(quote taken from british newspaper, the Sun)
“It took a full two minutes for Hatton to recover his senses, his face eventually forcing a smile after contorting into a worrying mess.
But he was not able to talk before he left for his dressing room, a forlorn figure on a night that was supposed to put him at the top of the mountain.
Instead, he crashed to the bottom of the pile, put there by A FIGHTER WHO IS AS BRUTAL AS HE IS RUTHLESS AND STRONG AS HE IS FAST.
It was a lesson Hatton will never forget and when his team pick over the bones of this defeat, the video will not make comfortable watching.”

@TeamPilipinas, almost all Pacquiao fights are absolute traffic-drivers and money-makers for SEO bloggers. I noticed that a lot of Filipino bloggers got huge traffic (and probably huge income) because of the latest Pacquiao fight. Balato naman jan! :)
