Pacquiao Makes Short Work of Hatton; KO in 2nd Round
Perhaps this time around, Floyd Mayweather Sr. is busy looking for an alibi and Ricky Hatton looking for an excuse. Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao made short work of the Briton Ricky Hatton, needing only two rounds to dispose of the supposed aspiring pound for pound fighter.
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.
The defeat means he has now lost his light-welterweight world title and unbeaten record in the 140lb division.
So again, FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. CAN’T COACH! Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao and the Philippines!
