Pac by TKO...Hatton will try and come straight forward and that will be his wrong doing..Pac will stay side to side and punch and move..Pac is a faster and IMO more skilled fighter..He better not get caught to many times is the only thing that will mess Pacquio up in this fight! Pac by KO!
Hatton's assistant trainer Lee Beard: Hatton knocks out PacMan in 6! http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=18789&more=1
pac is better balanced, more disciplined, patient and makes far less mistakes now unlike the time he fought both morales and marquez the first time which was around 4-5 years ago. hatton should also make less mistakes under floyd sr. but this is only his 2nd fight under him so it is very possible that he will still revert back to his natural instincts and carelessly throw that lunging left hook and make other mistakes which were his downfall vs. mayweather.
Mayweather Sr.: Roach is overrated! A typical Floyd Sr. style interview, speaks on Roach being overrated, was inducted in the HOF only because of his sickness -(), info on his own health issues and that he'll join Hatton in the UK. So it seems Ricky will have a full 6-8-week training camp with Sr. http://fighthype.com/pages/content4330.html
Cotto is looking for the Hatton-Pacquiao winner! "If the Pacquaio-Hatton winner wants a fight I will fight them" - he said after the big victory over Jennings.
This content is protected This content is protected 6,000 fight fans, surprisingly about a third of them Filipino, turned out at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, England for a kick-off press conference for the May 2 ‘The East vs the West’ world title fight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky HAtton at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. “On May 2 I’ll be the new pound-for-pound king,” promised Hatton. “I’ve never been beaten at 10 stone (140lbs). This is my weight. This is where I do best. I promise all my fans I’ll win for Manchester!” Pacquiao wished Ricky good luck and stated “I’m going to win it for the Philippines. Ricky’s a very good fighter.” Pacman’s promoter Bob Arum promised victory “for all our Filipino brothers and sisters.” Manny will face Ricky in a darts competition at a pub in Manchester this afternoon.
As expected, Ricky Hatton was victorious over Manny Pacquiao in a game of darts on Saturday afternoon at the New Inn in Manchester, England. Playing a game of 501, “The Hitman” won in sixteen throws, nailing a double two to end it as the place went wild. Darts is a pro sport as well as a traditional pub game in the United Kingdom. After the match, Hatton presented Pacquiao with a Manchester City football jersey.
Haha. Manny got owned. In darts. They should have played at least a few racks of 9-ball pool. Lots of Filipinos like to play pool.
It's not a beauty contest, though. :yep If it was, both of them would surely be eliminated in the first round.
