Anyone else bored of the Jones-Calzaghe talk? Let's talk about HATTON v MALIGNAGGI!

No, he didn't look like sh*t. He had a couple of problems. One was his hair. That was hilarious. Second, he broke his hand in the middle of the fight. But he clearly won and it was a lot more impressive than how Hatton won IMO.

 

I wouldn't say "like ****". Klion22 mentioned the problems he faced, I think Paulie has the tools to beat the version of Hatton we saw in the Lazcano fight (speed, coming in and out quickly, workrate, solid chin). I pick Paulie, but I'm not very confident, there's always the presencse of Mayweather in Hatton's corner now... We'll have to wait and see.

 

I also give Paulie a slight edge but his last performance doesnt really inspire confidence...I would not be surprised at all with a Hatton UD or late KO

 

I wouldn't be surprised either to see Hatton performing way better than he did in the Lazcano fight and take the decision. But I would be surprised to see Malignaggi getting KO'd.

 

I think the X factor might be Floyd Sr. Im interested in seeing which Hatton shows up thats why this fight is intersting. Paulies style is bad for Hatton but he has no power and dont know if Paulie can deal with Hattons pressure or as Floyd Sr says "the new and improved ricky". I still dont know but im leaning toward Paulie by UD.

 

Couldn't have said it better, Georgie.

 

CarlesX7 mi compadre . Yeah this another good fight im looking forward too. Given both fighters styles what are the chances this one ends up boring?

 

Boring??? No way! I'm looking forward to it as well, no matter the outcome it should be competitive. And I am very interested to see if Hatton has a few new tricks up his sleeve, thanx to Mayweather sr.

 

Yeah man i agree. thank god its not PPV. I think something else i was wondering if Paulie hurts his hand he is in for a long night...

 

Yep, lets hope he doesn't, so we get to see a fight on even terms. I bet it will be an exciting one! :happy

 

Paulie will outbox Hatton for 12 rounds IMO

 

Wrong.

He clearly did. He was poor up until he broke his hand - I was there!

A draw would have been the fair result.

 

I have a feeling this fight is going to be very entertaining.

I'm leaning toward a Malignaggi win via SD.
