The Pacquiao Hatton match this morning is of course fulfilling for us but at the same time a bit frustrating. It was a good fight but spectators want a better match.
When Michael Buffer introduces the two fighter, I made my coffee quickly so as not to miss anything from the fight. Fight started, enjoying the game as I am enjoying my coffee. Hatton was knocked down twice in the first round, one with a right hook by Pacquiao. For those who are not boxing aficionados, Pacquiao’s right is his jab hand. It was unexpected that a power punch will come from it.
As the second round started, Hatton is a little bit uncomfortable, making a close hug shots that in my opinion annoys Manny. In return, Manny kept a distance taking advantage of his 5cm reach advantage. With 8 seconds remaining in the 2nd round, a hard left hook by Pacquiao lands on Hatton’s face and brought him down. That’s it, the fight is over. Hatton lying on the ring as if wondering what he was doing there. The fight was shorter than we expected. In fact it was quicker than my cup of coffee.
Nevertheless, we enjoyed the fight. We’re proud of you Manny, you made us even prouder being Filipinos. To the Pacquiao Team, congratulations, keep up the good work.
