Two Filipino analysts predicted on Friday a victory by Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao over British star boxer Ricky Hatton.

"Right now, it's so hard to look for Manny Pacquiao's weakness. Manny is at the peak of his career. Whatever power, moves, footwork and everything he has have all gone up," boxing analyst Dennis Principe told ABS-CBN's morning show, "Umagang Kay Ganda."

Principe said the only possible weakness Pacquiao may have is his instinct as a fighter, meaning being drawn into a brawl with Hatton, who likes to attack his opponents.

The boxing analyst said if Pacquiao is able to use "controlled aggression" and fully use his speed "more than the power that he has," he will manage to dodge punches from Hatton and win the fight easily. "Easier than the fight agaist Oscar dela Hoya," Principe added.

Principe predicted that Pacquiao will knock down Hatton in the middle part of the "Battle of the East and West" on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ronnie Nathanielz, a veteran sports analyst, also predicted a knockout by Pacquiao. He said the Filipino boxer may be able to stop Hatton either in the 9th or 10th round.

"Hatton's style may become problematic for Manny, but in the end it's the speed and the smarts of Pacquiao that will prevail," Nathanielz said.

He also predicted that Pacquiao will "move in and out in different angles" to disorient the British fighter and then "cut him up."

"He (Hatton) will bleed badly. It's either the referee will stop the fight or he'll get desperate and Manny will knock him out," he added

Nathanielz also warned Pacquiao against going into a brawl with Hatton. He advised the Filipino boxer to carry out the same de la Hoya fight plan against Hatton "and then we're home free."

Nathanielz, meanwhile, revealed that win or lose, Pacquiao will take home $12 million in the fight. He said Hatton will pocket $8 million after the fight.
