Sports Forum - Hatton V Pacquiao Predictions - Page 1

I'd lean towards Manny on points, but the weight advantage for Ricky could be big.

The fact that Ricky is being seen as massive outsider has me leaning towards a potential bet on a Ricky KO for the craic though.

What Hatton can't do is to let Pacquiao get a big lead and feel as if he has to chase the fight and I don't think Mayweather will let this happen and the Filipino may even be surprised by the Manc's foot speed, jab and combination punching. We know all about Manny's quickness and Hatton saw it first hand from ringside in the glorified sparring session against De La Hoya.

I'm leaning towards Hatton by late stoppage as the Pac Man has never fought anyone as strong or competent at inside fighting. I'm discounting Pacquiao's stoppages by body shot because they were when he was a weight-drained flyweight, not a fully fledged junior welterweight, but I feel that Hatton's workrate will see him overcome Pacquiao in the later rounds. It wouldn't surprise me if he had to get up off the floor to do so.

Got £30 on Hatton but expecting the fight to go the distance. Looking forward to it.

Cant see Hatton winning this sadly, I think that Pacman will be too fast and furious for him.

Pacman has beaten the bigger men, arguably stronger than Hatton (de la hoya anyone?), and I think it will be over in 9 rounds.

De La Hoya may have been bigger than Hatton but was dead at the weight, having seriously misjudged making 147. Hatton will be stronger than any one Manny's fought before.

Agree completely david, did anyone watch any of the 24/7 episodes these guys have been in, really interesting and i have to say both Roach and Mayweather Sr r incredibly complex, interesting and unique characters themselves, both fighters, both proud and both it would seem living the dream thru their respective fighters. only watched a couple lately and was blown away by the behind the scenes stuff we got access to

For betting purposes I've leaned towards Hatton to get a KO. It's going to be a big performance by him if he comes off.

I've gone for 4,7 and 11.

All give big payouts and at least keep interest through for the whole fight if it goes the distance, which is probably the most likely outcome.
