Team Pacquiao taking a gamble in training?

Hatton using ANGLES? lol

That sure doesn't sound like him.

 

man it dont matter, you really think fighters of this caliber are gonna actually change their style......

gameplans are rare in boxing, i mean they aint rare but it's really rare when a fighter follows one

 

Hatton can and does use angles

 

I don't know if you get what hatton and Floyd mean by the new Ricky hatton. Basically what they are talking about is getting Ricky's head movement and blocking ability up to a point where he can do what Ricky always does just not get caught so many times on the way in. Ricky;'s gonna wrestle, he's going to low blow and he's going to bang in clinches same as he always does. Manny's getting mauld tonight count on that.

This new Ricky Hatton **** is basically another way of saying an improved Ricky hatton. So yeah Roach and Manny are training for the right guy.

 

Malanaggi is just a loud mouthed loser who allowed himself to be out boxed. Better men than Malanaggi tried and failed to out box Pacquiao. Hatton won't be able to change his style for one fight with an expectation of winning.

 

Hatton's going to have the same tactics as ever I think.

They're just trying to get him to catch/avoid punches before he clinches rather than shipping punches and clinching.

 

Floyd Sr. might have tidied up Hatton's mauling tendencies a bit, but Ricky's bread and butter is still the high-volume pressure attack. That will never change.

Hatton won't suddenly become James Toney, all cute with angles.

Floyd Sr. now tells him to move his head more and work off the jab, but it's still the old hard-charging Hatton.
But, let's say, even if Ricky did turn into Willy pep overnight -- Manny can always bank on the experience he's had fighting skilled technicians like Barerra and Marquez.

Freddie and Manny have always devised and executed the right game plan, and I don't see them head-scratching over the puzzle that is the elusive Ricky Hatton. heheh

 

I think the pac Camp is concern that Floyd Sr did not allow HBO to film any of Hatton sparring, Roach claiming that Floyd did not want to show Hatton weakness. Anyone following the Mayweather training methods, not allowing filming of sparring sessions is normal, they have never allowed film session of there fighter if they can help it.

I think this has Roach worried because at this point he does not know what to expect from Hatton, and if I were him I would be worried also .

 

Against Malignaggi Hatton fought a bit differently insofar as using the jab more, moving his head, and charging in less recklessly.
It was a slight improvement, but it wasn't night and day.

You say Freddie "ignores his last fight."
What evidence do you have of that?

In fact, in one "24/7" segment you see Freddie and Michael Moore studying the Malignaggi fight, commenting, breaking it down.

By the way, Hatton could afford to be more technical fighting Malignaggi because Paulie can't break an egg.
Against Pacquiao, however, Ricky might wink at defense for a couple of rounds -- but, then, I assure you, the "Manchester Mexican" will revert back to his old head-first brawler style, because as it becomes clear that he's getting outboxed, the most important mission will be to score the KO no matter what's coming back.

Then it will be open season for a thunderstorm of Pacquiao's lead lefts, combinations, and countershots until the fight is finally halted.

 

Team Hatton knew that Malignaggi wasn't a dangerous threat, therefore, it gave Hatton free license to experiment with the brand-new techniques being employed in camp.
Understand?

He knew it wouldn't be vicious toe-to-toe warfare, in which, case he would've gone for broke.

You say, "I suspect they are watching the Hatton fights from Tzyu to lazcano, nothing before and nothing after."
And I say to you, stop suspecting or speculating -- review the segment itself. It is clear that they are looking at Malignaggi vs. Hatton.
Moorer is heard saying that Hatton's left range finder is used to blind the opponent so he can come over the top with the right hand.
But, the discussion and analysis probably went further than that, despite the HBO editing.

It seems you are nitpicking at random straws in order to convince yourself that Hatton will win.
But no amount of justification and speculation will change the fact that Pacquiao is simply the superior fighter, and that he will beat Hatton.
