Manny Pacquiao looks at Ricky Hatton laying in the ring. (AFP Photo/Gabriel Bouys)Millions anticipated the boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton, but it turned out to be just like a sparring session for Pacquiao after knocking out and sending Hatton to dreamland in the 2nd round of their junior welterweight championship bout.
Referee Kenny Bayless declared the fight was over at 2:59 as Hatton lay in the canvas. Bayless almost stopped the fight during the first round when Hatton was knockdown twice.
This is just the second, and probably the worst, defeat of Hatton, who first lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr. via 10th round TKO. Meanwhile, this is Pacquiao's fourth match in four different divisions, making him the only boxer to do this feat.
A lot of people were “bitin” of the match, not expecting that it will be that fast. The entrance of the two fighters was even longer than the whole fight.
Some things that I noticed during the fight: Dave Batista, or simply Batista for WWE fans like me, was part of the entourage of Pacquiao. I don’t like the way Martin Nievera delivered the national anthem, something that a lot of conservatives might criticize him. A lot of celebrities were present during the fight like Mariah Carey & Nick Watch, Diddy, Tonny Hawk, Fabulous and Busta Rhymes.
