Although the real Pac Man gave De lahoya a real *** whuppin I do not expect this fight to be as one sided. Since both fighters have a fairly aggressive stile of fighting I do think this fight will end in KO/TKO and it should be pretty dam good.

Once again Pac Man is giving size/power to the opponent. Pac Man still has the advantage of speed in this one but after destroying the biggest face in boxing does he have motivation?

I expect Hatton to come out fighting trying to run Paquiao down. I don't expect Paquiao to run or avoid Hatton but he will slip and move using his speed to his advantage. Both fighters have fairly proven chins, I just dont think Hatton can catch Pac Man.

I have to go with Pac Man in 6 rounds

Anyone in Austin hosting this?

Manny is going to brutalize Hatton early and often. I don't see it going past 3 rounds.
 
I definitley think Hatton can win the fight, however I were betting, I would take Pac. Part of me wants Pac to win so we can see Pac vs Mayweather. The other part really likes Hatton and I would like to see him win. I can't wait to see it.
 
Pacquiao. Won’t try to predict the round, but I don’t see it going the distance.
 
Except for Hat Daddy, looks like you all called it correctly...in R2, it's all Pacq.

THey just called it in 2nd ROUND!!!!

Hook'em!!!

Hattons overaggressive style in this fight really backfired. He ran into Pacs fists before he could throw his own. I am surprised it was so fast but not the outcome. You can tell there will be KO with two aggressive fighters like that.

Bring on Mayweather.
 
That was an AWESOME performance by Pac. WOW. He destroyed Hatton, just destroyed him. You could tell within the first minute of the fight that Pac was going to win.

Pac Man v PBF? Come on, we have GOT to see this.
 
At 1:03 left in 2nd, you see foreshadowing of what is to come. Hatton is coming in from Manny's left and is almost directly in front of Manny. Manny feigns a right jab to measure, turns his body perpendicular to Hatton and wings a left that scapes Hatton's right cheek and ear.

The finisher @ :08 in the 2nd was embodiment of the sweet science brutal but merciful; esp, when you consider Manny's last two fights, where he bludgeoned both De La Hoya and Diaz for what seemed to me more rounds than necessary. Hatton was just a step to Manny's left coming in when he got caught with essentially the same left from about a minute before at almost the same place in the ring. Manny threw the same feigned right jab to measure, but because Hatton was a step to Manny's left, by the time Manny turned he caught Hatton straight on the chin. Hatton's left knee buckled upon impact and the rest of him crashed to the mat.

I would love to see him fight Mayweather, but think Cotto and Mosley are just too big.
