Malignaggi: "Ricky Hatton Better Be Ready in The Fall"

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Hatton has a good enough chin ......

I dunno. Paulie is a light hitter, but I can see PM puffing up Hatton's face and tiring Hatton from eating jabs and missing.

Can't see it to be honest. Paulie isn't a bad sort of fighter but his lack of power is a real problem against someone like Hatton and I can't for the life of me understand how he got this reputation as being this superb defensive fighter. He really isn't. He moves well for two minutes, gets caught with a jab and decides to go toe-to-toe!

Would you say that Paulie is an overall better fighter than Lazcano or Urango?

Overall yes, but what difference does it make? Hatton beat both those guys by at least ten rounds to two.

Paulie is NOT gonna beat Ricky thats ridiculous.....Paulie couldn't crack an egg!!...Ricky's just gonna just stalk him all over the ring, pound his body, tie him up and win an easy UD......If Paulie had maybe just a LITTLE bit of power, than it would be a fight....but this won't. Any bets?

Well, he outscored them and failed to hurt them. Ricky struggled with both. In fact, Ricky was hurt by them.

That should be troubling to RH supporters.

I'm just not excited about this particular matchup. If PM weathers the storm early on then he should be able to outpoint Hatton late in the fight.

Hatton will stop Paulie with a body shot while way ahead in the fight. After the fight Paulie will be "overrated" and whatever excuse you can think of to discredit Hatton.
