    an angle not dicussed on the pac/hat fight

    you know how most everyone including the scribes get blindsided every now and again and pick wrong.
    you know when something happens thats not forseen.
    well chavez over at bxgconfident brought this angle up.

    you know theres going to be plenty of inside fighting between these two.
    mannys a southpaw. hattons ortho.
    out of all the most recent fights there is a very good chance, especialy with these individuals styles that theres going to be a higher than usualy % that there could be an outcome changing Headbutt involved here.
    think about it.

    expound!

        Tbh, that is a possibility that has concerned me since the fight was announced.Its the only thing that could ruin this fight imo.

          I am sure Hatton will get cut at some point. Luckily however he is well used to this and has one of the best cutmen in the business (mick willaimson).

          Pacquiao panics slightly when cut so a clash of heads could realy worry him. I don't like to see any clash of heads as it always seems to ruin the fight, jus hope this one doesn't have to finish early because of something like that!!

              I agree they both like to come forward also which is what leads to clashes of heads (both usually come in very fast also).

                Hatton has the weaker facial tissue I say, so any headbutts should favor Manny.

                  yeah it seems very possible, with Hatton constantly sprinting in head first and Pacman is no doubt gonna want to come forward

                  what a let down it'd be if we had a Khan/Barrera scenario (without the dodginess)
