Over the weekend, a news story was published in The Daily Telegraph that reported how Ricky Hatton's assistant trainer Lee Beard predicts a stoppage win for "The Hitman" in his mega fight against Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd. Beard even said which round he believes his fighter will score the KO or stoppage in - the 6th..
