This match could be the fight of the year for 2009
Does Hatton has what it needs it to beat Manny, the best pound for pound boxer in the world?
May the best boxer be victorios tommorow night.
Ricky Hatton weighed in at the junior-welterweight limit of 140 pounds Friday at the weigh-in for his Saturday night showdown against Manny Pacquiao at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao came in at 138 pounds, prompting his trainer, Freddie Roach, to glance at the scale in surprise after reporting earlier that Pacquiao had awakened at 138 and was allowed to eat breakfast.
About 4,500 people total were at the weight in, 90 percent of them cheering and chanting for Hatton. Hatton said 25,000 British supporters have made the trip to Las Vegas for the fight at 15,000-seat MGM Grand Garden Arena, where the weigh-in was conducted with only about one-third of the capacity open to the public.
