pacquiao-vs-hattonPacquiao was too quick and powerful for Hatton

It was a quick 2 rounds and ended in a beautiful knock out. Two knockdowns from round 1 is already a good sign that Hatton won’t take it anymore when Pacquiao unleashes his powerful left. And come round 2, that devil left came rushing it and brought Hatton down to the canvas.

The Fight Ended 10 seconds before round 2 ends. And the ref declared a Knockout. Manny Pacquiao Wins his 6th championship belt.

After the Fight

British boxer Ricky Hatton has been given the all clear from a brain scan after being knocked out in the second round of his Las Vegas fight against Manny Pacquiao.

The fight was billed as a battle for the title of best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, but proved to be a very one-sided affair.

Hatton came out all guns blazing in the first round but was floored twice by the Filipino southpaw and looked to be in big trouble before the bell went.

The second round saw Pacquiao connect with a huge left hook that completely poleaxed the Mancunian and ended proceedings without the need for a count.

Hatton was given medical attention in the ring but ultimately managed to get to his feet and walk away unaided.

After the fight, Pacquiao claimed Hatton had played into his strategy by trying to avoid his left hook, only to discover that he has a very strong right as well.

“I’m always doing my job in the ring, doing my best to make people happy,” he said in the immediate aftermath of the knockout blow.

“It’s nothing personal for me, I’m just doing my job.”

The defeat means Hatton has now lost his light-welterweight world title and unbeaten record in the 140lb division.

Commentators are already speculating it may spell the end of his career.

My Personal Notes

Let us respect Hatton for having the guts to go against Pacquiao. We know in the beginning that Pacman is too much for the Hitman. I admire hitman for trying his best and held his ground against Pacman. Boxing, like any martial arts or sports, let us respect your adversary or opponent. Let us give Hatton a round of applause and let’s celebrate Manny Pacquiao’s 6TH CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY!
