Malignaggi should have no problems with this fight imo, this is a test if Maglignaggi has what it takes to fight with a Hatton or Witter, if Maglignaggi wins by a hefty UD then I see him facing Witter, if its more closer than expected then Malignaggi will face lesser opposition until he faces Hatton, any type of Ngoudjo win he waits for Hatton completlty avioding Witter. Ngoudjo has proven to me after his fight with Castillo, he would really struggle with the very best if he couldnt overcome Castillo, even if he maybe did win the fight.
Paulie will box circles around Ngoudjo, coasting to an easy UD win. Speed will be the deciding factor here, I don't see any KD's, if ever there will be one, it's HN who's going to get KDd.
I think it should be pretty close, too...my only problem with Ngoudjo is that he does tend to fade late in some fights. Still, I think he'll be in this the entire fight...and will do enough to lose of close, possibly disputed decision.
It's 12.40am now in England and wont be on for about another 3 hours yet, dunno whether to stay up or not.
