Ricky Hatton Vs Manny Pacquiao

Post by **BaaBaa.** » Fri May 01, 2009 8:51 pm

The fight of the year is happening this weekend.

So will the hitmans strength and relentless pressuring style prevail or will the pacmans superior technique and movement win the fight.

It will certainly be an unmissable match up.

I'm going for a Hatton KO around the 8-10 round.

I will not be putting money on it either way though.

OK, two votes so that's you and I. I saw Hatton fight once on TV and yes, he's good. I don't think he's going to get past this guy though, although he'll die trying. We shall buy each other virtual beers.

I met him in Manchester once, sound guy, he's tiny.

Both legends IMO so I cant wait.

I would want Pacquiao to win if he was fighting anybody else, I love his style, as I did Barrera, Morales etc, but Rickys a local legend so I'm hoping it's him on this occasion.

You lot are lucky, the big vegas fights are on at a decent time in Thailand, I'm in England for another month so will have to wait until about 3 or 4 in the morning.

Never mind BaaBaa, you'll get to Thailand in time for the Champions League final ..................... at 3 or 4 in the morning

Wonder who you'll be supporting - or will it be an early night

I fly 2 days after the Final (its on wednesday) and I shall be supporting Anyonebutunited FC.

I'll be just in time for the FA Cup and I'll grit my teeth and support Everton.

PacMan within 9.
Skill, speed, power, discipline and experience with overall far higher calibre opponents.
