Manny Pacquiao AKA Pac-Man (right side)
Ricky Hatton AKA Hit-Man (left side)
Manny Pacquiao, 48-3-2/36 KO, vs. Ricky Hatton, 45-1/32 KO is scheduled to take place May 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Contrary to what the records of these two fighters suggests this fight is not evenly matched. Manny Pacquiao's skills and speed are well beyond Ricky Hatton's ability to cope. Hatton is a durable well conditioned brawler with a number of world titles to his credit, but it won't be enough to earn him a win over Pac-Man.
In the grand scheme of things, this fight is a fine tuning and a pay day for Pac-Man in route to bigger and better things. While Hatton is looking to gain notoriety by playing the role of giant killer. However the last time Hatton tried be "Jack" the beanstalk fell on him, when Floyd Mayweather Jr. chin checked Hatton with a vicious left hook. Hatton was sent head first into the top turnbuckle, and then bounced out of the corner like an arcade pinball machine. Seconds later the fight ended with a TKO in the 12th round in favour of Mayweather Jr. On May 2 I expect history to repeat itself. Manny will have his way with Hatton, only it won't take Pac-Man 12 rounds to stop the courageous but outclassed Hit Man.
