Not at all. Freddie even said Hatton is very durable. That he may try to box in the early rounds, but once Ricky gets hit he'll resort back to brawling Pacman...

Thats why you shouldn't drink and post.

As we saw in the Mayweather fight, Hattons constant pressure, takes away the speed advantage. However good technique brings Hattons downfall. Manny doesn't have a good technique.

Hatton TKO 8.

he has much better technique than hatton

Almost everyone has better technique than hatton.

Tzsyu, Castillio, even Malinaggi.

Pac should win though, hopefully it's close enough and entertaining enough to warrent a rematch in the UK.

roach is correct, once hatton gets tagged he will start to wrestle... not sure how freddie can prepare pac for something like that because pac doesnt really fight physical like that and hatton is too strong for pac.

only way pac can beat hatton is if the ref doesnt let hatton hold and hit and pac catches hatton charging in the same way that floyd did

Hatton will not get tired but will be busted up. I don't see him avoiding Pac's avalanche of punches. Hatton has a very short arms to effectively block Pac's assault.

Pac's footwork just improves a lot. Starting with the Morales 2 fight then Pac improve more against Diaz & DLH. The last time somebody got a Hold or Clinch against Pac was with hector Velasquez. Since then, Pac always initiate all the attacks & use his footwork efectively to get away from the Clinches.

Hatton can't box... I don't see him winning any rounds against Pac!! Roach said Rd 6th.. He's always off by one rd.... So I'll keep my rd 5 prediction!!!
