Paulie Malignaggi V. Ricky Hatton (Who wins it once and for all...)

[MJ406]

^ exactly, Hatton's much physically stronger.

picking up a paper title from Lovemore N'Dou, 2 title defenses .. getting stripped
Paulie's had a nice little run, but I think Hatton will end it.


**kinda split on this bout to be honest as im not a huge fan of either man.

[Jexy55]

Paulie by Unanimous decision, but liek Italian said, if he has 2 hands.

[roundingace]

Hatton UD or late KO. Hatton will be too much for Paulie especially if comes in one handed. I'll also say that if Ricky comes in looking like HE did in his last fight, he could be in for one hell of a shock. I'll stand by my first sentence all things considered.

[BlackHat]

what about the lazcano fight?

paulie is certainly more talented/skilled than lazcano and he gave hatton a run for his money at certain points of the fight...even hurt him...

paulie wont hurt hatton...but i think he has enough speed to slow hatton down like hatton wore down against lazcano...

Are you still betting for Paullie?

[The_Italian]

Are you still betting for Paullie?

yep.

im bet on him hoping his hand surgeon gets him ready to go (paulie is FAR better with both of his hands) and that the paulie that fought Ndou the first time shows up.

if this happens i have no doubt paulie can win a decision...

especially given how bad hatton looked against lazcano...

lazcano was supposed to be handpicked to make hatton look good but what happened was lazcano had hatton hurt late in the fight...

seems like the beginning of the end for hatton.

if both fighters bring their A-GAME then its going to be an extremely close fight.

I'll have my 10k for Hatton winning over Paullie. Deal?

Before Hatton fighting Mayweather no one would have given Paulie a chance lol.

How things change.

Now he gets ko'ed in by the p4p #1 whilst moving out of his comrort zone and everyone questions his ability to beat Paulie.

Comeone I'm a big paulie fan, but he'll only win if the following occurs;

1. Hatton looks past him, and doesn't realise the task at hand. (I think this could be the case but shpuldn't be considering a corner reshuffle. The hawthorn affect, people respond positively to attention (New attention) He'll want to impress mayweather, and his fans)
2. His conditioning aint there, so tires really easily. (Could happen as training camp and nutritional aspect may change, but imo unless Hatton is in top shape he don't make 140 anyway.
3. Paulie utlitieses both hands. (May well be the case to start with, but Paulie will be cautious. He has bropken it twice now, and according to some this amazing hand specialst will sort it out. Why hasn't Joe Calzaghe's power been restored then?? Anyone)
4. Paulie stays disclipined for 12 rounds and therfore doesn't try and have it on the inside and trade.

All in all it should be a decent fight, with arguable a fighter slightly past his best although if he put on a great performance I'd be the first to retract this statement. It should be an intersting match up, with Paulie wanting it so bad, and Hatton still with a lot to prove. Boxer V brawler etc.

Lascano?

Hand picked yes?

Dangerous Yes.



I'd love to see Juan V Paulie!

Hatton should get more credit for fighting Juan imo as a comeback opponent, he could have had it easier!

[Da Hammer]

Hatton by decision. i think he will have his best performance in a while because he really wants that payday fighting Pacquiao next year and only way it will happen is if he beats Paulie
