Anyone predicting Hatton UD Pac?

    I was just thinking about scenarios for this fight. And what I've thought up is that Hatton needs a KO if he is to win. If these guys fight 12 rounds, there is no way Hatton outscores him. Hatton's chances depend on landing that massive left hook to the body.

    Anybody think differently?

    I would just edge towards hatton for this one, pac is would be the smaller man and would be fighting hatton at his prime weight. I say if anyone is koed it's pac.

    ...all of which team Pacman are very aware. Hatton is a one or two trick pony. Pac will come up with a game plan to negate Hatton's strengths without too much fuss.

    of all possible outcomes, i think a ud for hatton has the lowest possibility. hatton is not a better boxer and i think pac is too fast for fim and would connect more punches. i do think however that hatton pac's the stronger punch and a ko win for him would be more likely than a UD. but then again if the fight is held in the uk, betting at hatton UD doesnt look bad at all.

    Im not but I dont subscribe to the idea that a certain fighter needs a KO to win a fight against someone who may be far more skilled.

    Hatton could hurt Pac early and bash him in every round until the final bell..Much like he was against Malignaggi.

    Wont happen though.

    if he gets a ref that allows him to constantly grab he has a chance if not hes going to get beat up.

    You speak with an air of certitude. Totally transformed? Why? Because he's got a new trainer?

    from one fight to another he will change from John Ruiz to Pernell Whitaker.

    It's gonna be a style clash no doubt....
    Whoever can establish themself first will win.

    Pac's speed Vs. Hatton's Aggression.
    The power will be about even IMO, the ability to take will be another factor.
    Manny's southpaw stance combined with Ricky's love of getting hit flush with anything coming from the left hand will be a problem for Hatton come fight night.

    It will be a great fight.
