Manny Pacquiao once again showed the world why he's the number 1 ranked pound for pound king in the world. A 2nd round blistering knockout over Hatton just put Pacquiao on a level this sport hasn't seen in a very long time, if ever.
Hatton was knocked to the floor twice in the first round, unable to see the blinding handspeed of Manny Pacquiao. The second round was the end, Manny Pacquiao knocked out Hatton with one punch, a blistering left hook. Hatton stayed on the floor as the medical doctors examined him, it was a tremendous left hook. It was evident early in the first round that Manny's hand-speed was going to be way too much for Hatton to handle. Once Pacquiao started to turn Hatton it was all over. Hatton couldn't see where Manny's punches were coming from, but he sure as hell felt them.
Hatton survived the first round beating, and came out for the second round. It would be Hatton's last round of the evening compliments of a perfectly placed Pacquiao left hook. The hook that landed sent Hatton crashing to the ground, where he would lay for several minutes before getting up.
This writer is wondering if Floyd Mayweather Sr has found a hole to go hide in yet, as I am sure Freddie Roach is looking for him in order to share a few post fight words with him. Floyd Sr has made a living over the past 2 months throwing his verbal jabs at Roach calling him "no coach joke Roach." It will be a long flight home for Hatton, who I am sure will live to fight another day. I am guessing he won't be asking for no rematch against Pacquiao though.
Could it be possible that Floyd Mayweather Jr would be the underdog if and when a showdown between himself and Pacquiao ever happened? I do believe so, I believe that Mayweather would find it very difficult to handle Pacquiao's speed.
So once again, Manny Pacquiao demonstrated to the world why he's the pound for pound king. Whoever gets into the ring with him next better be ready.
