead of a jab jab straight left.
A Southpaw of that stature is a challenge for any fighter.
Now The Hatton area
Hatton is himself a pressure fighter, but with the work of mayweather sr he may change his ways a bit and stick and move more till he can corner pac to lay a body attack. This is Hattons Bread and Jam.
To close to call
your predictions?
if hatton has picked up more of the punch slipping slick style that Mayweather Sr. will place on him i can see him pulling one out.
Both fighters are young and have energy for days, hell i can see this being a draw if it goes the full 12
Hatton by brutal KO somewhere in the 8-9-10 rounds.
Combination punctuated with a huge hook to send a bloodied Manny flying into the ropes with the ref calling it off.
Bang Bang
:boxing:
Tough one to call. I think if Hatton just comes straight at Pacquaio all night, then Pacman could pick him off, and possible stop the fight on cuts.
Could go either way in my opinion, but im gonna go with Hatton by late stoppage.
i see it several ways....if pac fights his style...pac by KO round 8-10
if hatton just bullys pac, and gets to him...hatton could have him done from 5-7
but i still see hatton by decision both guys have there moment but its more hatton's pace....
I think we could be surprised here, if Hatton gets too the body it'll be game over for the pac-man. It all depends on how quick Ricky is at slipping the punches, he looked good against Malinaggi so let's hope it continues
Lets hope so, just dont see it happening to be honest. It's gonna be a late night though no matter what happens. Anybody know when the next 24/ is?

Even though I'd love Ricky to win i just dont see it happening. Will most probably get caught with straight lefts on the way in for most of the early rounds, then Pacman will step it up around round 8 and get the stoppage.:hail:
