I reckon Pacquiao shall win...although I could be wrong...

Thoughts?

I fear you may be right.

And I'm bloody knackered, staying up to watch this...

[Jim Stax]

Fuck me that was just slightly underwhelming! Imagine traveling all that way to watch 4mins of yer man boxing. Ricky's wifes a looker though

Just watched it on Youtube. Fucking brutal.

Hatton looked terrible, and all his talk about improved head movement and defence, was just that....talk. He was sooo easy to hit, and probably good that he was knocked out otherwise he was going to get pummelled for the distance.

He should just give up now.....great career, but he's just not in the same league as the guys he's wanting to fight these days.

Bring on Pacquiao vs Mayweather.

Just up, having got it on box office and watched it.

First things first - what the fuck were the TV people doing?

Had the camera on hatton the whole time he was struggling to even breath. I thought he was properly mongoloided at the time..and then they go and film his bird and mother who are obviously distraught and worried for his life....not cool.

Second things second -

what the fuck wss hatton doing? He just charged in and went mad...fool. Didn't seem prepared to fight a southpaw. Left himself totally open to pacman.
.

That aside - Pacman is a total legend, immense, unstopable. Not only his he one of the best boxers ever, he seems to be a total gent aswell.

I hope he destroys mayweather jnr.

Didn't quite expect it to be that short, but Hatton just did not perform. Time to give it up, I think

Here is a highlight video incase anyone is interested:

its shame that te knock-out came 1 second before the bell... i scored round two at 10-10 until the knock out and i think he may have settled into it if he got to the bell.

Having said that, Manny would still have won - he's incredible.

Bit of a mismatch in the end. Career over for Hatton?

I don't think he should fight again. I think he's perfectly capable of winning titles at light-welter; but he doesn't need to. He's fought 47 times; lost only twice to the best boxers in the world at the time. Nothing to prove. He's rich, has a smokin fiance, has a kid, and has the framework to go ahead and build his gym - no need to box.
