Hatton was hurt twice before the first KD...

[iron lung]

I didn't buy the PPV, so I can't speak that intelligently on this, but my thought before fight-night was that Hatton only had a chance if he got inside quick and stayed there, inside Pacman's range (he seems to need room to throw those bombs). I'm guessing he did pretty much the opposite. Can you give me a quick synopsis if the fight?

Hatton just walks towards Pac with zero head movement zero defense, he holds his gloves at his chest or his waist, has absolutely zero defense, he gets hit clean by Pac at WILL, Pac lands about 65% of his power punches and constantly tags him with right hooks. Right hook after right hook hits Hatton's defenseless head clean until Pac finally unleashes the straight left and KTFO him.

One thing i noticed was Hatton eating a lot of left and right hooks.

Did anyone else notice that, or was it just me?

Yeh at 1.39 in the first round i did notice that
i showed the lads watching the fight and i was saying the very same thing

[skullduggery]

that left strait is the one that really killed him

Thanks for the playbook on the fight.

Yeah, it's a shame Hatton didn't come in with a better plan than what he did. He actually has the toolbox to beat Pacman (albeit a 2/1 shot), but I wondered whether he'd try and employ it. Guess I know the answer to that now.

Mayweather took Hatton's chin in the 10th round.

Even Freddie Roach said it himself, that Hatton was never the same after his destructive loss to Mayweather.

Lazcano exposed this, which is why Roach seized the opportunity after watching that fight.

yet you were predicting a Hatton win?

Morales 1, (easy boxing clinic he did to pac)
Marquez 1 and 2. (draw and SD loss, others have beaten Marquez by UD, and Diaz just had Marquez on ***** street for 5 rounds)

The only prime fighters Pac has faced (or "just" washed up slightly in the case of Morales) aside from the unprepared Barrera 1.

Hatton is bigger, stronger, fresher, and has a better trainer than all of those boxers. It will be too much for Pacquiao to overcome. He's too adjusted to fighting bums or shot fighters.

Doesn't anyone fight it VERY weird that the higher up he moves the easier his fights have become. If every boxer could be spoon fed bums and zombie fighters the way Pac is, we'd have about 20 p4p1 candidates. Marquez was the only decent fighter he's faced in years, and most people thought he lost. The more he moves up in weight the worst his competition gets. Hatton sticks out because he's hungry, has a fantastic trainer, in shape, in his prime weight, but more importantly NOT drained to ****, and not a senior citizen. This is too much for Pacquiao to handle and why I predict he will be defeated.

There are PLENTY of boxers who can go a draw and a SD controversial win over Marquez while beating that bum Diaz and corpse DLH. Nothing special at all. It's just Pac had Arum and Roach securing him these fights while other fighters get the back door.

The fraud express is about to crash on May 2nd!

Ricky looked nervous as hell to me ever since the weigh-in.

Funny, the Hatton fans said the same thing to Manny at their staredown. We even said that Manny was just being friendly and all ,but NO! They said Manny was nervous as ****! LMAO

If you watch in the first round,

When the clock is around 1:30 remaining, Hatton gets caught by a short right hook, then seems to buckle slightly and then grab Pacquiao.

Then, around 1:01 remaining, Pac lands a left hand which seems to leave Hattons legs a bit shakey. Just after this is when the first KD happened.

Just something I hadn't noticed anyone else say..

hatton was hurt like 5-6 times in the 1st round alone including the knockdowns.

hatton was boaring in, hands down chin up, he was roughing manny up and clinching alot to start the first round, then manny began timing him with those right hooks, stunned him with a few, then he timed him with a lovely right hook as hatton swung with a big left and down hatton went, hatton was in big trouble as manny backed him up and landed flurrries, manny landed a left that put hatton down in the corner, hatton saved by bell

second round hatton was in alot of trouble again, but then sort of looked to be finding his senses again as he steamed forward and threw a few punches but then manny landed that lovely left and...well yeah that was it
