In perhaps the greatest non-surprise in recent boxing history, Manny Pacquiao put Britain’s Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton to the floor permanently in the second round to claim the IBO light-welterweight title at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The 30 year old Pacquiao had Hatton down twice in the first round and finished off Hatton with a big left hand to the head that sent him down for the count in the second.
Pacquiao now waits to take on the winner of July’s Mayweather-Marquez showdown. Of the two, the tougher test would come from Mayweather.
