Hatton looked more tense, nervous, under pressure

    IMO he folded a bit in the Mayweather fight, like the magnitude of the event overwhelmed him.

    I have a sizable bet on him, and I didn't like him at the weigh in. He again looks overwhelmed. Pac is smiling and loose, Hatton seems stiff and mechanical. Looking around, no strong eye contact, a bit squeamish and closed off body language. Quick to leave the stage, leave the moment.

    This is all probably meaningless, but still makes me uncomfortable.

    How was he quick to leave the stage?

    He did an interview after the weigh in on the stage...

    I think he was trying to do the oppoiste of the last major weigh-in v Mayweather. This time he looked more focused to me.

    Hatton looked dehydrated and malnourished. If you think this guy isn't confident you're clueless.

    my bad, he came back on, I thought it was over.

    He looked better in that brief speech, maybe he got some food and drink in him in those few minutes.

    Still, I liked Pac's body language more than Hatton's.

    It's easy to read too much into things at weigh-ins, manny looked impressively relaxed, i was pleased to see Hatton showing less addrenalin than the Floyd weigh in. Crazy that 25000 brits have gone over, the arena only holds 16000 i think!

    Manny looked at Hatton like "we are still friends right?"

    then Manny exiting speech was "You never know what going to happen I do my best Pray for us." :lol:

    Manny looked like he was at a Christian bible camp. I'd have liked a little more edge off of him.

    I think a lot of Brits will start to follow Pac after this, you can't not like him.

    That was funny, Pac trying to stay buddies during the staredown.

    I'd say Hatton had trouble making weight. Notice he barely moved his arms or flexed, and was stiff and hurried to end the interview, probably to get some food and water.

    Pac definitely can make 135, Hatton can't go an ounce below 140. Hopefully he comes in strong tomorrow, not another weight-drained debacle.
