If Hatton think's he is a Mayweather product... He will lose. (You can't box, don't try too!) Hatton must & need's to be good old Hatton to win. If he think's he has style & Movement now cause of FMSr....lol Then chalk up an easy win for Paulie.
You can't simplify it so much. Watch: Malignaggi UD Hatton is VERY overrated and struggled against Juan Lazcano who in reality is a few levels below Malignaggi. There are several intangibles that go way beyond saying one dude struggled against his last opponent (ESPECIALLY if the fighter you're choosing struggled even more so on the very same card) when trying to analyse a fight. I honestly think Paulie's speed and rhythm are going to give Ricky fits, but I'm not so sure Paulie can win win this with only one hand. I think a two-fisted Paulie beats this version of Hatton rather easily, but his right hand is so unreliable and if it gets hurt again I have a hard time seeing him winning this fight.
Hatton by decision. Tough fight to pick because I really think Hatton is on the decline but he is probably going to be up for this one. Malignaggi's speed and movement may give Hatton trouble early but by the end things will be going Hatton's way.
its all gonna depend on if some of the guys arround here are right in how far Hatton has slipped.... personaly I hink Lazcano was quite under-rated and would have given anyone a tough fight on the night he and ricky fought. I'm gonna say Hatton by Stoppage in the 11th Tszyu style!
Hatton in 10 or UD. Paulie is quick but hes no defensive wizz. Hes easy enuff to hit if u close the gap on him which Ndou and others were able to do and Hatton is better than Ndou. scorecards vs lazcano ~ referee: Howard John Foster | judge: Marcus McDonnell 120-110 | judge: Pat Russell 118-110 | judge: Phil Austin 120-108 ~ nicked from boxrec
I think its going to be a pretty ugly fight. I'm edging hatton but pauli can win just by moving an using his jab. It will be hard for paulie to get comfortable with hattons awkward huggy bear pressure. i don't see a knockout from either guys.
magic out boxes and stays on the out side frustrating hatton with his cleaner boxing. magic by ud after getting past the first 3 rounds of pressure
