Hatton will beat Malignaggi.

Am taking bets.

I would, but I don't have the points to do it because I don't get on here and argue with simpletons about boxing enough..... But it will be an exciting fight....

Why are people acting like Malignaggi has a big fanbase?

Even in New York, Hatton fans would outnumber Paulie fans by about 100 to 1.

don't really seeing pauluie beating hatton tbh. hatton hits a lot faster and more often than cotto, he also has great accuracy, so its quite likely he could stop paulie aswell... hatton is very quick on his feet to. like i said before, if collazo couldn't beat hatton at 147, then neither can paulie.

Liars!!!!

It's cheaper to fly from London to JFK for that weekend than from London to Las Vegas. The following are links to expedia for flights to Vegas and JFK from London. A nonstop flight from London to JFK starts at $611 whereas a nonstop flight from London to Las Vegas is $1958. Team Hatton should be honest; they don't want the fight in MSG because WHEN it comes to the decision they are afraid Malinaggi will be favored. They realize that Cotto couldn't knock out Malinaggi so odds are Hatton won't either. Brits are gay.

Firstly most of Hattons fans are from Manchester. Not the same as London.

Secondly, its not just flights. Most fight fans go to travel agents to purchase package deals including accomadation etc.

Thirdly, by your pathetic little "brits are gay" comment, its safe to say we need not take anything you say seriously.

Sucks that the fight is in Vegas instead of New York, call me crazy but US fighters fighting in the US should have a home crowd backing them. I'm not sure how big Malignaggi is in New York, but I'm sure he'd have a decent-sized vocal fanbase over there. I worry that the judges will get caught up in how Ricky's drunk fans react every time he throws a flurry and favor him.

I think Malignaggi can win a close decision, most likely a split one. He has gone toe to toe with Cotto, so I don't think he fears Hatton at all. Hatton doesn't move his head at all so the Magic Man can score with the jab at will, letting him dictate the pace of the fight. It will be a close fight, but I would be very surprised if either scores a knockout.

Hatton wants home field advantage

Bull****! No way a London to Vegas flight is cheaper than London to N.Y.! Team Hatton just wants to pull Paulie from his fan base. I like Hatton and pick him to win the fight, but they're trying to piss down our backs and tell us its raining on this one.
