Manny Pacquiao proved why he's considered the best pound-for-pound fighter Saturday night (May 2), when he KO'd Ricky Hatton in the second round during their junior welterweight title bout.
At the end of the fight, the Filipino superstar connected with a devastating left cross to the head, leaving the British brawler dazed and confused on the canvas. Referee Kenny Bayless took one look at Hatton and called the fight at 2:59 of the round.
Knock downs were the theme for this round and a half of boxing. After cautionously figuring out Hatton's constant forward moving, Pac-Man began to unleash punch flurries, before dropping Hatton for the first time midway through the first round.
Although Pacquiao was a 2-1 favorite over Hatton, many predicted that Hatton would be Pac-Man's toughest opponent to date. Manny had to come up in weight to meet Hatton at 140 ponds. Some wondered if his power would be enough to hurt Hatton who has a reputation as a tough and aggressive fighter who wears his opponents down.
He stood no chance against Pacquaio though
