What is tells us is that Pac really is the smaller man and that makes Hatton's style just that more important in this fight. If he can impose his size on Pac, back him up, and brawl with Pac on the inside the outcome of the fight looks good for him... but we'll see. Should be a good and competitive fight all the way through.
I don't see pacman being in the fight by the 5th, an this going only to seven,,,those bodyshots are going to be a big diffrence here,,,He ripped the **** out of paulie body, an i see this happening here, he did it to floyd, but the ref help hinder that,,,an that is not a excuse, i wouldn't mind pac to win, but he not, he going to be KTFO,,,,,,7th
138 lbs for Paquiao tells me he's going to have his running shoes on for the fight. I think that weight for Manny just showed the Hatton camp their playbook. .......Pacquiao is going to pull a DLH vs Trinidad and run for dear life. Hopefully he does'nt fully go DLH and actually does some punching in an effort to win rounds......instead of running in an effort to minimize exchanges. I'm predicting a low workrate for Pacquiao, which should make it interesting if it should go to the scorecards....... Will the judges do as they did in the JMM fight and give it to Pacquiao just as long as Pacquiao does'nt get completely dominated???? Stay tuned!
This is Ricky's natural weight but I'm wondering why he looks so awful in the weigh in pictures? He looks sunken and weight drained? Pac looks glowing and healthy. What's wrong with Hatton??
he is always like that, i agree he seems to have to work a lot harder to come in on the weight these days. the biggest laugh for me was Floyd mayweathers shirt i mean WTF was that????????
Dog I coudnt agree with your thread anymore and although im 50/50 on the fight im beginning to lean on Hattons side. I see this ending just like Taylor/Chavez, Margarito/Cotto and now Hatton/Pac.
He looks drained because he is drained......he dehydrated his body to make the 140 lbs limit.....as long as he weighs about 150 lbs in the ring tommorow, he should be good to go. .......a bad sign would be if at fight time, Hatton does a DLH and is outweighed by Pacquiao in the ring.
The weigh in tells us.......... Nothing. It's what we'll see in the ring tomorrow that will tell us everything. Can't wait!
I wonder if Ricky is hooked up to an IV as we speak? He looked like he was just released from a concentration camp.
As you age it wears on your body harder and harder to make weight. You can see Ricky being really drained. By now though he knows how to bring his body back. However, the problem for Ricky is he cant fight effectivly above 140 so his career is just about over. I do admit he looks pretty badly drained, worse than usual.
Pac has well entrenched muscles in the right places in this weigh in. Hatton looked emaciated. He needs to put in water to his body to blow up his body. Muscles vs Water? Take your pick. Pac will come up the ring stronger in this fight.
This is a sound basis for an excuse. This post should be bookmarked by Hattonites. It will come handy after the fight.
Hatton always looks bad at weigh ins. He usually looks worse as he has a big coldsore on his gob from crash dieting, that doesn't mean much. He has somewhere to go, Pac looked hydrated and comfortable, I don't see his plan involving putting much, if any weight on, it would just slow him down he's never gonna compete with Hatton sizewize. I think that the ODLH fight has shown Pac how he thinks he can beat Hatton but is wrong. And don't forget Pac got KO'd by a body shot by Singsurat who weighed 113lbs!!!!! As I say, you can do nothing to increase punch resistence to the body, not that much anyway. Hatton stoppped Castillo with a body shot, and that guy is as tough as they come. So Hatton to the body Rnd 7
For ****s sake, do you even watch boxing??? Muscles don't mean ****. If anything they are a hinderance they require shitloads of enery and oxygen to move them so they drain the tank. Look at Calzaghe V Lacy weigh in pics and tell me what you see. I see a huge, scary and heavily muscled monster that was about to get his ass handed to him by a pasty, immaciated weight drained beanpole. Hatton at WW looked awesome physically but faught like **** everytime he had the extra muscle on him. Same for Manny, this is a step too far against a real LWW IMO.
