A few thoughts on Ricky v Paulie

Malinaggi is not on Hattons level, although Hatton has gone back a bit. Still, Ricky wins a decision, because Paul has not the power to hold him off.

 

It's only the general public that adore Ricky, because he is a typical English lad really; a boozer who likes a fight.

Most boxing fans don't like his style, and then you get the haters who think he is the first boxer to ever try and make money. I personally think he is an okay guy, but could've done a lot more taking better care of himself. At least he ****ed Frank Warren off before it was too late a la JC.

 

Paulie can outbox Ricky if his right hand hold's up,he broke it for the x's time with N'Dou in Manchester

 

Hatton has looked terrible in his last few fights. I could see Paulie winning this.

 

it would hardly be upset of the century if Paulie outboxes him but I reckon Rickys still got just about enough in the tank to grind out a win.

 

after watching the ngoudjo fight i thought "whats all this about him being a slick boxer??" i seriously thought the fight was perhaps a draw or only slightly in favour of paulie.no way did the judges get the scores right.

then when he was in manchester he looked awful, i know the hair had a part to play but he still didnt dominate like he did in the 1st fight.

for me his last 2 fights have shown he's not as fast or slick as people will have you believe, maybe its just a glitch but i think hatton is far better than ngoudjo and ndou which paulie struggled against.

 

Agreed both fighters last fights they've looked poor, I think Malignaggi can win on points if he out "slicks" hatton, keeps him at range and keeps moving but I'm thinking its gonna be a dissapointing fight Hatton by UD.

 

Is mayweather Sr. training him on this fight or is that only for future fights?

 

Malignaggi was appalling in his last fight. Ricky was no show stopper himself but he will do the business come fight night, and then the showdown with Pacman will be underway.

 

Paulie ain't much good and has feather fists, but I still think he has enough, combined with Hatton's disruptions, to shatter Hatton's glass chin with one of his bigger shots.

 

Please tell me this is a joke.

 

is your join date directly related to the time you started to take an interest in boxing by any chance?

 

i agree word for word...

 

Neither guy was too impressive last time out.

This fight should stink like goat ****.

This has to be one of the least appealing matches between top fighters in years.

I reckon Hatton holds, wrestles, and imitates Ruiz on his way to a boring decision.

If Paulie wins it isn't much of an upset at all.
