A well-crafted fight plan for a brawler like Hatton. The knockout was so devastating that the Hitman from Manchester did not what hit him. He was unconscious for several seconds after hitting the deck from a left hook from Pacquaio. Everyone was stunned of the match finale. Hatton's family and team were so concerned of his plight, but, after several minutes he eventually went up with doctors on his side. He was brought to a nearby hospital for medical examination.
