After a 2-round TKO defeat from opponent Manny Pacquiao, the British brawler Ricky Hatton admits in an interview that he was devastated and still undecided if he’s gonna fight again after the last. Hatton also told Sky Sport in an interview that he had not anticipated the left hook that destroyed him on the 2nd round.

He also added that if they have only gone a few rounds more, the result might be different, but Manny caught him with the ‘first punch’ he practically threw. That’s what he said. But he also added that he’d rather like what happened, knocked out in 2 rounds, than have had been outclassed by Manny Pacquiao the whole 12 rounds. I think he has a point.

I’ve lost twice and I’ve lost to the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, it’s not a bad way of looking at it, but I’m devastated. I would not have put my money on that happening.

- Ricky Hatton

When asked about Mayweather Sr.’s suggestion to retire, he said:

I really don’t know at the minute, because I never thought that was ever going to happen. But people are still going to see plenty of me.

I’ve been a great world champion, I’ve been the best in the world, and I think I can be the best promoter in the world and I think that is the avenue I want to go down.

Mayweather Sr. just can’t stop his trashtalk

floyd mayweather srAfter his camps defeat, the 56-year old boxing coach, Floyd Mayweather Sr., told press that his boy Ricky Hatton should end his career after last night’s fight against the best pound-for-pound champ Manny Pacquiao.

“I would suggest he retire. At the end of the day, it’s his decision. He tried twice. He failed twice. He lose to my son and to lose to someone below that, it’s time to leave the ring. He made a good profit. Sometimes you have to go when your prime is still there”, Mayweather Sr added in an interview.

Wait. Did I get it right? Manny Pacquiao is still ranked below his son Floyd Jr.?

He was trash-talking against Roach’s camp even before during the training period, and yet until now he just can’t stop. Isn’t he the one who needs retirement? I think he just can’t teach right techniques to his boys, does he?

Meanwhile, if Floyd Mayweather Jr. will ever dream of fighting Manny Pacquiao after his fight against Juan Manuel Marquez in July, he might just keep on dreaming. “Floyd Jr. is afraid to face Manny Pacquiao, Roach said. If Cotto wants to come down a few pounds or if Shane Mosley wants to come down a few pounds, we can make that happen.”, the three time best trainer of the year added. [source]

Pacquiao takes Hatton in the 2nd Round

Ricky Hatton chose the perfect place to lay himself on.

Ricky Hatton chose the perfect place to lay himself on.


Manny Pacquiao once again proved that he’s not just a boxer but a very good boxer. Pacquiao dominated over Ricky Hatton from the start of Round 1, giving a countless number of fatal blows, two of which made the British fighter kissed the canvas.

Now, Pacquiao didn’t just proved that he’s a better boxer, but also told his opponent that being strong and durable of punches cannot win over him. Ricky Hatton is often known for his agressiveness and ability to take powerful punches from his opponents and be able to win in the end, but this time he ate too much than he could chew which is bad. Hatton ended up lying right in the middle of the ring after taking the most tasteful punch from Pacquiao in round 2.

He could have lasted up to round 3 if he just covered himself in the last seconds instead of fighting back. But then, he will still lose.
