Manny Pacquiao lives up to his name as the best pound for pound fighter. With only throwing 127 punches and landing 73, it only took the champ to mid way of the second round to finish Hatton. Coming off a dominating win over De La Hoya, Pacquiao was even better against Hatton, knocking him down two times in the first round. The final punch was a vicious left hand that dropped Hatton for good. Referee Kenny Bayless looked at Hatton and didn't even have to count, he knew it was over then. Hatton who only threw 78 punches only landed a mere 18. It was a total ass kicking. "I'm surprised the fight was so easy," Pacquiao said. "He was wide open for the right hook. I knew he would be looking for my left." "I was just doing my job," said Pacquiao, who is a national hero in the Philippines and is fast becoming a hero among boxing fans. "I always try to do my best in the ring." Pacquiao was a 2-1 favorite, but few thought Hatton would go easily. Mayweather Jr. might be next on the list for Pacquiao.
