Can Ricky Hatton KO Manny Pacquiao?
Thursday, April 30th, 2009
Ricky Hatton is set to fight Manny Pacquiao this Saturday.
For all ya’ll wondering, we’ll be having the Manny Pacquiao – Ricky Hatton fight on May 2, dubbed as ‘’The Battle of East and West.’’ And as always, I’m hoping that Hatton would be the one who’ll finally end Pacquiao’s career inside the ring.
If there was ever a bad match-up for Pacquiao, a fight against Ricky ‘’the Hitman’’ Hatton would have to be it. While probably the slower puncher than the lightning fast fighter, Hatton is much, much tougher, in estimation.
Hatton attacks and will be more than happy to brawl with anyone. And while I had my problems with the way Manny ‘’the Pacman’’ Pacquiao throws scientific boxing out the window, I won’t have any problems at all watching Ricky disregard his technical skills to go toe to toe with Manny as long as he gets the job done.
Besides, Hatton tends to wrestle his opponents on the inside and when used against brawlers like Manny, Hatton should be able to tire him out easily. Pacquiao will soon find out early on that Hatton is a bit too tough for his tastes after the Englishman bullies him and pushes him around from the opening bell.
Yep, it definitely doesn’t look good for Manny Pacquiao and his remaining supporters.
To make matters worse for Pacmania…

Friday, January 23rd, 2009
Future Hall Of Famer Sugar Shane Mosley (45-5-0 with 38 KOs) is heading into one of the hardest bouts he would be involved in against WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito (37-5-0 with 27 KOs) on January 24th in Staples Center, Los Angeles, California. A good Boxing Betting tip for this bout is that as of the last three fighters that have challenged Antonio Margarito they all have been stopped within the distance and suffered a tremendous beating as the fight went along.Now Sugar Shane Mosley who is 37 years old wants to defy the odds and duke it out against the Tijuana Tornado Antonio Margarito, a brawler that averages over 100 punches per round in his boxing matches.
Sugar Shane Mosley’s last boxing match was a 12th round stoppage victory over Ricardo Mayorga last September and sad to say we can tell how much Sugar Shane Mosley has declined as a fighter. Looking at the rest of Sugar Shane Mosley’s pervious fights you would immediately see a defeat at the hands of Miguel Cotto, others were notable wins over Luis Collazo, Fernando Vargas, Jose Luis Cruz and David Estrada, followed by two heart breaking defeats to Winky Wright in 2004.
Most people say that styles make the fight interesting, however when you take a look at the Sugar Shane Mosley – Antonio Margarito fight you definitely have to usher in the factors like age and conditioning which are all on the side of Antonio Margarito. Antonio Margarito has the advantage in youth, is stronger, is bigger and definitely the more active fighter. Antonio Margarito’s a work horse and…
Boxing Betting Preview on Manny Pacquiao versus Ricky Hatton
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
After a drubbing of the “Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao said that he wanted to fight at 140 lbs or the junior welterweight division. That is the realm of Ricky Hatton and that seems to be exactly where Manny Pacquiao is going to next. The fight is close to being finalized and will take place on May 2nd in Las Vegas. This fight was a logical step for both boxers as it is no surprise that things are coming along smoothly due to the fact. In beating Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao also grabbed the chance to fight on Cinco De Mayo Weekend, a spot usually reserved for the Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya.
The fight is an explosive matchup nonetheless for Manny Pacquiao. Manny Pacquiao proved that he is the best boxer in the world pound for pound last December 6, 2008 but Ricky Hatton will be a ferocious opponent that has no intent on stopping his attacks. Manny Pacquiao is expected to win, however Ricky Hatton will be very competitive and would not surrender on his stool like Oscar De La Hoya.
The winner of the slated boxing match between…
