The Official Tays001 Hatton vs Pacquiao Poll

ok so iv'e been watching some past fights of both fighters and i've been noticing alot of important detail thats most experts have over looked.

yes Pacman is fast has power and seems to has a good chin.

he uses the right hand now but from what i've seen Pacman hasn't really been made to fight on the back foot at all at least not since the sanchez fight.

pac has a crazy foward attack that is hard to pdeal with that jab jab staight left has gotten alot of fighters. and the right hand has come along great. but what iv'e notice is that pac really can't fight on the backfoot. all his success has come from his relentless attack . wich is great . cause alot of fighter (great fighters have had trouble with it.)


However i've also been watching alot of tape of hatton who is always pushing foward and isalwasy on the war path early in his career he used good head and foot movement and he's starting that up again. he can cut off the ring reather well and rough you up. has a great left hook to the body that alot of peolpe forget about. and his right upper cut cam be damagging.

thing is i've seen hatton when he fights he's never been beaten going by a figter coming at him . his only defeat was to PBF who beat him by taking a step back and cracking him with the(check) Hook. in order to beat hatton you have to be able to fight on the back foot. Kosta tried going at him and he got beat. so did castillo ,ben tacki, Mallinagi,and countless others. the ones he had trouble with were fighters that could counter him like Collazo , Pbf , lazcano( although that had alot to do with ricky really not being in the fight) PAcman onther other hand has been beaten and had close calls while fighting his style more so then hatton. the loss to Em and the 2 fight with JMM.

i think in order for Pac amn to get this win he's going to have to do something he really doesn't do and figth on the back foot looking to counter hatton. i think stratgicly and stylisticly speaking this would ensure a victory for him. i just don't see Pacman doing this . and this is why is see hatton winning the fight.

Not saying pacman can't win fighting his regular fight but the odds diminshes gratly and make Htton the favortie IMO if he does use that same style.

this is why im picking hatton by 10th rd tko. a back and forth fight with both fighters having theire moments but Hatton will be to big to strong for pacman. pac will find the pressure hard to deal with after round 4 or 5 and start to give way.

what are your thoughts and , who do you pick and how do you see the fight playing out?

 

yeah i can't either . im just hoping for a good fight:happy

 

2-2 right now.

nobody has a personal analysis of the fight ?

only asking cuz it's great o hear stuff other then HAtton by ko or Pac by Ko and no actuall break down as to why you picked the guy.

somes times we all do it but i know esb is full of Knowledge and poster opinions. so im just trying to get a gauge

 

thing is that out of almost all of hatton's fights he has always moved his head. and at 140 he thows alot mor combo's plus his straight right hand isn't bad at all. but in no way will pac have an easy night even if he fights on the back foot

 

i can see what your pointing to and in most cases that would be the case with a pressure fighter( ie. david diaz. not comparring him to hatton in any aspespects other then a pressure fighter.) but hatton's foot speed will be the key Factor IMO. this will negate pac being effective with his hit turn reset and hit again. and pac realy won't have any wherr to turn when backing up. hatton is great at cutting off the ring. pac has to be able to side step to hattons left and catch him coming in with the counter straight left. the way i see it if he can do that he can catch hatton right on the button(like Colozo did in the 12th round) and send him to the canvas a few times and eventually for the Ko. but after going through it many times a see pac not being able to handle going backwards and hattons ability to cut the ring off. in this instance his turning won't be effective like it was in the diaz and DLH fight.

 

yes but your assuming that hatton will not be moing his head when you talk about the double jab or tripple jab that would leave pac man open to the straight right or the the left hook to the body.

this match has plenty of different possible outcomes and different intangables that can make the out come of this fights. great points by the way:good

 

i agree but how do you see it playing out that way?

 

yes i do becuase hatton has only really been hurt by counter punches punches he didn't see coming while moving in.

i see pac trying to go head up with him at first for the first 4 or five rounds this will take some heat out of him and then he will be forced to go back wich will make his punches less effective IMO.
