Sure Pac is the favorite for good reasons.....but some of the stuff i'm reading is very funny......hatton is already counted out becasue.....
a. there was some problems between the trainer and other camp members.....what did you expect.....hatton and floyd, sr. were boxings odd couple to begin with....not everything is going to be perfect in just there second camp togetehr.....but based on this some think its a death nail in the coffin for ricky.
b. this one i find even more ridiculous, hatton is dehydrated like oscar, and will lose the fight because of this...... come on guys, this is the lineal champ of the jr. welterweight division for the past 4 years, and all of a sudden he has weight issues....yea right......he looks exactly the same as he always does for weigh-ins.....pac looked great at the weigh-in dont discredit your own guy, but saying hatton was weight drained.
Supposedly hatton shouldn't even show up because of these reasons......if pac wins, it was becasue he executed his gamplan and found ways to win the fight, and I will tip my hat to him, if he does so. However, if Hatton wins all these matters will be just a footnote......
let the guys decided it in the ring.
I think for this fight it's different though. He looked alot more ripped and gaunt in the face for the Diaz weigh-in and needed that rehydration. For this weigh in he looks quite soft and his face is more full. Plus the fact he was allowed to eat breakfast before the weigh in and still weigh in at 138lbs shows you that he doesn't need to gain as much weight this time round. At the most I would say he ways in at 147 - at the most..
I remember Pac complained to Freddie that he couldn't make 135 any longer. He looked gaunt at the Diaz weigh-in because that was 4 more pounds to lose than he did yesterday at 138. That means this time he had less poundage to drain from his normal fighting weight of 147-149 and that's the reason he looks fuller now, so yeah I expect him to rehydrate 10 pounds or more for this fight and be as heavy as he was against Oscar.
He shouldn't go lighter than when he fought Oscar because Hatton normally fights weighing around junior middleweight.
He weighed 147 coming into the Diaz fight. That's more than 12 lbs. from 134.5 lbs he weighed at the scales. Why would he come in only at around 145 when he is supposedly facing a bigger and stronger opponent this time who'll probably be in the mid 150's. That doesn't make any sense.
Most likely he'll come in as heavy as he did against De la Homo. For his part, Hatton would be wise not to go over 155.

LOL yeah right..
He looked half hydrated at 138lbs. He was allowed to eat breakfast and everything the morning of the weigh in and still only weighed 138.
You think he's gonna put on 11lbs+ by tonight and not come in too heavy???
He will add another 6lbs at the most like he does for the majority of his fights..

ahaha!
I want to see something like that... who would hang for dear life? is hanging on the post for dear life legal in any sort?
it is in pole vaulting!!! I just want a great fight, if Hatton wins its a big bonus though!
he's usually fair which i hope means he allows inside fighting, but not too much excessive holding. I dont want Pac being able to hang on for dear life when he's about to drop!! (heres hoping....)

boxrec just showed me that Bayless was ref in the Malignaggi fight...i don't remember much about that fight as I watched a replay and already knew the result.
should be interesting though.
i'm still contemplating whether to chuck a few hundred on a hatton stoppage...check out odds below.

OK just checked boxrec and it says Kenny Bayless.....he's not bad, although I don't remember him reffing a Hatton fight. Anybody know if Bayless will suit Hatton's style?

You can if you like.....that's mostly for the guys who make several bets all at once to keep track of how much they bet who.....and the guys with really bad memories.
Since this is all in good fun and i dont have any other bets i'll simply take your word for it.
thats nice and easy, suits a lazy got like me well!
this is the first bet i've made on here, do i just go into my profile and write this on my sig?
Hope its as good as i think it will be!

i just don't know how pacman is the favourite....how can the whole world be fooled by just one performance, that being the de la hoya win.
ask yourself prior the DLH fight: who would win between Pacman and Hatton - i believe 80% would have said Hatton.
I'm trying to find a good online betting site that i can put some big bucks on Hatton (maybe even stoppage).
I'm with you on that for the exact opposite reason. I made 3month's worth of rent betting on Pacquiao over delahoya. If only i could have gotten those kind of odds at this fight....i would have bet the farm on Pacquiao.
Sure. Deal. Good luck and enjoy the fight tomorow bud.:beerchug:
