Malignaggi broke his hand

I personally believe he broke it. Many people believe the same or that he injured it. FFS why?! He himself has said that he didn't break it, he was just worried about throwing it.

Paulie admitted in a recent interview that his right hand was fine.

Paulie has worse hands then Calzaghe on a frosty sunday morning If there that bad jack the shit in.....

Says you. yeah, says me and the fact that Malinaggi said after the fight there was nothing wrong with his hands to everyone who would listen too him.

This thread isn't about Paulie, it's about a pathetic attempt to discredit hatton. Says you. I've already praised Hatton's performance. Read my posts before typing nonsense. The thread is analysing Malignaggi's performance and in particular his complete reluctance to throw his right hand and WHY and HOW this reluctance came about; not to discredit Hatton. I personally believe he broke it. Many people believe the same or that he injured it. If your hand is fine and you are in the biggest boxing fight of your career and facing a world champion who is one of the best p4p fighters on the planet then you no excuse not to throw it.

So Malignaggi hurt his hand, but he and every member of his team does'nt mention it after the fight? GTFOH

Malignaggi's performance flattered Ricky's. As for Paulie not wanting to make excuses post fight; he was hammered all through the night and lost comprehensively. Any posturing or excuse making would have given the critics much more ammunition; why take the fight in the first place, why not cancel, why figh on? etc etc etc I'm no fan of Malignaggi, I just think it's sometimes the rational thing to do when analysing a fight's result; look at both performances rather than magnifying just the winner's. I can't take anything away from Hatton, he did everything he had to do, he looked magnificent. However, when you are fighting a virtually one handed fighter let's try and keep our feet on the ground. Exactly. Lazcano was a lot more game than Paulie was last Saturday.

He didn't break his hand! He said his hands were fine in this fight but he was reluctant to throw possibly due to the past injuries playing on his mind. Calling a thread "Malignaggi broke his hand", when he said himself there was no problem is pretty stupid.

I think he's just scared to throw it as much. You can count the number of straight rights he threw with one hand. That's why I'm shocked people are so excited about the performance from Hatton. He fought well, but I dont think Malignaggi was game at all. All he did was move, jab, step in to clinch. Repeat.

disappointed in Paulie, even if his right was broken. This was the biggest fight of his career, shove that broken right hand right into hattons shit defense face. Well, cotto probably was his biggest fight but this was his biggest fight where his opponent was clearly not weight-drained.

I thought the same. I reckon Malignaggi injured his right hand in the build up to the fight. He didnt come across as all that confident when getting interviewed a couple of days from fight night & something just didnt seem right. He looked pretty down most of this week. He hardly threw his right hand at all in the fight, even when in a position to throw it. From round 2 onwards he jabbed and held until the towel was thrown in. In the biggest fight of his career, surely he would have gone on the offensive a bit more!? Hatton looked good though. Looked strong & had a spring in his step for the first time in a while. He definitely hurt Paulie on a few occasions. You do what the other guy allows you to do, not just what you want to do. If when you throw your best shot you get countered with an even better shot that really hurts you, and as you try it again you get the same result, you will try something else other than your best shot wouldn't you? Ricky was too good, too fast for Paulie.

why is Malignaggi still fighting with hands like these? This guy chose the wrong profession, gets no respect from me being able to take a punch, get hurt and carry on, you should go into a fight to win it, and be capable of winning it mentally and physically, Malignaggi can no longer do this with hands like this and is going to have such bad pain in his later years

Ricky had a small mouse under his left eye which says.....Paulie landed a few right hands.......I think Paulie's reluctance to throw his right frequently came from bein' countered by hard left hooks from Ricky. On spot. If you notice when he tried an uppercut in the second he got badly hooked and had to hold for dear life. Paulie was surprised on how fast Ricky is really.

Yeah i totally hear ya man, i thought the same, he seemed so brash and confident and then with like a week to go he just seemed alot less happy and sure of himself. Cant fault Ricky tho, he was quality, i was shocked how hard his shots seemed he looked like he was gonna stop em at one point 2nd round i think

I swear I saw an interview with him saying his hands were fine, and he "wouldn't be surprised by a KO over Hatton". Even the article on this very site has quotes from him saying camp went very well, and he's completely prepared. Where does all these excuses come from?

I dont think he broke his hand he was simply reluctant to throw it

he would have said somthing at the post fight press confrence!!!!!!!! enough with these ****ing stupid threads

Wouldnt paulie of been whining about it after the fight if he hurt it?? I just think he had shell shock and underestimated how good hatton really is
