***Paulie Malignaggi v. Ricky Hatton***

[pins0099]

Mallinaggi doesn't deserve to share the ring with Hatton, he's a fraud, that last decision over N'goudou or whatever was a disgrace, he got busted up and wobbled by that guy, so I can't see Hatton not being able to wear him down. I agree Maliinagi has some skills offensively, but he is easy to hit, thats all Hatton needs enough openings to work the body and slow Mallinaggi down. Hatton TKO 7th or 8th.

Herman Ngoudjo is an underated fighter who got robbed against Castillo before Hatton beat Castillo

Malignaggi did not get busted up at all that is exaggerating

Hattons out of the ring life is going to catch up on him some day and I think there is a chance that Paulie could win SD/UD but if i put money on it i would bet on a very close SD win for hatton

[Silencers]

Hatton by decision.

Malignaggi doesn't have the power to keep Hatton off him and once Hatton gets inside, he'll bully Malignaggi as Malignaggi doesn't have a very good inside game but I think Malignaggi is tough enough to last the distance.

Hatton TKO

I agree he's underated I hadn't seen much of him before the Paulie fight, he looked like hot **** in that fight. He got robbed is all I'm saying. Mind you he still aint Ricky Hatton though.

Maybe a little exeggeration but he was severley wobbled. Hatton over 12 rounds would bust him up, if it went 12 that is. Anyways we'll find out soon hopefully.

I don't like Paulie at all, but I want him to beat hatton so there will be no rematch between Floyd and Hatton. Paulie might have what it takes.

thats fair enough, i agree except for it being a robbery i thought it was a close fight that could have gone either way though, but i still thought Paulie won personally

i too think Hatton would win he would bully & man handle Malignaggi infact i could see Hatton stopping him with a body shot on the ropes

We've already voted in the thread as to who we will root for...

but in this thread i want to know WHO they think WILL WIN.

not just who they will root for.

im rooting for paulie but not sure who will actually win.

in my opinion it really is purely a "pickem" fight and will come down to who can impose their style on who.

For paulie to win:

he has to keep hatton at the end of his jab; stick and move
force hatton to box him and not get into a brawl with hatton
use his quick hands to land jabs and counter ricky's shots (ricky tends to leap in with punches...paulie needs to slip those punches; get off a quick one two and get back out)

for hatton to win:
sucker paulie into a brawl (this heavily favors hatton who is a better inside fighter with much more power)
work paulie's body (slow paulie down to hatton's speed)
jab coming in and going out (paulie is the superior boxer who will pick hatton apart if he doesnt operate behind a good jab)

paulie pros:
quicker/faster (hands and feet)
the superior boxer (no doubt)
has a better jab

hatton pros:
fights better on the inside
much much much better body puncher
has much more power

who do you think wins the fight (not who you're rooting for)

opinions? analysis? thoughts?








and by the way...Boxing Scene should give me a job right? haha

malignaggi is too featherfisted to deter hatton and the ref will allow hatton's wrestling moves to ensure mayweather/hatton II comes to fruition.

want paulie to win, but i think hatton wins by decision.
