    International Boxing Organization (IBO) Junior Welterweight Champion Ricky Hatton is confident he will knockout Manny Pacquiao at least midway into their 12-round title fight in Las Vegas on May 2.

    Hatton predicts a knockout between the sixth and 10th rounds. He said he is in top form to beat the best pound-for-pound fighter today.

    Both Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach and Top Rank Promotions boss Bob Arum similarly pronounced earlier the May 2 boxing showdown will not go the distance.

    Hatton is now on rigid training in Manchester under the watchful eye and supervision of Floyd Mayweather, Sr..

    He is not on strict diet, although he admits, he still needs to lose more pounds.

    Hatton is excited on their new game plan, which he calls “controlled aggression” to match the hand speed and fast footwork of Pacquiao.

    "We're both very aggressive fighters. I'll have to go for the knockout so," Hatton said. "I mean, you can never say never. I mean, the main thing is, I'm sure Manny would say the same, is that we win."

    Well of course he's predicting a KO if he doesn't have faith in his own ability we might aswell not have the fight.

    Id be worried if he didnt predict he was gonna win by KO. Everyone knows that this fight can go either way, and im sure pacquiao would predict that he is gonna KO hatton. This is the beuty of the sport, two great champions going at it.

    pretty much.

    :roll: i actually regret posting this **** but **** it.

    i guess what intrigued me was controlled agression and the fact that ricky admits that he still needs to lose more pounds. :lol:
