Malignaggi: "I'm Ready To Rock-n-Roll with Hatton"

[Dirk Diggler UK]

****d? Based on what? He had a winded Hatton wobbled in the last round and you think he won? He did nothing to deserve to win. He lost almost every round and lost in every punch stat. How does that equal to winning?

While I agree that no one was "****d" in that fight, it was very very close. But yeh, Hatton did more work and landed more shots. Collazo landed the more eye catching blows. Bit like Calzaghe Hopkins but closer as Collazo did a hell of a lot more than Hoppy.

who has lazcano hurt or dropped at 140? didn't he fight harris? he didn't even phase harris

Why does that matter? He's knocked out guys in several weight classes. All you need to know is that he is far from a chump and if Hatton had a weak chin, he would have been KO'd by Kostya. Period. He took alot of hard shots right on the chin.

[Drunk Punch]

Sorry but if Kostya can't knock Hatton out then I seriously doubt Malignaggi will. I see a Hatton TKO probably from a body punch.

kostya tszyu

Just watched the fight again last night before I ever read this message from you. Tszyu hit behind the head and in the back just as nuch as Hatton did. Ricky was forced to fight rough like that to neutralize his opponents attack. Worked pretty well huh? You saw who could not take the pressure and folded.

I see a Hatton win, not sure if it's by KO or Decision though. Malignaggi looked terrible in his last fight and add that to his lack of power i don't think he will trouble Hatton really. I want Hatton to win only because i want to see him get KTFO by Pac-Man in his last fight.

[Chase8400]

Floyd needs to prove it without a ref in his pocket jumping in for him, allowing him to throw elbows, hold on and duck down.

Perfectly agree. Floyd landed more elbows than a WWE wrestler does in an average week. Hatton would have faired much better with a coherent ref. Cortez sure gets alot of important fights for being such a ****in dimwitt.

[Chase8400]

We will never know. Cortez forced Hatton to get reckless with his extremely biased refereeing that night. If Cortez was "fair" then Hatton probably would've lost a UD after seeing the "official" score cards. Ricky Hatton clearly won 4 or 5 of the first 7 rounds yet on the "official" cards they only gave him one.

I perfectly agree. I had the same scores. Vegas judges are biased to their fighters. No way Mayweather won some of those rounds doing nothing like he did. You cannot win on being elusive only. It was BS.

[Chase8400]

how was floyd favored?

He was allowed to wrench elbows in Hattons face everytime he got close with barely a warning and no point deductions. He was also allowed to turn his back to Ricky when he got in danger of being hit. What the hell kind of coward **** is that? It sure is'nt boxing. And if it is, I don't want to see anymore. Hatton was chewed up and spit out by Vegas & Cortez which then allowed for Mayweather to do the same.

my mind says hatton, my heart says paulie.:gay:

[Chase8400]

it was cool for hatton to do it in the 1st round of the collazo fight so why can't lazcano do it and lazcano was not holding, hatton was, lazcano was trying to finish hatton because he thought he had hatton hurt and i see that you don't like using your eyes because collazo clearly landed a 1 2 on hatton and hatton fell on collazo and tried to hold on and collazo pushed him off and hatton was on the floor

This is one of the most poorly written responses I have ever read. I'll leave it at that.
