Pacquiao v. Hatton

Ricky Hatton says he will make a statement soon about his intentions, but only a fool would surely fail to keep his head down and slide off to a quiet destiny. Hatton's defeat, which involved no less than 3 knockdowns in just two rounds, signaled an end to the Manchester fighter's boxing career. The 25,000 Manchester City soccer fans who traveled to Vegas to see their hero, "Ricky Fatton", surely left Sin City feeling deflated and empty; after all those months of build-up, for Hatton to lose in such a short spell to a seemingly indestructable Pacquiao, must have been hard to accept. The fact was, Pacman destroyed the Hitman with a solid combination of left and rights, and Pacquiao's new technique completely stumped Hatton, who appeared to have been knocked unconscious before he hit the canvass for the third time in under 6 minutes.

The fight game has always been prime entertainment in the US, with boxing and UFC tickets selling fast, but now it's an international phenomenon. Speed and power make champions in boxing, and there's nothing like seeing it live. We saw two big fights on the same night on February 21, 2009: Kelly Pavlik versus Marco Antonio Rubio and Miguel Cotto versus Michael Jennings split a two site doubleheader to remember. The Cotto-Jennings fight was a triumph for Cotto, the Puerto Rican they call "Junito". The crowd in New York's Madison Square Garden were solidly behind Cotto, who came out throwing good punches and putting Jennings immediately on the defensive. Jennings danced well enough, but this was boxing, not dancing. Some good combination work by Cotto concentrated on body shots that would have surely haunted Jennings had he gone the distance. Jennings never managed that though. Cotto followed Jennings around the ring like a lion with its prey, eventually finding the spot with that lethal right in Round 4. Jennings went down to a hard right hand and blood appeared. Jennings tried to continue but was caught in Round 5 by another good Cotto combination that saw him on the canvass again.

Kelly Pavlik is a one-man wrecking machine and it is always a thriller when he steps into the ring. Pavlik rocked the house in Youngstown, Ohio by staying on top of Rubio and hitting him with some dangerous shots right from Round 1. In Round 8 the decisive twist came in the form of a pasting before Pavlik's hometown crowd which continued into Round 9, much to the delight of Youngstown's boxing fans. Rubio's cornermen decided he couldn't continue. The Mexican Rubio had displayed courage but enough was enough. The writing was on the wall from Round 1, when Pavlik rattled Rubio with a smashing left, a pattern that was repeated to devastating effect through the rest of the fight. Rubio showed his mettle when he took it to Pavlik in the Sixth, but Pavlik caught him with a big right hand in the Eighth and kept coming until Rubio had nothing left. So, a great weekend of winter boxing, with it all still to look forward to this year.

The Toyota Center in Houston, Texas saw two local favorites starring in a fantastic championship fight in late February. Golden Boy Promotions arranged the event which saw Juan Diaz and Juan Manuel Marquez go toe-to-toe in what many have billed as one of the greatest fights in decades. Diaz had Marquez on the ropes for much of this bout, and inflicted a cut over Marquez' right eye, but Marquez - that wily old fighter - came back with technical skill and battered Diaz into a knockout victory. Marquez' lethal uppercut/jab combinations won this one, which many thought was in the bag for Diaz until he found himself face down on the canvass.
