Hatton gets cut to pieces in this one and looks shocking lunging after Paulie. After about 5 rounds Hatton will wish Paulie had power enough to put him out of his misery. Ricky lost this fight at the bar, his career could have been so much better, he is a cherry picker for 99% of his fights.
I like Hatton just fine as a boxing fan. He is a great fighter at 140 and I would like to see him win. We should not forget how much he has helped boxing in general- Hatton drew 35,000 fans from England to Vegas and 55,000 for his Lazcano fight-that's insane for today's boxing, hell any time in boxing. While the last Mosely fight barely drew 5,000.
Im british but im tired of Hattons holding and grappling style, Hes on the slide and i wish he would have retired and enjoyed his money his lifestyle outside the ring frustrates me beacuse i belive that has accelerated the slide, I want Paulie to win not least because it also spares us a Floyd-Hatton rematch.
i really like Hatton,he´s great to watch. It will be exciting to watch if Floyd M. SR. has taking Hattons boxing to a higher level. Its a tough fight,but i think Hatton wins.thats what i hope!
