ok fellas..this is the official i will bump this after the fight prediction thread

[Lady Fan]

My crystal ball shows that poor Ricky is getting beaten up early in the fight. It looks like the Pacman is moving too fast for Ricky. Oops, Ricky is knocked-down and hurt. Referee Bayless says, "Enough is enough." The fight is over. It looks like round 2. JAT

[a-raines21]

pac ko 5-7. i have my doubts, but i did last time as well. so im standing by pac

[AntonTheMeh]

my prediction is pacquiao tko on cuts by the 10TH.
THEN AGAIN I HAVEN'T WON A ****ING BET IN AGES.

[- JCHING -]

Hatton KO 4-6.

Manny will struggle with Ricky's constant pressure, aggressiveness and strength from the offset and he will soon realise he don't belong with the big boys..

[Saiko]

I see it as a fifty/fifty fight - before it starts at least. But I need to have some balls - so I will go for Hatton KO round 8. He is best at this weight.

[IIG]

I think the only way Pac can win is on cuts. Assuming that doesn't happen, I like Hatton by KO somewhere around the 9th round.

[Google_It_Bitch]

I have already my choice and my prediction which is posted just above my sigi.
:fight:
I know it's a bold prediction but if I am right?
:yeha:

Nice one. I think there's defo some Hatton fans who are sitting on the fence on this one simply because they don't want to be wrong.

[mathed]

I think Pac will be able to take the shots Ricky hits him with and get's a UD.

I think it will be either a ud for Pac or he tko's Ricky in rds 10-12

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

I'm giving Manny a 61.3% chance of winning. But I promise I won't come back to the forum after (if) he wins and start blowing myself about how right I was when I really said I wasn't sure who would win.



Seriously, though. Pacquiao. There's a case for Hatton if the variables were a little more in his favor and with a quick start, but, this isn't the MEN anymore, the referee should be attentive at his job, the punch-resistance isn't quite what it was, and the strategy he tries to follow will mislead him into a poor opening. After he starts badly and realizes this guy has movement and tricks on him, that he isn't out-timing or out-maneuvering ****, he's going to be in 2 minds, Pac will have the headstart and will get the extension he needs on his punches frequently enough to get Hatton ready for a brutal kill around 8, 9 or 10. And it won't be all about the left-cross either, Manny will bring out shots Hatton isn't going to see coming.

Pacquiao T/KO RD 8-10.
