I have £10 on Hatton in rounds 4-6!!!!!!! that's 130 back, not too shabby, Pac won't last past 8!!!!!!!!!
So how does that work? What if he KO's him in round 10? You lose the whole 200? I've never bet on boxing before (not counting friendly bets)
It wasn't 6-9 it was 7-9 @ +500 odds. Good luck to you man. I can certainly see the scenario you betted playing out. Anything can happen. Im so excited for this. I just went by roach who, being serious said it won't go past 10.
The better bet would have been rounds 10 - 12. But if hatton loses Ihaev a feeling it will be by KO. I think for some reason he's got it in his head in every fight that he has to walk through whatever the other guy throws at him. But thats not going to serve him well here.
Fair play...Roach is an excellent tactician and trainer. But the thing that worries me is the fact that with the Hopkins/Calzaghe fight ..he made no accurate prediction With the Oscar fight and the Khan fight he stayed away from making predictions!!! It's strange that early on he said that manny would stop him in 3 rounds, then that Hatton wouldn't last past 8 (or 10) and on Sky sports news he said that Hatton was a tough guy and that he could see it going the distance!!!! I've pointed this out on a few threads now.... why the changes!!!!
Was thinking about that but I really put alot of weight on what roach says. He was messing around when he said 3 rounds but was serious when he said it will go under 10. I also watched Hatton's last fights and Pacquiao's last fights and it just looked like night and day with the intensity and speed between the 2 fighters. I could be wrong because in reviewing their fights, Hatton has really good timing and feet not to mention power. I don't see these experts who say Hatton doesn't have power. The man can hit.
Man don't say that... I just put my money in!!!!! But honestly I go by what roach says with Pacman. He has been on the money the last 2 fights and I am not about to not listen to him on this. But I can see it going the distance as well. Like I said anything can happen but I went with my gut in the end. It was really more of a gut feeling and my gut went with roach.
