This isnt a prediction . But there are some really similar faults from both Margarito and Hatton which I know will be exploited by the very best. 1. Both come in very square. 2. When the jab in thrown the right hand drops slightly and the chin comes up. 3. Neither can fight when going backwards. 4. Both punch wide , rather than down the middle. 5. The further into the fight less and less head movement. 6. The right hand is telegraphed and again the left hand drops. These are points Tony has got past due to his will and great chin , but I think he can be countered all night, and could be in for a painful experience come saturday night.
but pacquiao is also easy to hit lunges when he throws powershots and if the fight isnt goin his way he can go a bit power punch crazy without setting them up....nobodys perfect
I think Margarito will put on calmer pressure, what I mean is Hatton came out all guns blazing and panicked when he got caught and got dissorganised quickly. Cotto lost his cool when Pac caught him too. Margo doesnt lose his cool so easily even when he gets hit with a good shot, against Cotto he was eating leather but kept to his gameplan and wore Cotto down. Im not saying hes gonna win but I dont think hes gonna sprint head first into lefts like Ricky did and get blown away. I think he will keep his cool and probably get slowly battered. I hope he give Manny a real test though
Nice post, all good points! It's good to see people putting some thought into things like this instead of just saying Pac had a bad camp, Marg is gonna smash him! I appreciate good analysis like this.
lol...and they say he will beat Pac...LMAO....you think Roach don't see this PLUS more that a vet like himself can expose with a fighter like Pac? :rofl My money is moreso on Roach than Pac because i know Roach will have a game plan as he has shown time and time again with Pac that puts him in the perfect position to not only win but dominate. Its crazy Pac has beaten far more skilled fighters than Margo and he got all this praise top 10 or 15 ATG, crazy skills, speed, angles, all this superman talk....then all of a sudden Margo can beat him? Dont get me wrong yes Margo has a chance but so does any fighter..there is always a chance.....but the likely hood of Margo beating pac....nope! Pac WIDE UD
Hatton fought one of the most stupidest fights that has been witnessed in recent years. Its seemed like he actually thought he could just stand in front of Pac, take 5-6 shots to land his one and stop him that way. It was horrendous and nothing like he should and could have fought. Marg fight in the same way as Hatton did in that fight however he is durable enough to take some Pacquiao bombs and hopefully land a few of his own to make in interesting. It should be such a dominant victory for Manny but I can see some big rocky moments somewhere in the fight.
if most boxers can hit you hard as they hit the bag your going to go out margos big like oscar so it wont be immiedeate but it will happen
