IMO hatton will wear pauli down and stop him late. malinaggi flatters to deceive. i thought he was lucky to get the nod in his last 2 fights. if malinaggi gets on his bike and runs then he will frustrate hatton. if the malinaggi that i beleive will come in tries to hang tough, he will get steamrolled malinaggi is fairly profecient v the right hand in defense but is open to left hooks and jabs. he has good leg speed and **** head movemernt. it is there on a plate if hatton shows his old handspeed. hattons body work should slow pau;lie down that he lands big left hooks as the fight goes on. the only way malinaggi wins IMO is if hatton is shopworn and finished as malininaggi IMO is simply not that good either tecnically or abilty wise. call him plugrinni from italy and he would barely raise an eyebrow on the world scene. hattons fight to lose through to many meat pies and pints affecting his conditioning .
Malignaggi should be too quick-handspeed wise and foot work wise and Hatton will come on to him Expect the first 3-4 rounds to be cagey as FMSnr has Hatton is defensive mode, then Paulie should go into the halway mark at least even. Hatton will be gassed after 8 as usual and it will then be rab Grab Grab V Jab Jab Jab If Hatton somehow ups it to something from the 2005 version of Hatton then he has the beating of Paulie, if Hatton doesnt up it and comes against Lazcano, Maussa, Urango or Collazo then Paulie should dance around him I dont believe how ignorant the UK forum is being to the over-rated Hatton and why is this poll 80/20 percentage wise??? Paulie looked good in weight in and it should be a great fight, probably close Il go for Malignaggi 116-112 as he dances around Hatton and cuts him up
I fancy Hatton to struggle to a points win. Wouldn't surprise me either way, its a high risk fight to bet on because of the variables.
"Styles" dear boy, "styles".......... But its more of an interest bet than an actual prediction, I'd probably got with Hatton UD.
So which recent fight of Paulie's impressed you most? :? Neither of them have been looking like PFP but I like Hatton to win by stoppage.
Malignaggi UD. Can't be bothered giving my reasons. I'm not going to part with £15 but for some reason I really want to watch this fight now it's almost here.
