.People's champ Manny Pacquiao scored a sensational second round knock out victory over Ricky Hatton Saturday (Sunday in Manila), decking the Brit three times during their "Battle of East and West" superfight at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
.
.
Pacquiao floored the Hitman twice in the first round before ending the fight with a hard left to the jaw that sent Hatton sprawling to the canvass. Referee Kenny Bayless looked at the unmoving Hatton and waved his hands to end the fight.
.
The fight ended 2 minutes, 59 seconds into the second round.
.
"I didn't realize it would be a short fight. That was my strategy, left hook and right hook, that was going to be the key to this fight. I expected my right hook to be dangerous for him," Pacquiao said in the post-fight interview.
.
The win is Pacquiao's 49th victory in 54 fights and garnered the Filipino champ Hatton's International Boxing Organization 140-lb crown as well as The Ring junior welterweight championship.

@Mon..im proud to be a pinoy...mabuhay ang lahing pilipino at congrats kay Pacquiao
yeah..ayuz na ayuz puro sa panga ang tama... pero sweet nila magyakapan...parang may patitinginan sa isa't isa... ^_^
Hanggang ngayon hindi ako makapaniwalang hanggang round 2 lang yung laban...hayop talaga si manny..heheh
Dissappointed nga ako dahil nakakbitin yung laban..sana pinatagal man lang hanggang round5, malas din yung mga nanood sa PPV at live sa Las Vegas...
Hehehe :D Sayang ung pamasahe ng mga nanggaling sa Pinas, wala man lang yatang 5 minuto ang laban eh lolzz
@lordcm..pare ok lang kahit walang 5 minutes..ang importante nanalo ibang saya na ang hatid nun..sulit pa rin..hehehe
While his British supporters were seen on TV, holding bottles of beer as they watch the fight, it seemed that Hatton was the most drunk of them all. With the way he dropped to the canvass twice in round 1, and in the final seconds of round 2, you can't help but feel some sympathy to the Hatton camp.
It was the best 2 rounds in a fight I guess.. But it's not a good fight at all, considering the fact that it's completely one-sided. But hey, a win is still a win! :)
