Ricky Hatton vs Juan Lazcano has been announced for March 24th in Ricky’s familiar stomping grounds at the City Of Manchester Stadium in England. The fight will be Hatton’s first since signing under the high-powered Golden Boy Promotions company run by Oscar De La Hoya. BodogLife.com has Manny Pacquiao as a -200 boxing betting favorite in Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez II this Saturday night.

While I wouldn’t call Juan Lazcano a “light touch” I will say that Golden Boy is trying to get Ricky a huge payday with minimal risk since being plastered to the canvas in his first loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last December. Lazcano, 37-4-1 (27), is a legit top-ten contender and with his strong durability and pressure style of fighting should make for a crowd pleasing fight but I see Hatton opening around -400. BodogLife.com as the OVER\UNDER at 11.5 rounds with the OVER at -175 for Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Maunel Marquez II this Saturday night.

A crowd pleasing fight is a good idea with an estimated record breaking crowd of 55,000+ expected to be in attendance. Hatton had this to say, “I'm down the home stretch of my career with everything I have done so far. But I'm back down to my normal weight and it's my aim to come back and slam the door on everyone who thinks I'm finished. You prove yourself to be great by coming back from obstacles which are put in front of you. It is a homecoming fight and it's an absolute dream come true to be fighting back in Manchester.”
