Anyones POV change after watching 1st 24/7?

[KRITKL]

I always knew Pac had a speed advantage, we still don't know if he can take a punch at 140, he might crumble the first time hatton lands. There are many intaqngibles to this fight, its one of those fights you have to go with gut instinct and mine says hatton is winning this fight.

After hatton lands his 1st solid punch we'll know the answer, but what if pac doesn't collapse. Then whats hattons plan.

[ACHlLLES]

Nope, they can show less of pacquiao at his best and show ricky at his best and I still favor pacquiao. These shows can't hide the truth, they basically purposely try to make the fight look closer then it really is.

[KRITKL]

Nah, I always thought Pac would win.

I thought the same thing, I think it just might be eaiser then expected.

I agree about Pac's sparring partners. They need a big strong guy who will tie pac up and not let his hands go, and see how pac can adjust to that. I really don't see how hattons jab is going to help him that much, his arms are to short. It might help disrupt pac rythm but he has to land it. Moorer I don't know whats up with him, seem like he was making some good points.

well hatton is used to fighting guys with a huge reach advantage on him...maginaggi had a 71 to hattons 65....hes done this his whole carear...and pac is only 67'.....i dont see this a huge factor...i think roach is gettin pac ready and well conditioned....but they seem to totally be mishandling hatton as fighter imo

You guys have to remember that sparring partners are NEVER that good. They're meant to be bad but not too bad, good but not too good..you want the fighter to get used to throwing punches on a person and get confident letting the hands go. If you're ****** rich like Oscar, you might get Shane Mosley to act as a sparring partner but thats about it..

Hatton has really improved, he used to just rush in when attacking, I think that made the difference in the Malignaggi fight. He was using his jab and then workin his offense. This will be key against Pacquiao...

Who he will have an obvious size advantage against, and that will be the matchup. Speed and movement of Pac vs. the Size and intensity of Hatton.

There's no way this will be a bad fight.

i still think its a competitive fight...i agree that pac has a clear speed advantage...but i think hatton will develop his jab more...and michael moorer is a joke of a trainer....and whats up with pac's sparring partners...those guys didnt do anything except come forward and cover up and let pac just hit them as if they were a punching bag....roach clearly thinks hatton is shot or something

I was impressed with Hatton's overall appearance as he looked a little overweight (2-5 lbs maybe) but seems to be really motivated. It is the fact that Hatton is getting tagged a lot while sparring apparently while none of Pacquiao's sparring partners are even able to touch him- that is alarming.
I still think that Pac-man will end up beating Hatton but I think it may go a little longer than I first thought. Hatton still fades in the long run and by rd 10, his face starts to fall apart with a stoppage in the 11th or 12th or a KO for Pacquiao.

Agreed, they tried to hide the truth in DLH-Pacquiao, anybody who knows fighters could see it. B-Hop even said, "Oscar got a lot of people doubting him, he's gonna be the underdog"......meanwhile he was the popular favorite going into the fight, he was supposed to be too big, etc.

I agree with u,there is this doubt that has crepped into the back of my head about Pacman being able to handle Hitmans aggressive way of fighting,I just keep picturing Hatton roughing Manny up and just bullyin him to the final bell,or watching Manny implode and get ko'd!!I think people forget Hatton has owned 140 with an iron fist!!

True, hatton and Sr might be also be mishandling what to expect out of pac also. I think they're putting to much on the size differnce. Hatton is the bigger guy, but they seem to think they can just get by picking off some of pacs punches. What happens after 6 rds of pac hitting hatton 4-1 when he's getting inside and that big punching power advantage their expecting isn't their.

I agree that hatton improved in the Malignaggi fight, but Pac is a differnt animal. Paulie is a slick boxer who slips punches, while pac moves in and out. Hatton could let his hands go because he didn't have to worry what was coming back at him. I don't think he can fight pac like how he fought Paulie. For sure it will be a great fight. You got two exciting fighters.
