The much anticipated show down between pound for pound champion Manny Pacquiao and 140 pound king Ricky Hatton is now at our doorstep. Manny Pacquiao looks to become the lineal champion in a fourth different weight class which would perch him at the top all by himself. No one else in boxing history has done that. For Ricky Hatton, this is an opportunity to get himself back on the radar as a serious challenger for Floyd Mayweather. If Hatton can take victory it will set him up nicely for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather assuming Mayweather beats Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18th.
We predicted a victory for Pacquiao via unanimous decision or late round TKO. However, Hatton can certainly make it interesting. I don't foresee Pacquiao letting Hatton have his way ever in this fight. Pacquiao's punching accuracy and deceptive range will make it hard for Hatton to avoid punches so it really matters how well he can take the hits in order to fight his own fight. Pacquiao can afford to play it safe a little bit but Hatton will have to be on the offensive throughout that fight.
Make sure not to miss this great fight. One thing is for sure - this fight will be interesting and exciting the entire way through.
