Boxing-- It's a Savage Sport



6 months after his TKO over the legend, Oscar "The Golden Boy" de La Hoya Manny "The Destroyer" Pacquiao aka the PACMAN, whichever you prefer to call him is back in the ring again to fight Britain's Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton. This past April HBO has been airing it's Emmy award winning show 24/7 to feature the year's biggest and most anticipated fight that will be aired tonight on Pay-Per-View at 9 PM.

With the majority of the experts banking on Pacquiao for a TKO or KO I personally think that the "The Destroyer" will once again dominate the fight for Hatton's Welterweight belt. According to expert, Jose Moreno of Newsday, he states, "Manny Pacquiao has the edge in speed, technique, boxing knowledge and training. Ricky Hatton has size, strength, stronger chin and a referee, Kenny Bayless, who isn't likely to interfere if he tries to impose that size by mauling Pacquiao. The two men have roughly equivalent stamina and willpower. It will come down to Pacquiao's recent surge as a technician and his full repertoire of defensive and offensive skills leading to the dissection of Hatton's brawling style. Pacquiao will win by unanimous decision."

Two great fighters. One fight. One belt. Who will come out with the Win?
