paulie 'the magic man' malignaggi vs junior 'hitter' witter who wins??

Malignaggi ! :yep

 

Paulie is probably my favourite non-British fighter but I feel that Witter would stop him. Paulie just doesn't have anywhere near enough power to discourage a top class and experienced operator like Witter walking right through his punches.Witter certainly hits harder than Cotto at 140

 

witter ud

the 2 flaws in witters style wont matter vs malignaggi

great fight though

 

surely not underrated anymore

 

I maybe wrong, but wasn't the Michael Stewart (36-2-2 at the time) fight a title eliminator, and at the time Stewart had an ok resume? Hatton was working his way up to a fight with Kostya and this fight made sense????

Hatton after crushing Stewart then had two more fights to avoid Witter again fighting Oliveira and then Kostya becoming the no1 Light Welter in the process. Definite ducking.

Meanwhile 4 years after his loss to Judah, round about the same time as Hatton was peppering Stewart, Witter was still fighting real bums and not doing a whole lot. He did however manage to fight (super inflated overrated) N'dou who was 39 -7 at the time.

I can clearly see the ducking.

Both have worked their way up to the top and I think a fight between the two would be good. However to say Hatton has 'ducked' Witter is laughable.

 

Paulie by UD
Witter counters... so paulie's gotta throw to be countered right? Well Paulie has insane accuracy (look at his compubox numbers). Witter likes to let a weak jab in mid to late rounds glance off him and counter. Paulie's jabs are STIFF rounds 1-12. We can thank his broken hands early in his career for that. Also, witter waits for spots to mount his own assault and we have all seen paulie light up 5-10 hit combos and then he's gone- out of effective countering distance.

But weather I am right or wrong as to the outcome, I have a bigger and probably more accurate opinion on this matchup. If this fight comes to fruition, I see it being a snorefest with someone losing a title. Paulie sticking and moving with a counter from witter. That's how i see it playing out. I am praying for witter to take a different opponent and leave paulie to other choice but to do the same.
