hatton would have stopped paulie by the mid rounds if he hadn't kept holding and ducking below waist level.
Slaughter?! What ****ing planet are you on mate? I am thorugh with debating it will disgruntled Yanks on this site. Cant wait to be the first 'I old you so' post on here come May 2nd.
I see this fight as either PAC TKO or Hatton TKO... whoever establishes their style first would win. although i lean towards pac coz of his speed and stlye.
Theres no point discussing anything Hatton on here, due to the Yanks not being able to even be slightly objective when it comes to the Hitman. This will be no walk over for either fighter. 1) Manny is not as unhittable as ppl say on here, he gets tagged often. 2) He is not a defensive master like PBF and can be dragged into a brawl. 3) were not sure how Manny will take getting hit by a big 140 fighter, Paulie did'nt look intrested after that big right hand in the 2nd... of course there is questions regarding Hatton as well, but the above points i thin k are being overlooked too much
We shall see. I have PAC by KO round 10. Too much speed, stamina and diversity for Hatton IMO. But I won't say it will be easy....at least not for the first 5 rounds. By the mid rounds PAC will begin to land lead punches....whatever he decides and take away Hatton's pressure by giving angles, jabbing to the head and body and circling keeping the fight in the center of the ring. I think Hatton wears down by 10 and Hatton never gets a REAL chance at getting to Pacs body b/c of the speed, talent and skill-set difference. But I will say Floyd Sr will have a game plan! i just don't think Hatton has the tools to implement it effectively.
let me re-iterate that while i pick pac, i do so with respect for what hatton can do and there is a thought at the back of my head that an upset is'nt impossible.
