Barely a day before the much-awaited Pacquiao-Hatton match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, many boxing fans believe that Manny Pacquiao will win the fight because of his superior speed and powerful punches.
Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton will climb the ring at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night, each promising to win in the much awaited boxing fight of the year.
But boxing experts predict that the boxer who is speedier and more powerful will win the fight. In the case of these two popular boxers, Manny Pacquaio may have the edge over Ricky Hatton in terms of power and speed. It is probably true that Hatton is a powerful puncher but so is Pacquaio. And in terms of speed, Pacquiao have a marked advantage.
