I base most of what I believe in boxing on facts, but for the Pac-Hatton fight I just have a gut feeling Hatton is going to win. The feeling started a few days ago, and now I really believe it.

I think if Ricky Hatton just pulls a Ricky Hatton against Pacman, he will win. I don't think Pacman has ever had to deal with anyone this strong physically, nevermind someone that uses his strength as one of his main assets. Hatton's handspeed is also good enough to keep Manny honest, which I think is why Pac looked so good against DLH.

Don't crucify me if you think I'm wrong, it's just a gut feeling.

However, if I'm going with facts and what I know, I guess I would just say this will be one of those fights where the winner is the one who can impose his style.

If Pacman is able to dart in and out, landing combinations, he will win.If Hatton is able to body Pacman up, and fight his fight, he will win. And I just think that Hatton is going to pull it off.

You heard it here first. Don't be shy to hammer me on this if it doesn't pan out.

That is what Pacquiao needs to win every fight. Thats why he's fought the same style of opponent his whole career. That's why he will have trouble in this fight, as Hatton is gonna be constantly in his face. And that's why Hatton will win.

Ricky will move to his right, try to jab his way in, get hit with the left hand, manny steps off, hatton repeats till he gets stopped.

He think he can get manny by making him fight off the back foot, thing is, manny aint gonna be there for him to hit after he lands that left.

You heard it here 1st.

I had a gut feeling before the Williams-Wright fight too, that Winky would get shutout. That happened. Even though I bet for Winky, in the days leading up to the fight, I lost confidence and saw Williams dominating.

Forget feelings, he's gonna employ the wrong tactics right away, 1st couple of rounds it will be close, thats hatton's best chance right there if he does his bull rushing, but the speed difference is gonna become very apparent, footwork and timing and cliniching wins the fight for hatton. He wont do it, he steam in head up thinking about the fight being at 140 and getting manny on the back foot.

He prolly wont even see the shots coming.

I'm getting that feeling, Hatton's going to win
