Is Hatton taking Malignaggi seriously?

[-Antonio-]

Paulie might not have looked great in the last two fights but he's not one to take lightly. Once he gets in a rhythm behind that jab he's very difficult to beat.

I don't even have a problem with the Ngoudjo fight. Herman is a good fighter, who would cause trouble for anybody in the top 10. No one will convincingly beat him, not even Hatton.

C'mon, That was just a bad hair day (Yes i know, **** pun)

That was part of it. He also looked like he bulked up and slowed down. I don't like how he was hit repeatedly with right hands again either.

This is the bright side though. Hatton is not a right handed fighter, and he doesnt throw long straight punches. The punches Malignaggi is most prone to eating are the ones Hatton doesnt throw effectively.

The fact that Hatton is very left handed should help. Paulie can just move to his left and throw his left all night without having to worry about running into a right hand. He also likes to clinch, which will help him against a fellow clincher.

still though Paulie will have to be on his Grade A, vs Lovemore 1, kinda performance.

he cannot afford to risk getting trapped in the clenches and mauled to death. He has to do what he did the first 3 rounds vs Ngoudjo but keep on doing it.


*and what did you post about Wilder, just wondering. as I myself am pretty intrigued as to how he'll do in the Pro Ranks.

Posted on how he signed with GBP annd Finkel. Apparently, I was a day late on that.

He is 6'7", which is great given the current crop of HW's. But he has alot of weight to put on...prolly about 30 lbs.

Even if Hatton took Paulie seriously, Paulie will still win this. But Hatton aint in camp yet (this coming week he is), if he was and he went out like this, then be worried, but Hattons a professional and he wouldnt.

The way Hatton fights lately I think he should be treating everyone and anyone like a serious threat.

Thats what im saying....His there for taking

[Pugilistic™]

I hope he doesn't.

Paulie is no joke even though he hasn't looked good lately.

6'7 is a very good Heavyweight height to be but on top of it Wilder has an 85 inch reach. even he said that he wanted to get to 225-230 ish, plus he's only 22 years old so he'll certainly add the weight the right way

hopefully Malignaggi can perform better this time out, as looking at the 2 men IMO less pressure is on Paulie, being his performances as of late

and even though he's defending his IBF title for the 3rd time, I would have to put Hatton as the betting favorite simply on having the better record, and being a former top 10 Pound For Pound Fighter

maybe Paulie can embrace the underdog status and come out and fight to the best of his abilities.

Lets just hope paulie dont come in with the dreadlocks again
Give Hatton a inch and he will take a mile
He'd be clinging to them dreads all day long...

paulie is gonna catch a beating,

I feel sorry for Malignaggi for taking this fight

Hatton will be dominant in the clinches, expect him to hop out of clinches to the left or right and deliver a left or right huge body punch right up the middle to the breadbasket on malignaggi on the ropes, I expect the fight to end this way...When Paulie goes defensive in a stationary style his center section is open just like 95% of all professional boxers...

You aren't going to see Paulie using his forearms on Ricky's arms pushing them down...Hatton is so much more physically strong, the fight is going to be Paulie running away constantly getting caught in the corners; and Hatton giving relentless pressure, just watch
