Pacquiao Hatton 24/7 Episode 2

[andalusian81]

maybe they are trying to hide their real training

Oh I never said Hatton wasnt serious, I know he wants this fight. But clearly it looks like Mayweather Sr. is teaching the basic fundamentals of boxing with Hatton rather then a fight strategy or strategy against a southpaw fighter. But your right maybe thats what they want us to see. Well see.

People, including Pac's team, are still going to wonder how much Floyd Sr. can really do for Hatton in such a short time. This is only the second fight they are together and even though Sr. seems to work fast with remolding his fighters, Hatton is going up against a polished Pacman who has been with Freddie Roach for a long time now.

Sr. basically said that Hatton couldn't even hit the pads right...WTF. However, Sr. has also has indicated that Hatton learns incredibly fast and has a sharp mind and he is surprised at how fast he has progressed.......so we'll see.

It's really hard to tell because like Jr., you only see Hatton hitting the pads and no sparring sessions. It's always, see Jr. hit the pads; see Jr. run; see Jr. talk some trash...but never see Jr. spar or talk strategy. Hatton's on the same pace so far...but we'll see next week.

You also have to consider that Sr. understands that the fundamentals are KEY to winning. And what did JMM have when he fought Pac? Great fundamentals. It's not like Hatton is starting from scratch where he has never been in a Pro fight. Sr. is just working on the flaws Hatton has, like he should.

But fundamentals late in a fighters career against a fighter who is no push over?

Sr is great tv. Mayweather family needs there own show and fast.

It was a great episode only parts i could complain about was listening to Hattons family. Please never let his parents or girl speak on 24/7 again. Thats valuable time that Sr could be using. That dude who lives at Wild Card is crazy. Having a knife fight with no knife is crazy.

He has no choice. If he doesn't, it will be the same old Hatton and what good is that for Sr?
The JAB is the key to everything. At least Sr. got Hatton working that again.
He has to get Hatton back to Pre-Tszyu Hatton and add some Mayweather to him.

Pac should be favored in this fight to be honest. Pac doesn't have to think when fighting and Hatton might catch himself thinking to much of what he has learned in the past weeks.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hatton is perfecting one or two special counter/combos that will be instinctual to make-up for short time he has with Sr.

For instance: If pac jumps in with the right-jab, left-cross....Hatton can take a step to his left and counter with a left-hook to the liver/body-shot followed by a left-hook to the head, right-cross combo. That's one example.

It's in interesting fight for sure.

Boxing personalities and that World is certainly interesting.

Boring episode. But damn! Pac keeps on brutalizing his sparring partners.

Looks like Roach is gonna retire in a couple of years or so. It's more likely his gonna pass his torch to Moorer,... or to that one-eye guy.
