    He should keep moving, take away the straight left and jab, then wrestle, hug, lean on him, etc...

    But none of that is going to work, Pacquiao by TKO round 11

    Hit Pac on the balls and its over! Or try to emulate it as a MMA bout! He(Hatton) would have a chance to win!

    Needs to keep the head movement up, use his right hand effectively like he did against Malignaggi, and do his usually work on the inside. Step and find the right angles, lean, hold, clinch, pound his ribs. If he does that, I think Pacquiao's had enough by round 10.

    he would probably need to back pac on to the ropes, maul him and give him no space to move then step back and hit to the body, also lead rights while moving in

    hatton has problems with going face first into ring posts, maybe pac could use that to his advantage

    Pacquiao's tendency to jump backwards and retreat in reaction to virtually any type of forward movement and shell up with his midsection exposed is going to cost him against Hatton. Roach can try and work with him on it for this fight, but that fundamental flaw is going to be there regardless more often than not. Hatton just needs to be Hatton for the most part.

    indeed.

    rickys gotta make the fight as rough as possible knowing hes gonna have to take 2-3 to give 1. his best chances at stopping pac is early and its all about working pacs body. we'll see how much heart & will hatton has at this stage in his career.. and having floyd sr at his side can only help his chances.

    I'm really not sure what strategy will work best for Ricky. I guess many of the things that have been stated. The thing of it is, Pac seems to have problems with tactical boxers, and that in no way plays towards Hatton's strengths. If he can make it a phone booth battle, I suppose he'll have a good shot.

    wrestle like he always does :lol: but roach will come out with a good fight plan for pacman to use his speed and beat hatton to the punch.
