    I saw this discussion elsewhere, but

    1. The cameras did not show the punch that caused it
    2. The sparring partner didnt look hurt at all and got up immediately
    3. Hatton was like 4-5 feet away when his partner went down

    I say it was a slipped and 24/7 is trying to match Hatton's sparring sessions in the same dominance as Pacquiao's

    Hatton is a serious body puncher man.

    no more "staged" than the action from pacmans sparring.
    That guy who went down screaming might get an oscar nomination.

    i think that the pacman knock down in sparring on 24/7 was as fake as anything ive ever seen for the reasons of the punch landing could not have done as much damge as it appered to do to a natural LWW which he was and the fact that pac would have been wearing 16oz sparring gloves

    also why would they only show that same clip of him sparring in every episode even though roach made such a big deal about allowing them to film the sparing

    The camera was on floyd and lee beard and after their reaction the camera panned left a few seconds later to see hattons sparring partner on the deck with hatton in the corner.

    Coyld have bee staged, couldn not have been. Doesn't really matter tbh.

    both knockdowns were staged..... the whole 24/7 thing is being used by the teams to send red-herrings to the opposition! The way they talk about moves they will use, and moves that the opposition use.... they just try to put the opposition off!

    its seems that this 24/7 has added another dimension to the big fights: who can win the pre-fight strategy battle of 24/7

    and i love it

    Pacquiaos knock downs in the gym are staged thats a ****ing fact, Freddy likes to show knock downs in sparring he likes to say Pac is breaking ribs of sparring partners just to get that out there in the media.

    Just cus you didnt see the shot doesnt mean it happend and just cus you saw manny score a knock down doesnt mean that wasnt staged.

    c'mon man... be objective for a change... how can you be sure that pac's sparring KDs were staged and call them a ****ing fact? were you actually there when they happened? too much hatred, man. :-(

    No. He rarely if ever shows sparring sessions.

    the bloke he knocked down was a southpaw and a super featherweight called cornelius lock. Obviously hand picked to replicate manny.

    I was thinking "How did the camera miss that" when I saw it today, it could've been, I can't imagine HBO being so incompetent as to make a mistake filming like that.
