Fast. It wasn’t Boxing; it was slaughter in the first degree.
2 knockdowns in 1st round. 1 and final knockdown on the 2nd round, that nasty left connecting exactly with 8 ticks to go. One for the records definitely.
And the fight commentator was right (not Filipino commentators) when he said it after Hatton lay soundly asleep at the center ring: Manny Pacquiao just cemented his legacy.
No doubt about it. With that crushing performance, Manny Pacquiao and “All time great” could now be used again in the same sentence.
Freddie Roach was right all along. And where the hell was “The Greatest Trainer in The World” Floydie Sr after the fight? Shame on him he let his assistant Mr Beard to face the media. Surely Floydie Sr doesn’t want to see the smirk on the face of Roach and eating all the things he said.
Now with the return of Floydie Jr out of his so called retirement (or the lure of more Money) it will be seen who will be called the Pound for Pound King.
Floydie Sr will be returning to the welterweight scene versus Juan Manuel Marquez, PacMan’s erstwhile nemesis.
I have little hopes for Floydie Jr. That brat is a lazy fighter on top of the ring. I doubt if he can withstand Marquez on their scheduled July outing. Only if Marquez can get past Floydie Jr, will he get his rematch with the PacMan.
That’s more exciting than Floydie brat versus PacMan.
