    Pacquiao was very impressive again, beating Hatton.
    With the apparent ease with which Pac beat Hatton, has anyone changed their opinion on DLH and the hydration/weight issues. Was DLH washed up or did Pac just make it look like it.

    I always said DLH was weight drained which affected his stamina. Regardless, that should kick in around the 6th round...Pac had him from the 1st round. DLH is never the pressure type fighter Hatton is so he wont close him, and his reflexes and speed were too far gone to deal with Pac from the outside. Pac demonstrated his slickness last night Oscar was having trouble with.

    It was no fluke. Oscar was past prime, but not much worse than when oscar fought PBF. Pac made it look easy.

    dlh was weight drained. it was no secret. even roach saw that... but it was also due to pac's speed and skills that made it look easy. and then.. there was a gameplan... the gameplan of the dlh fight was to hit and get out. it looked liked they were setting up a one-punch KO on this fight, and it did happen.
