Manny Pacquiao is now sure to be considered the best pound for pound fighter in the world, after his total whipping of British boxer Rickey Hatton. Pacquiao knocked hatton down in the 1st round but Hatton, maybe follishly, got to his feet and made it to the end of the round.
Then he was just blitzed in the 2nd round and knocked out.
According to CNN: “That was two of the most exciting rounds I have seen in my career,” said Chris Mannix, a writer for Sports Illustrated. “You saw, really from the opening bell, Pacquiao was really dominant.”
With the win at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada, Pacquiao added the junior welterweight crown to his past world titles: lightweight, super featherweight, junior featherweight, featherweight and flyweight.
His career record stands at 49-3-2 with 37 knockouts.
The fight, for which Pacquiao reportedly earned $12 million, was brief.”
