Just got through watching the latest Hatton training video

Hatton being the stronger fighter will turn out to be a complete myth. Hattonites are making a big error thinking Hatton will bully Pac-Man around and rough him up.

 

Hatton is constantly moving to the wrong direction in this video. He needs to move to his left vs. a lefty but he moves to the direction of Pac's lead left all the time. Does Sr. know they're fighting a southpaw?

 

I have my concerns. I am hoping there are enough of you out there to close the gap so when I lay money down on Pac I can make more when he wins. I find it amazing, truly astonishing that people can overlook that Hatton was rescued two fights ago vs Lazcano and had a friendly ref. Would Lazcano have won without the sholace bail out? I don't know. But I do know that Hatton was utterly and completely bailed out of a seriously vulnerable moment.

It is an oversimplification to be sure, but its one I stand behind. Pacquaio will be giving Ricky sholeace moments long before Lazcano did, and there won't be any hometown officials to rescue Ricky.

Am I right? Yes I think so. Enought to bet what is for me a substantial amount of betting money.

On the other side you got a guy that took out DLH. I do buy the argument that DLH is over the hill but he can't be that much more over the hill than he was vs Forbes, where he did look vulnerable, and yes, it was at a lower weight, but he was getting destroyed from the get go. I don't believe his legs were gone from the get go as some do, and I still question the weigh in (meaning I question if he really was 145 and not higher). Or let me put it this way, I think that Pacquaio and the Roach strategy for the fight were major factors in taking out DLH.

We will see though. I like Pac by late TKO but I will take Pac "to win"

 

I have seen videos of Pacq getting outmuscled by flyweight, junior featherweight and lightweight sized opponents. If you get a hold of him and hit and clinch inside, (and do borderline illegal tactics) he will be vulnerable.

 

Thats my take on it. I'm not saying Pac can't win but he'll have to show more than he did in the Oscar and Diaz fights to do it. Some people are reading far too much into those fights IMHO.

 

I really think that Hatton will cause Manny all kinds of trouble...Hatton CAN pull the trigger,He is very fast himself(Watch the mallignagi fight),and he´s got a great left hook witch i think will be a mainfactor in this fight...and he is VERY busy on the inside,with he´s bodypunches.
Pacman is fighting an agressive fighter,I think it will be a great fight with both fighters going forward... and i think Hatton will win this one,after a close tough fight.
IF he can land he´s bodypunches,it will be very difficult for pacman,to keep he´s pace.
But there are still long time to prepare...so it will also be a factor IMO,who´s will have the best gameplan,and who´s got the best trainingcamp.
IMO,this is such a close fight that everything has to be 100% ....i just can´t wait to watch this fight.

 

this **** aint darts,Hatton is going to take a beating.

 

floyd already took a lot from hatton, i expect pac to beat him in 10 rounds

 

Actually i think Hatton`s loss to Mayweather showed him,that he needed to make some changes.
The fight against malignaggi showed a more relaxed,confident fighter.
Mayweather sr. is doing a great job with Lee beard.
So Hatton`s loss to mayweather did´nt took away anything else that he´s 0.
IMO hatton will come out stronger than before the Mayweather fight.

 

It's amusing how some people like to bring up how much the SINGLE fight with Floyd supposedly took so much out of Hatton. As if Pac's been taking it easy his whole career and was never involved in any wars himself :roll: GTFO with that ****.

As for my prediction on this fight, I'll wait until it's closer to May 2nd to throw in my 2 cents. I do think it's going to be A LOT closer than most people seem to think.
