I had never doubted that the People's Champ, Manny Pacquiao, could actually floor Hatton in the biggest fight of their careers..but I'm not so sure if I had underestimated Pacman or just overestimated Hatton, as the results still turned out to be quite a surprise for me. My prediction was for Hatton to have gotten knocked out not later than the 10th round...but boy,oh boy, was I wrong. I certainly did not see Pacman's triumph by the 2nd round coming. It was a fight clearly owned by the now ambidextrous boxer as he scored his 1st knock down from his thundering right(which he has brilliantly developed through the help of his coach, FR) against his defending title-holder opponent in Round 1.
When 2nd round came, Hatton stood up to redeem himself and get back at Pacquiao. At the start of the round, Hitman was big on the offensive -- so hot to return the knock down he got from Pacman. We all know how loud the Brit sports enthusiasts can cheer and Hatton's supporters, who flew all the way from their hometown, were no exception. The audience was totally rambuctious, and for that moment in time, I really thought Hatton would already have regained his energy and strength as it was already nearing the end of the round and a knock down was not yet again seen. However, Hatton's agressiveness was put to staggering halt as Pacman threw a perfectly calculated left hook which squarely landed on Hatton's unguarded jaw. The next thing we knew, the Hitman was lying flatly on the ring canvas, sealing his defeat.
Our tickets =)
Joy, Pipo & me after the sweet victory
