so much for the 'new and improved' ricky hatton?

I thought he had a chance or would do alot better than he did

I knew there wasn't any major improvment in his style,and he was never going to be the next PBF but I thought Mayweather sr would have taught him to use his jab more and add a few feints into his game, although i put a bet on Manny to win in the 6th ...... Couldn't he have carried him for a few more rounds :twisted:

 

If Ricky was ever going to beat Pac he had to be eating Pac punches at some time or other.... well pretty much all night. He simply couldn't even take a few of them...

It's odd to see a fighter who always used his chin as a defence... has eaten countless bombs... just go out like that to couple of punches from a fighter from smaller weights.

 

Truly amazing.

On a boxing site too.

 

The bombs he took from Kosta Tzsyu and Mayweather must have taken something out of him.

Happens....

(it goes without saying his preparation for this fight was subpar too)

 

Well he is a bit new and improved but not new and improved enough to beat fighters of Pacquiaos level.

 

Yeah and backwards once it's hit. :good

 

That's because of Pacquiao's speed, the first punch that hurt Hatton he didn't see it coming.
