      What is it called when Pacman eats the fruit? Is there a name for that? Thats what that punch should be called if there is a name for it.

        well of course some fighters are better with their cross or overhand than with their hooks.

        julian jackson , earnie shavers and joe louis' right hands were not ordinary right hands though.

        but generally speaking the hook is more the ko punch than the cross or overhand.

              look closely at ricky's face in this slo-mo angle...right before the killshot....ricky realizes that he's just about to get caught and its too late

                He looked like he puckered up a bit there. Also what was up with the HBO camera man pointing at manny to go down and kneel in his corner. You could see manny saw him pointing and reacted to it right away.

                  he braced himself for a body punch and left himself open to the head.

                  i think manny confused him.

                  manny started that punch like an overhand and since he was bent over , ricky thought he was throwing to the body.

                  manny didn't turn his fist over though and instead followed it through more like a hook or hookercut.

                    yup...if you watch that fight again, in the last 20-30 seconds, PAC lands a nasty right hook to the ribs that instanly drops ricky's elbow lower...great set up for that overhand left

                      eaner09 was there and he said it was security tellin manny to get down because of hatton's condition...those guys wigged out when ricky lay motionless and breathing like a fish out of water
