Hatton's chin and how he'll be effected by Pacman's punching power

In my opinion....Hatton stops Manny rounds 4-6, The first few rounds will be hot and heavy. Once hatton starts to sit down on his punches they will hurt manny and more than likely stopped to the body.

Look at the body language of the fighters. Roach was shouting about a 3 round KO, then yesterday at the press conference he said that he would stop Hatton in the later rounds... quietly confident for the Oscar fight and over opinionated for this one (why the change)

Manny is an amazing fighter but Hatton will be too big and strong. His chin has been fine at light welter EXCEPT against Lazcano...when Hatton had a chest infection two weeks before the fight and was advised to pull out (by his trainer billy graham)

Manny could have had a baseball bat and an hour and he wasn't knocking Oscar down....Hatton will not let Manny tee off on hit like that.

 

So he doesn't have the one punch power and he won't have the time and space to just whack away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Exactly my point, and Manny has not been himself during this promotion he seems to beleive what Freddy is telling him and why wouldnt he especially after the DLH win, But now Freddy is saying otherwise, perhaps Manny sees this as well.

but the body language of Pacquiao is too similar to the first Morales fight and you dont want that going in with Hatton.

 

Hatton has a good chin at 140, where the fight is at, it's just when he's against fighters at 147 or those bigger than him that his chin looks a bit shakey from a big shot. He should be able to hang with Manny fine though.

 

People need to watch how many hard, clean, counter shots Mayweather landed in that fight. Those straight rights buckled Hatton's legs several times. There was also a check hook landed on Ricky a few seconds prior to the one that knocked him out.

Not saying his chin is good or glass, I'm just responding to the notion that Mayweather is feather fisted. Versus any 135 - 140lb fighter he was anything but.

Ricky was hurt bad agaisnt Collazo and Lazcano also hurt him. I think both fighters can hurt each ohter and a KO either way is not outside the realm of possibility.

 

honetly, i was saying this even way back before. Hatton was already ruined by mayweather so i got pac KO in 8. If you have been watching hatton after his fight with mayweather its clear he doesn't look like the hatton of old anymore

 

On that point... just saw another interview where roach has now said "I wouldn't be surprised if Manny wins by decision...Hatton's a tough guy."

Hope that he is giving Manny a continuous message in terms of game plan!!!!

 

Roach actually said on SKY today that he wouldn't be suprised if the fight went the distance.

 

Yeah!!!!!!

The fight would have to "go the distance" for Manny to win by a decision!!!!

If you look at my previous post.....

I said that Roach originally predicted a KO inside 3 rounds, then a late stoppage and then that Manny would win by a decision!!!

Why did you post why roach said today on sky???? that's my point. That his prediction for the fight (which he doesn't usually do) has changed three times in the build up.

 

I havn't listened to a word anyone has said about this fight tbh.

All the experts are talking bollox and contradicting themselves.

Roach and Floyd have badly tried to hype up the fight with unbelievable **** talk.

 

I really don't see Hatton's chin holding up in this fight he is going to get iced for sure.
But i think Hatton will make a hell of a fight out of it.

 

Totally agreed. I've been waiting for this fight for a VERY long time.

 

lmao

Roach has been all over the map. I've seen that as well.

 

Haha. Exactly what I was gonna say. I don't think Hatton's chin is glass though. But just the way FINITO comes in a says "yeah but that was a check hook" then explains, acting like he knew all about it and was a connoisseur of all things check hook. :rofl
