I stayed up to watch all 6 minutes of the fight, and as a big fan I still have to say that I do think Hatton WAS poor. His hands were down, he lead with his head, he came straight forward like a novice, and he walked into every shot. Pacquiao is world class, and he did his job very well on the night, but even he said he was suprised by how easy Hatton made it for him.
Ricky will never change how he fights, and against all of his other opponents his dominant, aggressive, gutsy style has overcome. He has met two people who were simply far better boxers, of that I have no argument. However, I still think he gave a really poor representation of himself on the night. |
