pac's body shot was the key?

[nujabes77]

after that body shot, hatton was out of it

you can tell he was breathing very hard when he hit the floor. you usually dont breath hard when you get ktfo

Hatton went back to his old style because during training with ugly boy floyd sr he really couldnt understand what the hell he was saying and floyd just kept spitting on him when he was talking

Floyd, Sr. gave him sound advice, what you talking about?

Lets be right about it, Hatton was careless from 1 minute into the first round... great win by Pacquiao though...

He's careless in all his fights, he just never fought a fast power puncher that could do that to him.

I think the key to the money punch was when Pac settled down and started to go for precision with about 30 seconds to go in the 2nd round.

hatton was still wary about the punches until he got hit to the body i think

No, he's right, I think.
It wasn't as much about Hatton losing something, post-bodyshot.
It seemed to be that Pac shifted his emphasis back on accuracy. From the
opening of the 2nd round, he was trying too hard to finish Ricky off, and as
a result, Hatton was making up some ground, catching Manny solidly a couple
of times.

When Pac went back to the gameplan (setting up for real openings) the
KO came easily. But hey, JMO

left & right hooks did the job
