Another fight that Paulie will hurt his hands in about the midway point and take a 12 round beating "like a man" and then will somehow convince people that he would have won if not for his fragile hands. This guy is a decent boxer with some heart but he is truly overrated. I think he needs to come in with those loose braids in his hair again so every time Hatton pounds him it will result in a different hair style. Then he can again get another sweet in-between rounds haircut that makes him look like one of those old barbie dolls that a 4 yr old with scissors got to. That was one of the few times I enjoyed watching this lip puckering assclown fight.
Pure quality:good Malignaggis only claim to fame is taking a beating whilst lasting 12 rounds against a severly weight drained Miguel Angel Cotto.
NEWSFLASH! paulie is not slick, he is not difficult to tag, he is not some master boxing whizz that some people would have you think. he fights dumb for the most part and when confronted with hatton the macho man will come out in him again and he will get ripped up trying to slug with hatton.
To even have a chance at beating Hatton you have to shake him up. Paulie has absolutely nothing to keep Hatton off him. The only thing that will be interesting about this fight is seeing what hairstyle Paulie chooses.
As a Yank, I gotta' root for my boy Paulie, but I think it's a tough row to hoe cause' he doesn't have enough power to discourage Hatton.
Of course he has a chance but I'm not really giving him a good one in this fight. He needs some good power to back off Hatton and that's something he lacks, if you can't back Hatton off he will be all over you and Malignaggi can't afford that. Floyd Mayweather Sr. already said what he wanted to say regarding this fight and it's funny.
