Manny Pacquiao dethrones and destroys Ricky Hatton in 2 merciless and one sided rounds by knocking down the Hitman twice in the first round and finishing him off with one of the most devastating punch in boxing history before the end of the 2nd round.
Before the fight I predicted that Pacquaio will finish Hatton at least six rounds but like most people, we did not expect that Pacquiao will finish it off in only 2 rounds and maybe only Freddie Roach is the only one that is not surprised of the performance of the Pacman, he surely knows what his boxer can do. Roach certainly knows that when the two fighters exchange blows, the first one that would hit the opponent will be Pacquiao because of his superior speed. Like in the first knockdown, both boxers throw a punch with Hatton throwing a left hook (that missed) and Pacquiao throwing a much stronger right hook that first hit Hatton. After that first knockdown Hatton was never been the same. The Hitman did not see the punches of the Pacman because of its speed.
I also thought that Hatton would be the stronger puncher but Manny shows that he still got the power in the 140lbs division. That left hook and even the right were just amazing to see hurting the bigger Hatton. He belittled the power of Manny by charging into him so Hatton pay the price.
Manny Pacquaio being the best boxer in the world today might face the former no. 1 boxer in the name of Floyd Mayweather jr. but let us not discount Marquez who have great boxing skills. I think Manny has a great chance on both fighters. If Floyd wins over Marquez and fight Manny that fight could be the best boxing match of the decade and show who the best of the best is.
