10% or so - I doubt he will. Stopping Pauli would be good for Hatton as it's something Cotto couldn't do.
75%. Yeah I said it. Why? Simple. No matter how good of a boxer you are, if you don't have power to back it up, you'll never be able to keep a PURE pressure fighter away from you. It has happened before(and recently), it will happen again. At some point of the fight, Ricky will eventually catch up to Paulie and hit him with bombs. And no. Just because Paulie didn't go down against Cotto, doesn't mean he won't go down against Hatton. Styles, my friends. Styles. Hatton's more of a body puncher than Cotto(especially at 140). Paulie has a tough chin, but Ricky won't target that. He'd punish Paulie in the body and it will show in the mid-rounds. I see Paulie going down from a punch to the gut.
hatton isnt coming in with the same game plan as before atsch rickys preparation & training with mayweather sr was totally different. yea, i can see ricky going back into his old ways @ the 2nd half of the fight but wasnt the lazcano proof that ricky doesnt have the same tanacity as before ? *edit* lazcano: blown up lightweight who was inactive for 15 months prior to the hatton fight. granted he was never stopped before but neither was paulie..
Hatton will wear him down and stop him. Malignaggi and his chronic hand problems has made him a 1 handed fighter lately and he's been exhausted and stunned vs. Ngoudjo and Ndou. Even counting that he'll be in better form here, Hatton's style is poison against him and he has no power to keep him off, nor the skill to outbox him. So Hatton will make this fight rough, wear him out and likely deliver a tko in accumulation work. Cotto was skeletor, fight is decieving and Malignaggi's a coke head these days on top of it.
10% under,Malignaggi is not a stationary target,he is a tough guy,has a good chin.Hatton won't KO him.
How do you know Hatton's style will be TOTALLY different just because he's under Floyd Sr.? I seriously doubt he'll do a complete makeover and suddenly become a say, defensive boxer. That's not gonna happen bro. Sr. most likely just added some extra stuff on Hatton's style to make him more effective, probably some more head movement, ducking and slipping and stuff like that, but nothing major. He's still, in essence, a pressure fighter. It'd be pretty dumb for them to completely change Hatton's style, don't you think? And yeah he had trouble with Lazcano, but its not like Malignaggi was SRR-reincarnated in his recent fights either. He also had alot of trouble with Ngoudjo and N'dou, remember? So because its hard to gauge them in their recent fights, I just tried analyzing their styles. Nothing wrong with that. I might be wrong, I might be right. We'll see.
[YT]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6UeYWanxhfs[/YT] 75+ He has better punching power and his training he has looked very quick and swift. Although if it does go all the way it wouldnt surprise me.
i agree that there will be NO complete make over on rickys part. i'm expecting an ugly win by hatton via points. but when you really weight out the facts from prev fights, different trainer/training methods etc the chances of a hatton KO isnt 75% + :bart .
