God, what a demolition. The best of Britain absolutely battered in two rounds. Knocked down three times, the last one...well...you could have given him 10 weeks and he still wouldn't have even got off his back.
What annoys me so much about this is...he's been in training for this fight for many many months and I know Floyd Mayweather Senior would have been telling Hatton over and over again to not try and out-box this guy. It was never going to happen. So what does he do? He goes right in there, trying to land big shots, leaving his hands down, failing to move his head and as a result got nailed by over 60% of the big punches Pacquiao threw. He was advise by everyone to get in close and not allow his opponent to take aim from a distance. Blah, anyway... I think his only option now is retirement.
