Fight predictions:
In almost every Hatton fight, his opponent looks "uncomfortable" with his aggression in the first few rounds. Even Mayweather looked cautious for the first few rounds of the fight. After rewatching that fight... Hatton did not hit Mayweather a with a meaningful shot the entire fight. Hatton will control the first few rounds with aggression, but will not do any damage to Paquiao. Pacquiao will focus on "touching" Hattons face with sneaky quick lead lefts and nice jabs. His focus will be on speed... however Hatton's face will show the effects early. The fight will turn the in middle rounds when Pacquiao hurts Hatton with a body shot. As Hatton slows, he becomes more one-dimensional. Manny has an uncanny ability to "sense" when his opponent is slowing, and will crank up the intensity and power on his shots. By round 8, he'll be teeing off on Hatton and will open a cut. I predict a TKO for Pacquiao, as the ref mercifully ends it in the 10th or 11th.
Hatton has a puncher's chance in the fight, but will be overwhelmed by Pacquiaos speed and aggression.
Not back to back. He's faced Lazcano and Malignaggi since the Mayweather fight. Hatton looked like shit agaist Lazcano and looked ok against the feather fisted Malignaggi.
