Manny Pacquiao - Ricky Hatton Highlights Posted at 5/03/2009 03:52:00 PM 0 comments (+) It was indeed a swift victory for Manny Pacquiao. For exactly 5 minutes and 59 seconds, he knocked out Ricky Hatton! Me and my friends who watched the fight live via HBO per-per-view couldn't believe that the fight was over in the second round. With Hatton's impressive boxing record, we really thought that the fight would last until the 12th round because he seems to be a good match for Pacquiao. We didn't even foresee a TKO win for Pacquiao. That's just way over our expectation. But in the end, Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao proved that indeed he is the best pound for pound boxer in the world. And guess how much money he brought home? $12 million dollars! And that's outside of the pay-per-view and gate receipts. Whew! That's a lot to spend! ;)

Anyway, here's a video I snagged from Inquirer.net featuring the highlights of The Battle of East and West. Video courtesy of Solar Sports.


According to computer statistics, “Pacman” landed 73 of 127 punches in just under six minutes, including 34 of 53 power punches in the second round, while “Hitman” Hatton connected on only 18 of 78.
