Hatton will be taking punches in a more solid way than Oscar was, if that makes any sense. David Diaz is a very tough guy. I believe Pac has more power at this higher weight and like Roach says, was drained even at 135 for that fight despite the great performance. Oscar, much unlike Hatton, has stood up to shots from Fernando Vargas and caught a big shot from Mayorga too as well as a host of other fighers much larger than Pac. And he would have been knocked out shortly, that is why he quit.
Mayweather is more defensively oriented than Pacquiao. Pac, if he needs to, can get out of trouble. Ricky has to either hold or get bailed out by a Manchester ref. Second option is out. I think if he is hurt and tries to hold on when really hurt like he did against Lazcano in two separate rounds than he will be finished off. Honestly, I have been surprised at how little talk of the Lazcano fight there is. The only other performance since he was being KO'd by Floyd is the Paulie fight. It was a very good Hatton performance and I respect what Paulie can do but he has a bad hand and zero power. I respect the toughness of Hatton but he eats a lot of shots to impose his style. I think the fight ends during that first imposition of Hatton's, in the first round, during the "eating Pacquiao hooks to get inside" phase. Hatton won't be able to Plan B it. He isn't JMM. If a completely fresh Pacquiao hurts him he is going to be finished off rapidly. He could even be just slightly stunned, but this isn't Juan Lazcano. A slightly stunned Hatton can turn into minced meat. Pacquiao KO Round one. You saw my other bets I covered my ass. But I like this KO prop and I am standing by it.
I got Hatton -- smothering - hugging - mauling & brawling -- with cuts from headbuts playing a part as well ---- if adjudged as unintentional buts or from punches - I then have Hatton winning TKO in round 7...:smoke
I know that everything can happen in a fight,BUT to think that Pac will KO Hatton in round 1 or 2,will only happen if Hattton sudenly gets blind...IMO. I THINK Ricky Hatton will stop Pacman between round 6-8.Maybe even in the later rounds. BUT i think Hatton will stop Pacman... This fight is one of this years fights that really give me the good old feeling back,where you know you something spectacular can happen! It´s GREAT for boxing and for us fans that these fights still comes...I JUST CAN´T WAIT..
pac will not ko hatton in the first 2 rounds lmfao hatton has faced far harder punchers, and taken severe punishment off them, if pac does win by ko, it will be in the last 4 or 5 rounds, and i actually think a pac win by KO is the least likely result, pac can with through a decision, but if there is a knockout i think it will be hattons
Pacman was´nt able to KO a ODLH who didn´t counterpunch,didn´t move....Just taking punches rounds after rounds...IF Pacman KO Hatton in round one,then i will :desk
kiss that $990 goodbye! man if you actually bet that money you are either stupidly rich from some sort of inheritance fund, or someone with below average intelligence..... and considering you predicting a KO 1 for pac, i`m guessing probably both..... that could possibly be the most ******ed bet i`ve seen!you may win, but to bet that much on this fight, with odds that bad, is ridiculous!
The oscar that fought pacman? I could've beaten him and i have never boxed. David diaz? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE... Hatton might lose but i see him hurting pacman and might even put him down. The media have put pacman on a pedestal and it's not his fault. Hopefully he can win this fight but hatton is no slouch and he did well with floyd till he got frustrated with ref and floyd took advantage of it.
