Were you actually suprised the fight ended in 2 rounds?

    I did not think Pac would blow him out in the 2nd. Earlier than expected.

    everyone in the cinema were i was watching were surprised with the outcome. many are not hardcore boxing fans and thought hatton is **** because the fight ended early. they might think that david diaz is a better fighter than hatton because he lasted way more longer.

    Very surpried. I had Pac winning by UD or late KO/TKO. Seriously underrated his power at 140 (maybe overrated Hatton's improvement and chin as well). When he floored Hatton that first time, I was like holy ****.

    A little disappointed we didn't get the war I expected. Spectacular performance by Pacquiao. Hail to the King.

    i no i was shocked i kept bouncing back and forth between fighters till fight time. i thought manny look strong at 140 by weigh in pics . i no i didnt really care for the undercard much. korobov impressed me. but i didnt really care for lara or jacobs. soto fight was ok especially the uppercut that was great.

    I was shell shocked :admin after watching Pac take Hatton apart. I thought pac would win and start fast and that Ricky would have to eat a lot of shots coming in but I never thought the fighter who walked through everything Tszyu through at him would get KO'ed so quickly.

    Either Hatton has regressed and the weight fluctuations have taken their toll over the years or Tszyu was never as good as we thought especially the older version Hatton fought or Pac has simply progressed to another level as a boxer.

    I am currently in awe of Pac.

    I was and I wasn't. I predicted 9th round KO but in my analysis of the fight I also said Hatton gets knocked out inside 4 if Pac stuns him early. And he did. What I was surprise about is how every punch pac threw hurt Hatton bad, I thought it would take one of those vaunting left hands to put him down.

    I have to agree. Pac is a much better fighter than I had previously thought. I think the JMM fights always made me doubt him but sometimes a boxer comes along that will always give you fits and makes you look bad.

    I was also suprised how smart Roach and Pac were. They walked Hatton on to a counter left hook just like Mayweather did. They clearly had studied Hatton and knew how to deal with his pressure.

    Once again...Roach changed his prediction just before the fight in an interview. He said he only gave that initial prediction to wind SR up a bit.

    Wish he'd have stuck to his guns, would have been cool. Shame.
