Hatton body language is all wrong and he looks apprehensive & dare I say it, pensive

    To me, he doesn't have the demeanour of someone who's charging into a big fight with bags full of confidence. I don't like the things I'm seeing from him this week.

    I'm convinced he overcooked himself before the fight with that one. This time it's different, he looks more worried than anything else to me. Is anyone else seeing this or is it just me?

    he looks like he did against malignaggi... humble and deep down really confident in himself.....

    pent up frustration equals explosiveness !

    hes a fighter, he knows when hes stood next to pac what he has to do.. i see good signs from him, the body language between the two i see hatton being much to much for pac, i think pac will fall apart

    He look's pretty relaxed to me. Almost too relaxed.

    He just seems naturaly confident and does'nt have the nervous fire in him he had against Mayweather.

    Maybe he truely believes that he can bash the **** out of Pac.

    I don't think Hatton is convinced by Pac's win over De La Hoya at all tbh.

    Hatton at the presser today:


    "I think you've already made up your minds. That doesn't scare me. 'He's a fat, beer-drinking Englishman. He's overrated.' That's OK. I'll shock the world again. I understand that Manny is the best pound-for-pound, and I understand why I'd be the underdog, especially with his recent performances, like against Oscar [De La Hoya]. It's the 'Battle of East and West', but on Saturday, I'll see you all, and I'll see Manny, in the center of the ring."

    He's got more experience of fighting in that environment then pretty much any British fighter I can think of and has plenty to be confident about if training has gone as planned and he hasn't picked up swine flu or something.

    I wouldn't worry about the body language too much. Its one of those things that pundits project backwards with complete selectivity to explain why something happened or didn't happen.

    Mayweather got under his skin in the build up to their fight and uncharacteristiclly was wound right up for that fight, something he has learned from.
    Not that it changed the result imo. Hatton could fight mayweather 10 times with the same result. But Hatton wins on Sat night i am convinced of that.

    Same here mate.
    I like Pac and i like Hatton - i prefer Pac's style - but i want Hatton to win i think cos i feel he is the man at 140 and he is protecting his ***** at that weight - but then again i'd rather see Pacman v Floyd should that be the ultimate prize.

    :huh:huh
