On the flip side PACMAN will have to deal with a true 140 lb fighter with power in both hands. Hatton has a tremendous body attack and is relentless with his volume and pressure. He can use his jab to get inside and work his hand to the body and head with power hooks and upper cuts. PACMAN seems to be open to the counter hook as JMM proved in his fights with PACMAN. Hatton has to keep his hands up and pull back his punches quickly so not to get countered by the straight left. PACMAN loves to use use his jab and even when he was a 2 punch fighter jab straight left he out jabbed some of the more skllied fighter (Barrera , Morrales). PACS power was evident in the DIAZ fight at 135 and in the De La Hoya fight at 147. to me his biggest asset is his speed at 147 he had WW power and Feather Weight speed. His in and out attack and use of fast and furious combinations are none to smile at. hatton like I said before is no slouch and PAC will have to try to keep him outside. If HATTON can get inside he will change the fight.....Lefty
Another post full of accurate reading of what could happen in this fight.
When this fight was signed I thought it would be a walk in the park for Pacquio.As the fight draws closer I am beginning to think it could be the other way.I think Hatton has a very good chance of beating Pacquio and doing it in style.
Pacquio is a one style fighter.He comes in,gives shots gets out move sideways and so the thing goes on and on.Hatton is a tough kid wth good footwork himself.He is even better with Mayweather Sr in his corner.When he comes in he uses a left jab and I have my doubts Pacman will be able to deal with that.
I have seen Manny's strategy ,his only change now is to give a body shot first,go to the head,try to tie in Ricky a bit hit to the body and move out.
I have great respect for both fighters and I think this is a 50-50 fight and not a one sided fight many think it will be.
Does anyone else think we could witness some Pacqui bashing from Hatton
