This is good enough so no one says Steward said he predicted it all along AFTER the fight. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/boxing/2009/05/01/steward-predicts-stoppage-100252-23519346/
I'm working for HBO doing ringside commentary for the fight and they've asked me to keep my opinions to myself until the fight, but I'll give you an exclusive for Liverpool." atsch
im not a famous trainer or anything.But i have said it for a while now,i THINK hatton will stop pacman between round 6-8...After a hard fight.
manny talks some amount of **** sometimes!! You should hear him hamming it up to the Irish audiences every time he's asked a question about Andy Lee..
Taking it with a grain of salt but yeah, even still. Someone here said that the rumors came outta the Philippines anyways. I'm sure Pac may have had issues in his camp with being even more popular this time and Roach telling the media that he gave Pac some days off because he doesn't want him to be overtrained. I'll stick with Hatton but could definently be wrong.
Just saw this up on the BBC and thought the comparison was a little interesting; TALE OF THE TAPE Pacquiao v Hatton 48-3-2 (36 KOs) R 45-1 (32 KOs) Southpaw Stance Orthodox 5ft 6.5in Height 5ft 7.5in 67in Reach 65in 38in Chest 37ins 41in Chest exp. 39in 13in Biceps 13in 12in Forearms 9.5in 28in Waist 30in 20in Thigh 20.5in 15in Calf 14.5in 16in Neck 15in 8in Wrist 7in 10ins Fist 11.5ins Funny cause they are pretty much even in most catagies...infact I was supprised to learn that Manny has larger chest then Hatton's (although hatton has a 2 inch wait width advantage. Manny has bigger Forams, bigger Calves, bigger Neck bigger wrists, a bigger chest and a longer reach then Hatton. My question is how close is manny really to his natural wieght and will you be suprised if Manny is nearly as strong as Hatton?
