From Yahoo Sports :: Freddie Roach " Roachs status as a trainer grows in line with each victory his top fighter posts and it became clear his game plan was perfect. Hatton could not avoid Pacquiao, who landed with 73 of his 127 punches. The Brit could only land 18 of 78. This is no shock at all, Roach said. Hatton pumps his hands before he throws a punch, and it makes him a sucker for the right hook. Discuss !!
For real so much for the Joke Coach more like Master Roach ..Last nights fight was Bruce Lee vs Chck Norris all over again :good
He was never that hard to hit. IMO PBF could have finished him sooner too if he threw his hands a lot more. Everytime he threw a lead right it would stun Hatton.
Lets be frank, not to take away from Pacquiaos win. But Hatton was a knockout waiting to happen with his head flying in like that. I remember seeing the 24/7 where he hits the pads, and I'm thinking "damn, even I could find that chin, Pacquiao sure will"
everyone has it on the nail. hatton was never hard to hit but he's a class fighter. try to remember that it was pacman and floyd who silenced him - no shame in that.
More like a dis- service its a shame to see Ricky Ko ed like that but the man has horrible defense ..
I guess most of you guys would have seen HBO - On the Showtime broadcast we got, Freddis was asked the question: "Were you surprised it came so easily?" No I wasn't surprised at all, every time Ricky throws a left hook he cocks his hand back leaving a split second for the right hook. On the Ring Magazine site he said he'd love to fight Mayweather but conceeded "I know it’d be a tough, tough chore to beat Mayweather, the toughest challenge style-wise of his career. If he could do it, though, he’d have nothing more to prove. It would be icing on the cake. " Bob Arum on the Showtime telecast said Pacquiao is the greatest fighter that has ever lived.
