2 May 2009, MGM Grand Las Vegas, Hitman VS. Pacman

A picture can say a thousand words, but here’s the main seven:

 -This was when the previously undefeated Hatton the Hitman was taken out for good in the second round by Pacquiao’s one-punch knockout.      

-This was when Pacquiao’s lightning speed blistered Hatton’s “power.”

-This was when Pacman officially became the IBO and Ring Magazine Light Welterweight champion and no.1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world.

-This was when Ricky Hatton’s fiancee Jennifer Dooley unleashed a chilling scream in fear of Hatton’s dear life.

-This was when filipinos all over the globe, screamed, jumped and cried for joy as “The Destroyer” ignited an explosion of filipino pride.

-This was when talks of the end of Hatton’s boxing career first sparked off

-This was when millions of Filipino’s updated they’re facebook or Twitter status’.

A few days before the fight Hatton said: “Right now, I hate him more than any man on the planet,” and after just two rounds, the Filipino gave him a good reason to feel that way. 

After the fight, the humble Pacman said: “He’s a sucker for a right hook. I knew he’d be looking for my left. It was nothing personal. I was just doing my job.”

Good job Manny Pacquiao-the Pride and Champion of the Philippines! (Can you guess who I was supporting in that match?)
