Hatton's chin and brutal KO - Why?

Accumulated damage over the years, and as he's fought better guys he's shipped more punishment

I think Tszyu took a lot away from him personally

 

Because he landed a massive left hook square on the chin of an on rushing Hatton.

 

all of the above

 

I think his lifestyle has caught up with him.

He is a shop worn fighter, relied on physical attributes that were inevitabley going to decline.

Throw in the training camp fiasco, and the brilliance of Pac-Man and that pretty much covers it.

 

People have been saying Hattons chin is cracked after the evidence in the Lazcano fight. I spent time arguing against them that it wasn't - i'm not so sure now.

I thought there was a good chance that Pac may stop him from an accumulation of punches but never did I expect it from one single punch.

 

Looking through the options i'd say its abit of them all except the last one.

 

combination of shite defence and shite chin. He got rocked by guys like Magee and Vincent Phillips....banjoed badly by PBF and Pacman who have not taken anyone as brutally out like that for a very long time...if at all. Then there's Collazo, Lazcano.

 

he walked onto to them shots so they was double the power

 

I'd say a combination of the first three. Pacquiao clearly has carried his power up through the weights, combined with the fact Manny was just too fast for him and he was walking forward, hands down into these punches. All that equalled bad news for Hatton.

The first knockdown looked alot like the knockdown from the Mayweather fight, where Hatton lunged in and got caught by a counter, with him falling down face first.

 

I'm ****ing pissed off with seeing our lads getting KO'd all the time!!

Why do so many of our fighters have glass jaws?

 

I might be wrong but Bradley doesn't seem like much of a puncher, so I would still favour Hatton, although a points win for either doesn't seem that unlikely.

 

His punch resistance has deteriorated badly it seems, every punch seemed to have an effect.

He also looked nervous/scared almost, maybe thats why his defence was so awful and the gameplan was left in tatters

He hadn't filled out as much as i'd expected either he looked gaunt whilst Pac looked fit, confident and happy to be there.

Basically a mixture of all the options above.:verysad

 

i have always givin Bradley a chance in what would be a great fight. Bradley puts alot of pressure on throws alot of punches and has good technique with a decent defence.
Now i give him more of a chance (see below)

Bradley isnt much of a puncher but he has a hoorin overhand right that is pretty solid. A pointswin seems likely




My view on it is Bradley can us his better boxing ability to use an intelligent game plan to beat Hatton on points (cat be arsed goin into more detail as i could spend all day doing it)
