In the post fight interview.
He is better than being stopped, and I was suprised and dissapointed with McGirt's decision.
He took some serious punishment aginst Cotto and finished the fight.
Let him finish the fight on his own terms.
True, he was hurt a few times and outmached, but never knocked down and put on a pretty gutty preformance.
He lasted 10 rounds with a broken orbital bone, let the dude fight for 4 and a half more minutes.
Ricky looked very good, and showed improvement with Papa Floyd.
Then he should have done what his trainer told him to.
McGirt told him straight up, if you don't fight back I'm pulling you out.
He didn't fight back, so he got pulled out of the fight.
Paulie fucked up so bad he deserves the stoppage loss.
his trainer stopped the fight in the 11th round because he didnt feel like Paulie was listening to him?
Sounds more like revenge and frustration than anything else.
Paulie does not deserve the stoppage loss.
In a way though its bad cuz its a stoppage on paulies record

what is this "Paulie wouldnt have won so he should have been stopped" bullshit.
Makes absolutly no ****ing sense.
Fighters fight to the bell, and its not like Paulie was truly stopped by Hatton, because he was never in serious trouble after that titanic right hand in the second round.
agreed
I'm pissed that the guy from p4p boxing said it was a good move stopping the fight, I've always liked that guy and now I've lost a lot of respect for him.

The stoppage was good, Paulie was in danger of being knocked the **** out.
...and we wouldn't want that would we?
This is boxing isn't it? you know, punching your opponent in the face as hard as you can.
It was a horrendous stoppage btw, Paulie should have been allowed to finish the fight.
I see this 2 ways: on the one hand, it is ridiculous that the fight was stopped in the 11th round when Paulie didn't at all look hurt(at the time of the stoppage) so it was unfair in that sense. but on the other hand, Mcgirt did tell him in the corner before the 11th round started that he was gonna throw the towel if he didn't fight back so all malignaggi had to do was fight back and he didn't so Mcgirt had to execute some tough love.
you can't blame anyone in that situation really. it is what it is.
When somebody says "You gotta fight or I'm stopping this" and you go out and throw absolutely nothing, hang your chin out in the same place over and over and get hit with pretty much every telegraphed punch he threw, you have no grounds to complain when your trainer is true to his word.
You may laugh at this but the punch hatton hit him with in the 2nd round, i personally thought killed him and he wasnt the same after that.
I agree, but Hatton hurt him in every single round except the first.

As far as the stoppage goes
At the end of day he wasn't listening to his trainer, thats not good, can mean your out of it. Yeh paulies record will look worse but it may mean he will still be peaking for fights in the future.
We've all seen it before those fights can finish guys. Im sure McGirt was thinking that.
uh, isn't that supposed to happen in boxing?
Of course. Malignaggi was getting humiliated and taking more punishment than he needed though, so it made sense to stop it rather than risk getting KO'd (which is more embarrassing for Paulie).

man,buddy warned his ass..fight or im stopping it..thats what he did..phuck paulie
I agree. He wasn't trying to win, just survive. No sympathy from me.
I just watched the fight.. I don't see how Hatton "stopped" Paulie.
If anything McGirt stopped Paulie.
He wasn't at all hurt during the time of the stoppage and could have finished the round and went and finished the fight as well.
I'm a Paulie fan, I wanted him to win. Hatton was kicking his ass but I still think that was a bad stoppage Paulie could finish that fight, and there was no way Hatton could KO him. As Paulie said, he survived Cotto and he was hurt badly on the Cotto fight. Paulie was definetly gonna lose that fight but YES he is better than being stopped by Hatton.
