Paulie Maliganggi V Ricky Hatton

[squealpiggy]

People are forgetting Pauli lasted 12 rounds with Cotto. He won repsect from that fight and but I believe it will be Hatton by Decision.

No I'm not forgetting that at all. Cotto could have finished him but took rounds off. The weight drain was affecting his stamina meaning he couldn't maintain a sustained assault over several rounds and get him out of there. Hatton won't have that trouble, he'll keep up the pressure and wear Paulie down.

you need to hurt Ricky to beat him. It's always been like that.

Also the speed difference between the two isn't great.

I don't know how Paulie wins to be honest. But I guess this is boxing.

I can only see a Hatton stoppage. Or another brave display from Malig taking a whooping for 36 minutes.

Hatton UD or SD

I think at this point Paulie has shown different weaknesses in his last couple of fights that allows for Hatton to appear more stellar and if the fight is in England Paulie will have to put on the biggest boxing exibition of his life to get a decision over Hatton. I give Hatton the home turf advantage so therefore I think Hatton wins a UD or SD with continued pressure and activity. I don't see Hatton knocking out Pauli only because Cotto destroyed Paulie and he still couldn't knock Paulie out. Paulie is a tough kid with a lot of heart, though he has a boxing style that will give Hatton fits and possible outbox Hatton but like I stated I don't see Paulie winning a decision in England.

It's not going to be in England.

Besides American judges are notorious for favouring the guy coming forward.

Hatton wins it bigger in America imo.
