To be honest I don't know the opponent. Strange record. Gone up from LW to WW in 3 yrs but fighting Hatton at LWW. No KO wins in a while. Is this really for a title?? http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=34006&cat=boxer
seconded. I think Rees would have been good This guy Isaac is rated 2 below Berto and above Gomez at WW. Not too bad then
He should fight Malinaggi, high reward for low-risk. Malinaggis feather fisted punches wont dent Hatton and he can walk right through him. Malinaggi for some reason is highly rated in the US for doing nothing, winning this would get him back on track rather than fighting unknows who would be just labelled as 'bums' when he beats them anyway.
***gi looked clueless when ngoudjo got in his chest and roughed him up and that's hattons game. i see paulie getting horribly outworked by hatton and beaten up.
I think he is fine opponent. Good record - good wins - Hatton coming back from a KO-defeat ... very acceptable in my book... Look at who guys like Mundine, Bute and Dawson are fighting for "real" titles...
