Is anybody else having mixed emotions about the Hatton v Pacman fight>

I'm a big Pac fan and think that he will beat Hatton to the punch all night but i feel like his apparent strategy of staying at range and potshotting is not the right choice.

The swarmer usually beats the boxer. Pac is a good countepuncher but its not his MO. He'd be better off fighting fire with fire, which is his MO.

 

i got that same mixed feeling you got man one day im goin for Pacquiao, then the next day, Hatton, and back n forth...this usually happens to me when two brawlers go toe to toe cuz u dont know wat to expect...this will hopefully be an all out war and im hoping for a KO...as of now, im 50/50 between them both lol.

 

i agree but the times he's been KO is when he decides to fight fire with fire or be overly aggressive. man i cant wait for this fight lol

 

I think I tilted Hatton during the negotiations. That and I think he will be the bigger man in the ring. Not sure Pac can hold him off.

 

at this point i want paquiao to win ..:bbbbut im now like 50/50

 

Pac's speed and footwork should effectively cut Hatton to ribbons.

 

The more i think about it, the more I see that Hatton at 140 has the clear advantage over pacman.. Pac may be a different fighter but he's far from perfect. He looks lost when he's being backed up and when a rough fighter gets inside on him and smothers his punches, pac becomes a lost puppy. Pac doesn't have a good inside game and look for hatton to take advantage of that with his strength and his mauling style. Pac haven't been tested above 130 and he's going to get a rude awakening by a natural JW in hatton.

Im not going to make a prediction until fight night but i think pacman is in some deep ****.

 

Hattons punch resistance is gone and Pac will KO him within 4 if he tries. The only reason he looked good against Paulie was that Paulie can't punch and didn't throw. Lazcano almost had him out bigtime with the first really good punches he landed.

If this was the Hatton that beat Kostya Tszyu, then we'd have a fight on our hands. But it isn't, and there is a reason Roach is predicting an early KO. For the record, Pac within 4 has been my prediction since the moment this fight was brought up.
