Pacquiao vs Hatton Round 2 KO

Pacquiao vs Hatton Round 2 KO


In a historic ring battle last May 3, 2009, Manny Pacquiao crushed Ricky Hatton by putting him to sleep only after two measly rounds. The Englishman was immediately transported to the hospital after sustaining a ravaging blow from left to chin. Referee Kenny Bayless even knelt to check the knocked Englishman before officially halting the fight only 2 minutes and fifty-nine seconds into the second round.
