Freddie Roach has said Manny Pacquiao’s second-round knockout of Ricky Hatton was “the best night of my life”. Manchester hero Hatton was taught a harsh boxing lesson by Pacquiao in May when the Filipino superstar delivered on trainer Roach’s prediction of victory inside three rounds.
The pair have teamed up again ahead of Pacquiao’s eagerly-anticipated showdown with Miguel Cotto on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
P4P king Pacquiao put Hatton down twice before ending the contest in round three and the manner of his demolition job still raises a smile with Roach, who told HBO’s Pacquiao/Cotto 24/7: “Hatton, and I hate to say this about a world champion, he wasn’t that good.
“The Hatton night, I was really satisfied, I was happy my prediction came true, and to see it work was the best night of my life.”
Betfair is a bit different to your normal bookie; they actually want you to win. Instead of a bookmaker setting the odds, their customers do. That means you. And because you compete against each other, you get better odds. Up to 20% better odds in fact. You can either make a back bet (bet on who’s going to win) or place a lay bet (bet against something happening). Betfair matches people on either side of the bet with the odds they agree. Simple.
