Hatton Heads To Vegas, Vows To Boss Pacquiao Around

[baracuda]

Did you even see the fight? Anyone with eyes could see that wasn't the same DLH as any of his previous fights. And why would he intentionally only put on 2lb between the weigh in and the fight, and come in lighter than Pacquiao, when he was expected to put around 15lb, and when his main advantage in the fight was supposed to be his size and weight? Obviously something went very wrong with the preparations, despite his millions.

And of course he said he was ready, before the fight - what did you expect him to say?

And don't forget that Valero said DLH's preparations were all wrong and that he would lose to Pac, based on his sparring sessions with him.

That's not an excuse for DLH. If he signed a contract to fight at a weight class he could no longer make without being weight drained, he has no one to blame but himself. If he screwed up his preparations despite having access to the best handlers in the world, he has no one to blame but himself. But the fact is that the version of DLH who fought Pac had deteriorated considerably compared to the version who fought Forbes - and even that version was a considerable decline over the version who fought Mayweather. You only need to have eyes to see that.

of course i saw the fight!although i agree that it was'nt the same oscar who fought tito ,the fight with pac was the same man againsts floyd,but pac just looked better beating him.i just could'nt believe that all those people around oscar could'nt see the problem regardless if it was.discrediting pac 4this is also discreting roaches prediction of the fight that oscar could'nt pull the trigger anymore and not any weight problems thats why he lost

so its a robbery then? what is it?.

Officially it's a draw. It was definitely a very close fight. Anyone who thinks one or other fighter should have been given a narrow decision is not being ridiculous. Anyone who claims it was a robbery is being silly, because no very close fight can ever be called a robbery. But it's not ridiculous to express an opinion that Marquez deserved to win (or for that matter, that Pac did, although a lot more experts gave it to Marquez than to Pac). As I said before, personally I think a draw was a fair result.

if hatton keeps on hugging pacman on may 2, ill definitely call him the number 1 pac nuthugger of all time.... literally

[poontango]

Pac's in deeper than he thinks for this fight. I see Ricky manhandling him and pulling out the win.
Pac's been in too soft for his last two fights to be prepared for what Hatton has planned for him.

Just for some info. DLH SUCKS!! He hasnt beat anybody good in 7 years, that was the easiest money I ever made. It wasnt no weight problems at all, he just sucks, how the hell did ppl really think he was gonna win, because of weight?? because he bigger?? its called boxing, and DLH hasnt been good at that for years. just a little info

the fight with pac was the same man againsts floyd,but pac just looked better beating him.

You're entitled to your opinion, but very few people would agree with that statement.

Pac is always gonna be speedy, but I would say that he did lose some of his speed against DLH. I admit he fought great, but anyone would look good against a dehydrated, past prime fighter.

hatton:i would've beaten oscar better than manny did.would've,coul've did'nt.taking credit 4 something he did'nt do just to discredit somebody,very annoying. imo,he could'nt even beat zab how can he beat dlh

Officially it's a draw.

Well, OFFICIALLY its not a draw, but OFFICIALLY its a win for the PACMAN. anyone who thinks he doesn't deserve it are only hating.

You're entitled to your opinion, but very few people would agree with that statement.

very few,like who?larry merchant,jim lampley,steward and harold lederman maybe or all those boxing writers who voted packy 4 his latest award maybe!
