Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao May 2nd

[V3r1f13d]

Collazo is highly underrated though. He went the distance and put up a good fight with Mosley, and in my book beat Andre Berto. Hatton did much better than Berto did.

I read the tickets sold for Hatton fans to Pac fans were about 4-1.
Be ready to hear the chants throughout the entire fight.

Mayweather vs Marquez is officially on (announced today).
I will definately be at the MGM on July 18th.

Watch Pac state he wants the winner of that fight after he beats Hatton. Whether he wins by KO, UD, or a judges robbery...they will make sure that he beats Hatton so he can call out Mayweather after the fight.

My Pick = Manny

Manny

Placed 2.4 For 1

The general public is drinking the hell out of the Manny koo-aid. All the better though. Weight is an extremely important factor here.

Paq weighed in at 137lbs... his weight isn't going to fluctuate all too much.

Hatton is going to step into the ring at 150+. And does anyone question his stamina?

Like I said before, I love Manny, but Paq hasn't been hit like he will be tonight. Hatton is going to dish out a beatdown like no other.

It went from -260 to -240 and is now back at -260 on wsex, so it's pretty even over there.

Hatton will balloon up to 150 but I dont think that will matter much other than make him a little slower. They know they can't match speed, so they are comming in with more power. True Manny has never been hit by someone like that, but Manny has a chin, and on top of that Hatton has to find his target. I think Hatton would have to land a flush shot and even at that I think Manny would take it. Only Morales had the blue print to beat Pacquaio (without controversy) and that was his reach advantage, keeping Manny on the outside. That isn't Hatton's style and he has shown a B chin (at best) throughout his career.

I think Hatton has a chance, much better than a +200 dog. I expect him to take 2 or 3 of the first 6 and then see Manny take it from there.

Wish you the best of luck though, I'm a Hatton fan as well.

I'm with V3r, boxing wants Manny to win. Problem is Hatton will be the biggest man Pacs fought and late in the fight that will matter. I think both guys are tough (mentally & physically) and because the boxing game is still "the boxing game" I wouldn't be surprised if there is a draw should it be left up to the judges.
sportsbook has a decision at +1700 so I'm throwing a twenty spot down to win $340.
It should be a great fight! GLA!

HOLY SHEEEEAT!

:eeek: :eeek: :eeek:

never woulda guessed that outcome either! 2nd round?

MANny is the MAN. wow.

:bow:

Hatton didn't do one thing Sr. told him to do..Left himsellf way to exposed...That punch was so square on the chin too....

Paq vs Pretty Boy can't wait for that one :beerbang:

[V3r1f13d]

Ya, Hatton looked horrible. That's Mayweather's doing. He should of stuck with Billy Graham. Mayweather tries to change his fighters, rather than working with what they have and improve them...he tries to reprogram everything about them over night. Then this is what you get, a dud.

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

Great job by Manny! I'v never seen such a showing by a fighter of Hatton's caliber. IMO, he should hang em' up.

Mayweather-Pacquiao will be one for the ages!

Pinny just opened PBF as a 4-1 fave over JMM

Sounds about right...

It opened up at -300 at some weird Euro sites a few days ago. Figured that was too good to be true.

I'm pounding PBF here.
