    AHAHAHA! He does fight like a mexican with his commitment to working the body. I think that is why he is so successful given how technically flawed he has shown to be in the past. It will be a good fight!

    Hatton should come out with his Manchester Mexican attire. Pacman will add a white Mexican to his resume.:yep

    Lara is a 154lbs beast.

    I doubt Hatton would do good against him.

    Oh sh*t! Never seen HD youtube clips... :good

    Well, I was hoping for links to articles or something. Never meant to imply that sparring is anything more than just sparring. I just miss the old days of Doug Fischer covering the Wild Card and half of L.A's gyms. He cut through all of the "so and so kayoed with sixteen ounce gloves!" BS...

    Nah, Rigondeaux is :hi:


    I think both guys sparring sessions seems questionable, Pacquiao is sparring against small guys whose styles are nothing like Hatton's, and Hatton is sparring a guy whose probably destroying Hatton's confidence with every second they are in the ring with each other.

    If Lara is pulling those moves with Hatton, Hatton will have gotten some great preparation.

    I wonder if Floyd and Roach checks out youtube as much as we do, its like the Raiders giving out their playbook to all the other teams.

    Or how funny would it be if the only guy that actually gets Pac is a white boy pretending to be a Mexican...eitherway there's enough irony here he should do it!

    How about I add to that...whose he training with who is actually a 140 or 147 lb fighter?

    Man, some of you guys are dumb.

    1. The original post was asking if anyone could varify the rumour and quote their sources. No one has done that. Instead you all start banging on about about how Hatton is getting his ass kicked and going to lose the fight.

    2. Sparring IS NOT A REAL FIGHT. Hatton wont be going into every sparring session with the intention of just winning at all costs. He is with a new trainer and will be working out new moves in both offence and defence. He will be doing things that are unatural to him, things he hasn't mastered yet. He will have to iron out the creases in the ring with a guy putting him under pressure and trying to exploit any mistake he makes. That is the purpose of sparring, it's practice. That is why it doesn't count on your record.
