(Refresh for Updates)
Round 1: Hatton comes out as the aggressor before Pacquiao gets off the ropes and lands of flurry of punches. Pac finally lands one that sends Hatton down onto the mat. He beats the count but by the looks of it, this won’t last long into the night. Pac lands two more strong rights to send Hatton the tha mat once again. But he gets up! Pacquiao 10-7
Round 2: Hatton starts by landing a couple of punches, much like he did in round one, before Pac responds and dizzies Hatton once again. Hatton is looking weak and weak legged. He keeps holding onto Pac to save himself. Pacquiao knocked Hatton out cold as the bell sounded to end the round and the fight with a nasty left.
HATTON KNOCKED OUT!
Manny Pacquiao defeats Ricky Hatton at the 2:59 mark of the second round.

I always enjoy a good match between two professional and very skilled fighters. The problem that I seem to encounter personally is negative attitudes in this type of sport which often makes me question of not being a participant in this type of sport that involves physical aggression. However being an ex-boxer (only in training) I am attracted to the sport. I was very happy at the result of Hatton being knocked out in such a devesting way. The primary reason was the arrogant attitude of the British fans booing Manny during the weigh in and the arrogant way of Hatton claiming that he was going to knock Manny out. You can also see the face of Manny change from a jovel and smiling face to an astonished reality of hostility as he made his way toward the ring. Manny, being a humble person always seems to look down at the face off but this time, he stared at Hatton. That is a body language of saying, I am going to kick your ass. It was a great night to put down arrogance in their tracks.
