    getting hit with a left hook from hatton and beaten to the punch every time he tried to throw had a lot to do with that.

    i'm amazed at how little of a chance hatton is being given for this fight by a lot of people, and hyping pac as some sort of superman with an impenetrable defence, iron chin, the power of tyson and the speed of roy jones.

    he's an excellent fighter and rightly deserves being p4p #1, but he's fighting at 140 against hatton and i think hattons too strong with too much power for pac. pac's punching power is being overrated at 140 and hatton will take 2 to land 1 and once the body punches start taking a toll, pac will slow down and hatton will finish him between rounds 6 and 10 making it look relatively easy.

    For as long as the fight lasted, Hatton seemed fully aware of Pacquiao's left hand, but like I said well before the fight that Pacquiao's right hand would play a huge factor in beating Hatton_

    The first knockdown was from a picture perfect right hook and then he was finished off with the left hand.

    Great fight from Manny Pacquiao, I was surprised to see it end so early_ I noticed that Ricky had went back to fighting like his old self ... it wasn't neccessary for him to fight like that, especially after looking so improved against Malignaggi _

    I know Malignaggi isn't a Pacquiao but at the same time _ he showed an improvement in his skillset.

    I'm not in the clear because I did pick Hatton to win the fight _ but I knew it was a high possibility that Pacquiao would win by KO.
