horse ****.

no disrespect to paulie but his powder puff ass didnt stand a chance at hurting or even containing hattons aggression. yeah ricky showed some signs of improvement but lets not over it now. no pop = no respect and even the old ricky could have steamrolled princess paulie. EASILY.

What Floyd did successfully was to get Hatton to fight in the way that he did in his WBU days..... see the Ray Oliveira fight for the best example of the way he fought against Paulie (though Tackie and Phillips were better displays) - plus using his jab and right hand.

From the Castillo fight onwards he became too much in love with his heavy left hand.... not sure why because his straight right his hard to pick up.

He was also helped by an opponent who seemed to be constantly setting him up for the checkhook all night long, seemingly unable to put any space between himself and Hatton throughout the fight, which was over as a contest in the 2nd round.

I still can't pick a winner from this fight.... ask me in a week or two!

Agreed with both. To me, Hatton/Malignaggi tells me about as much as Pacquiao/De La Hoya. Nothing.

I know what you mean. He's Mr. Intangible. I can see him winning too of course.

For me though; Pacquiao, somehow, has to do it coming forward. Roach knows they can explode on Hatton all day. Only problem is; Hatton closes the distance at high speed. Manny isn't naturally inclined to deal with that very well - which leads me back to the beginning. In other words; the only problem is; Manny.

and those punches look like in the inside/mid fighting range.

They'll probably use a bit more of that, and a bit less of his signature jab-straights.

Team Pacquiao sure did make good use of those left and right hooks, didnt they?

He looked like the same old Ricky to me. I guess Roach was wrong. Haha.
