Filipino boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao made history again after defeating British pugilist Ricky Hatton in a devastating second round stoppage of their 12-round super-lightweight title match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Pacquiao floored the Hitman twice in the first round before ending the fight with a hard left to the jaw that sent Hatton sprawling to the canvass.

"I didn't realize it would be a short fight," he said, adding that he used the right hook to pressure Hatton.

The win is Pacquiao's 49th victory in 54 fights and garnered him Hatton's International Boxing Organization 140-lb crown.
