I'm afraid Ricky's gonna get his head rattled.

    I just watched Hatton fight PM again. It was just replayed on HBO.

    Paulie doesn't have the head and lateral movement of Pac and Ricky was still having difficulty executing accurate combinations when he rilly shouldn't have.

    Paulie doesn't have the speed of Pac and yet still managed to land more jabs on Hatton then should've rilly been landed.

    Now, I would like to see Hatton win this, so Brits take it easy on me.

    I'm just tellin' it how I see it. :bbb

    I agree, everyones been gushing over his performance in the Malignaggi fight, and it was really nothing special at all. He still looked like the same Ricky Hatton. Manny is going totally outclass him.

    Hatton is gonna get hit alot for sure but I believe so will Manny. It's gonna depend on who's gonna get hit more and who can withstand punishments.

    Yeah, footwork's gonna be a major factor in this fight and at the present, Manny's is just far superior.

    Now, I'll extend what little apology owed to Ricky's fans for talkin' what **** I am if I'm wrong, but I'm doubtful I'm gonna be.

    Again, I would very much like to see Hatton win this.

    I think this would be quite the defining victory for him.

    Add to that also, Pauli does not have the explosiveness to defend himself against Hatton. I think this will be mostly Pacman's defense, Hit em before he gets em. This fight will be explosive and mostly, it will be endurance and heart that will take the winner to victory.

    I've watched the fight twice in the past two days and I don't think you can really learn anything about Hatton from it. PM moved straight back the entire fight, usually while offering up little to no resistance. He was a sitting duck.

    I'm actually surprised it took Hatton that long to get PM out of there.

    You have a point here, but even if Ricky cuts Manny off, which he tends to do quite well, Manny rolls out of a pinned position quite well these days.

    I think Hatton's gonna hafta hit harder and more accurately than he ever has tomorrow night.

    Herman Ngoudjo and Hatton have something in common -- they both beat Malignaggi-- only Ngoudjo got robbed.
    Malignaggi also looked like crap in the Lovemore N'dou rematch.

    The point is, Paulie was a faded boxer when Hatton beat him. Cotto ruined him.
    There's nothing to gloat about in that win.

    Pacquiao is on another galaxy.
    Hatton won't know what hit him.

    You're probably on to sometin' on that PM dealio. He did alot better against Cotto than I thought he would though.

    Honest, I'd feel bad for Ricky if something like that happened again. What the hells the chance he'd hit a ring post again though?:think
