My PTBF prediction:
Asterix, Pacquiao, KO, 8
I wouldn't be surprised with any result in this fight, though. KO or points victory for either, I can see the potential for all.

Thanks Mark.
Nice to see Tom Jones there. He always comes across as a decent guy.

Anyone nervous for Hatton? I usually get nervous for the British boxer but don't feel it tonight. I was nervous for Froch against Taylor. It must be because I would be happy with either guy winning.

I'm nervous, but I always get the jitters.

i always get nervous watching a UK fighter and always enjoy fights that dont involve Brits a lot more
I actually prefer having the nerves. I get really excited!

3 national anthems! Brits aren't booing the Fillippino anthem badly, thankfully.

I've not made a prediction on here yet: Pacquiao by TKO (maybe on cuts) between 7 and 10. If Hatton's not allowed to tie-up he'll eat the faster punches.

Yeah, quite a few people have picked up on that. It looks like bad news for Hatton that the vast majority of his padwork looked like it was in preparation for an orthodox fighter.

The inside work is going to be interesting. In the lead up, it looked like Manny is going to try to keep this a distance fight, but will he manage to do that? If he doesn't, it's Ricky's fight to win, right?

I think Hatton is going to steam out of the traps watching the last warm ups. Pac looks relaxed but Hatton is quietly ready to explode by the looks of him.

The American national anthem was the best tonight, imo.

I think that was for the cameras more than anything.
