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

[zojo]

12 rounds of hugging ...

do you know aything else about boxing other than hugging?

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.

Yeah maybe.

But "I CAN FEEEEEEL IT"

Sorry.

After the fight, you can blame mayweather sr btw, thats if hatton loses.

Hearing these two talk tactics about the fight is crazy, I hope they are trying to lull pac into a false sense of security, because right now, Freddie Roach knows exactly what they are gonna try and do and he's had months to prepare pac for the same tactics.

All they will do for pac is emphasize on lateral movement, staying off the ropes and hitting on the move.

i'm nervous as ****.....i have two gut feelings one tells me ricky get destroyed....and the other one says he gives the performance of a lifetime, and shocks the world.....and if that happens my instinct has always felt ricky would win by points

I was nervous in the beginning. But the closer the fight gets the more I think Hatton is gonna blow him away. Pacquiao has never fought like he's gonna have to against Ricky, and he won't be comfortable one bit. Add to that, the fact that Ricky hits harder and is stronger than any of his previous opponents, then there's only gonna be one conclusion. A Hatton win by KO.

Manny will try to dance around the ring, but Ricky will hunt him down and slow him with shots to the body. Manny will then try to trade shots with Ricky and will come off second best.

ricky wont be coming in bull rushing....thats not ricky any more...hes still a bull but he wont rush in getting tagged....he will back pac up....and pac will back up....ricky cuts the ring off and you watch pac will land a few good right jabs early...and either in round 1 or 2....hatton will land a bomb.....and then were off and running...thats what i think....pac cant move and run in this fight for 12 rounds...and if he comes in and trys to pot shot hatton....hatton is going to tag him with hooks to the head and body....pac has a speed advateage but this is no david diaz the bum

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.

Your feeling is bad.

The De La Hoya fight is an illusion I'm telling you. Pacman will be uncomfortable with Ricky's tactics and his strength. When has Pacman ever been bodied up? I can't think of one time.

Ricky by crippling body shot. I could happen.

Tech, if I'm right I expect some praise from you. Because I'll give it to you, if you're right.

I also think Ricky's susceptibility to left straights will cost him the fight.

Good second post. Welcome to boxingscene. Some Green K to get you started.

... i mean hatton's an established monster at 140; this by NO means is a walk in the park for pac.

it shouldn't be shocking if hatton came out with the W.
