Hatton v Malignaggi (my take)

Points win over mosleys better than anything hattons done imo. Tsyzu aint done **** since hatton, that was him in his retirement fight....

 

I was very dissapointed with the stoppage....

However I do wonder why Maliggnagi was throwing very little... I think we'll soon come to here how his hands were busted up after the first round and that's why he couldn't throw punches...

Hatton would've beat him regardless.... but the stoppage was wrong on many fronts.... for fans, for the fighters (paulie at least), for the viewers who had paid money to see a "fight" and for those who bet on paulie lasting the 12 (based on his Cotto-fight). No way did Paulie get beat more than in the cotto fight....so i don't understand the stoppage unless there's an injury that we don't know about....it's not like paulie was being brutally punished.

 

**** me, there really is no pleasing some people. Talk about seeing what you want to see....atsch

Oh, and Healy you owe the forum an apology for calling us "ignorant" for not picking Paulie...:deal

 

And then in Mosley's next fight he went life and death with Mayorga.

Im a big fan of both Cotto and Hatton but i would say Cotto has the better resume than Hatton overall, but Hatton's win over Tszyu is better than Cotto's win over Mosley.

Both Tszyu and Mosley where past their best but Tszyu was coming off a demolition of the number 2 in the division (alot of yanks thought he was number 1) in Sharmba Mitchell. Mosley has been quiet for some years imo.

 

Mosleys been quiet, what not fighting enough ???

 

Hatton should stay at 140 and fight Bradley, Holt, and Judah. I dont think fighting at 147 is a very sensible option as his defense is still awful. Against Marg, Cotto, Pac, DLH, Williams, Berto, Mosley, etc. he would get KO'd.

Hatton is going after the big money at the expense of his legacy

 

Don't mean to be rude but you're talking nonsense, I won't be basing my opinions of boxers on what you think... you lack the mental clarity to separate the facts from what you want to happen, I'm afraid.

Hatton is good by any measure, he is without question the premier 140 fighter and has been no.1 in the division for a few years. Unless I'm missing the hordes of other British fighters to accomplish this?

 

And while I'm in gloat mode and we're talking about people who can't separate their analysis of a fight from what they wish would happen...............wheres Rob Palmer?????

 

hatton is class man, he has just shut out a fighter who a lot of folk including yourself thought he was gonna lose to,

he boxed well and you can see the improvements made after only 7 weeks of working with mayweather

he is the best 140lber and has been since he fought kosta, to say he is not good is ridiculous

i think you are more pissed off that this fight did not live up to your expectations and so are saying this about hatton

the fight was poor because paulie couldnt trade with hatton and so he clung on for dear life most of the fight

yes i know hatton is open especially when he storms in but im sure him and mayweather will improve on this for his next bout :good

 

Hatton beats Cotto at 140
Cotto beats Hatton a 147 IMO


Well done Ricky for last night in embarassing the hugely mouthy and overrated Malignaggi.Not bad for an out of shape fat pisshead.:roll:

 

Very well summed up,a bit more to come methinks!

 

My take...

Hatton performed better than expected. He did actually jab more than previously...like I've been calling for and people say he doesn't need to jab...and guess what it WORKED! :yep I still think he can jab more to set things up.

Similar thing with his head movement, its gone from non-existent to a basic stage, progress.

Also I am pleased Hatton stopped clinching, I've got a feeling this is only because he's not worried about Malignaggi's power and he'll resort back to it next time, but at least for one fight he stopped. Malignaggi looked like Ruiz's little son.

As far Malignaggi, he looked too one handed. It looked to me his handspeed caused problems for Hatton early, but you can never just keep him away with a jab alone. He really needed the right hand too, but he couldn't use it probably due to injuries. Once I saw he only had a jab, it was inevitable. His footwork was not good enough either, he did not circle well which would have cost him even if he could use his right, but it would have been closer.

So overall, some positive progress for Hatton but it was hard to gauge how far in this fight. We'll see if he's really improved on his skills when he faces Pacquiao/Hoya or Bradley and they punish him seriously for mistakes.

 

Me , you , us and them can stake a million ideas and opinions :good Whats your point ? I think i explained mine and i guess you are giving your's.

Personally ( yes i know you arent saying/pointing this out ) Mosley wipes Hatton and his shorts,even now.

I'd take Mosley before Hatton, probably being biased, anyways :bbb

Hairy :deal
