I was away when Hatton beat Mallignaggi. I told everyone on here that Mallignaggi was going to knock him out. I was wrong. it was part under rating Hatton, and part over rating Mallignaggi. i still think that as soon as Hatton faces a half decent puncher he will get stopped. either way its the last time i let a documentary make me think someone is a good fighter.
How could you seriously think Paul was going to knock out Hatton? The guy has no punching power to speak of...
My prediction that Malignaggi would shade it on points was bad but to pick him to beat Hatton by KO is REALLY bad! i also picked Majires to outbox Vic and Molitor to outbox Callebro...then De La Hoya to knock out Pac...atsch
when i say KO i meant stoppage. i thought mallignaggi might catch hatton and fire of 10-15 un answered shows and the ref would have no choice. to be fair 90% of my predictions are spot on, i was one of the only guys on here saying mayweather ko vs hatton. big fight predictions i got wrong this year. taylor to beat pavlik in the re-match. dlh to stop pacman marquez to beat pacman (i still think he did) cotto to beat margo
I picked Malignaggi also, although by decision. I thought Hatton was on the downside and ready to be taken. Clearly, he's not. I think he will be more competitive with Pacquiao than De La Hoya and could very well win.
