I never said it was dead even, I said it was about dead even... And if you watch closely you can see Hatton has very fast hands. Speed Advantage, slightly to Pac, Power to Hatton.

When I watch closely, it appears pac has a big speed advantage.


No matter who wins the fight, Pac's face won't look as pretty as it does now.

I'm sure it wont. I was just pointing out that Hatton bruises like a banana and it should be considered while annalyzing this fight, it could be a huge factor considering Pac has rearranged the faces of his last several opponents.

Those stats prove my point that Pac doesn't possess any advantages outside of a slight speed advantage. Also Hatton will be the heavier fighter come time for the bell.

This should be a great fight but Pac-Man ain't no joke... I can see Hatton trying some dirty tricks in there to get Pac man off of his game. But Pac won't bite.... Pac by UD!

The stats disprove your point of Ricky having this 'size' advantage that everyone is speaking of.

This extra water weight that he will be carrying on fight night will do nothing but make him more sluggish. This is the last thing he wants when his goal should be to be as light on his feet as possible.


As far as the speed factor being 'near dead even' in your words.

You're trippin !

Hand speed isn't the only speed that matters in the ring, and even in that department, its clear as day that Manny has some of the fastest hands in boxing.

The foot speed is what I think will matter more in this fight.

Mayweather is faster than Manny and punches harder, and he hung with him for a while so Hatton shouldn't have a problem with speed or Manny's power. They'll both be there to be hit, so we'll see.

What do you guys think about this technique Pacquiao does during training? I've never seen anyone do this before in boxing. Basically, every two days Manny has a member of his team batter him with bamboo sticks to kill nerves, or body hardening, in his lower body and arms. Apparently Freddie Roach kinda frowns upon this method and calls it crazy. I think some Kick boxers and/or MMA fighters might do it. Here is a short video of it:

Ya I don't mind hearing the Hatton chants on TV, it adds some excitement. Having 10 thousand yelling it around me throughout the entire fight would get on my nerves.

Just like when the ring girls walk in the ring between rounds. You hear the whistles on TV, but when you are there you hear dozens of drunk guys yelling "take it off". It get's old...

Have fun at the fight. Be sure to go to the weigh ins if they make it public (should be). You sit around for 2 hours to see a weigh in, but its worth the wait.

Leaving tomorrow too.


I'm going to hit up the weigh in at like 1 or 2 tomorrow, because I know its gonna be packed.

The open up a small section of the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and its open to all. Should be a dope experience !


Pacquiao 10th round TKO or stoppage on cuts.



I read somewhere that the tickets sales were like 4-1 in favor of Hatton fans.

They said the weigh in is at 230, but that just may be when they open the doors. Sometimes they dont weigh in for an hour or so later. There is plenty of seating as well. They always say "no pushing or shoving when we open the doors" like its elementary school, or they will kick you out.

The first couple rows are dedicated to the training camp, family members, friends, etc. so the closest you can get is about 5 or 6 rows back.

Wish I could be there...
