Paulie Malignaggi V. Ricky Hatton (Who wins it once and for all...)

[Oriachim]

its obvious "the italian" is going to route for paulie...


ok guys, take another look at the hatton vs collazo fight. collazo a lot bigger, a lot bigger punching and VERY fast at punching. his punches were like lightning and hes a southpaw to top it off. hatton was hurt on multiple occasions but was still able to hurt collazo, touch him and win the match importantly. remember collazo was a 27-1 WBA champ, so was no pushover.

Paulie is NO collazo.

mayweather fight, another fight at welter. for the first 6 rounds, it was a closer fight than the second half. many people including hbo had hatton winning... mayweather has AMAZING defence, and AMAZING handspeed, yet hatton WAS able to break through his defence. people criticise hatton for his own defence but mayweather was only able to hit hatton 5-10 times on average per round, missing 20 odd punches.

Paulie is NO collazo.

What I think paulie has is handspeed, movement but what else has he to trouble hatton? he hasn;t got the power or upper weight of collazo, or the defence of mayweather... cotto was over-rated at LWW, thats why he couldn't tko him.

prediction:
hatton will swarm paulie with multiple punches, constantly going forward, getting picked off with a jab, hatton will out-wrestle paulie, paulie will try and colpy mayweathers tactics, but hes not skilled or strong enough and it will make him suffer.

hatton tko/ud.

I wouldn't bet on Pauli on this one.

what about the lazcano fight?

paulie is certainly more talented/skilled than lazcano and he gave hatton a run for his money at certain points of the fight...even hurt him...

paulie wont hurt hatton...but i think he has enough speed to slow hatton down like hatton wore down against lazcano...

HOW did lazcano give hattona run for his money? he lost EVERY round! oh round 10? if the ref didn't interfere, he would of clinched his way to recovery like hes done all his career. every fight gets rocked, you just gotta be hit in the right place, remember lazcano knocked 65% of his opponents out previously.

Paulie will win it by UD!

Hatton leaves himself open too much although Paulie dont have the power he certainly has the speed and skill and i think that alone will be too much for Hatton.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Hatton will win by UD or late TKO.....Paulie looked like **** in his last 2 fights and .

...and Hatton looked like Sugar Ray Robinson in his last two fights....

Paulie will win it by UD!

Hatton leaves himself open too much although Paulie dont have the power he certainly has the speed and skill and i think that alone will be too much for Hatton.

In his last two fights Paulie didn't even look that fast anymore. I'm not convinced he'll beat Hatton to the punch very often.

Am I the only one that thinks this fight will be exciting. These are two fighters who are LITERALLY polar opposites when it comes to styles. Should be interesting.

[J_CON]

Hatton seemed to run into many shots from Lazcano who is much, much slower than Pauli. If he couldn't get out of the way of Lazcanos slow shots, what about Pauli's speed? Pauli doesn't have the power to keep Hatton at a distance though. It could go either way, but I see Hatton pulling off the victory.

.... yet hatton WAS able to break through his defence. people criticise hatton for his own defence but mayweather was only able to hit hatton 5-10 times on average per round, missing 20 odd punches.

.

Hatton broke through Mayweather's defence? In what round? The fight is on YouTube. Tell us when and we'll go look.

Mayweather was as accurate against Hatton as he has been against anybody. The fight went exactly - EXACTLY - as Mayweather said it would.

And if Hatton got knocked out by a light puncher landing 5 punches per round, what does that say about Ricky?
