    right?

    it took 2 min for Pacquiao to hurt Hatton and put him on panic mode with those leading right hooks.

    Hatton was completely unprepared for that type of plan.

    Same thing came up with Cotto post Margo.

    If you can't plant your feet, and if your target is countering you mercilessly, it's going to be some pretty damned uphill sledding trying to attack the body. A jab and control of distance are the keys.

    Going to the body sounds simple but it's easier said than done. From the opening bell, he couldn't deal with pacman's speed and was getting countered with quick and deadly combinations. Going to the body means that you're also leaving your head an open target and vulnerable to counters.

    This. Hearing his delusional ass talk about fighting for the PFP Title always made me sick to my stomach. His grotesque style isn't something you look to and say "PFP the best". Matter of fact, anybody who gets hit by a left hook, rams his own damn head into a ringpost and essentially KTFO out of himself has no business being PFP #1 or even PFP anything. Which is why I never considered him in a PFP list ever.

    Did anyone notice a very good right hook to the body that Pac landed on Ricky moments before the KO?

    Pac landed more to the body than Hatton.
