Well We all know that Paulie doesnt have any power. But he can take a punch, he fought 12 hard rounds with Cotto and with a broken jaw. hatton doesnt have the power or the speed nor the boxing skills of Cotto. Hattons defense is not that good either. And he gets tag a lot with left hooks. But his relentlessness and pressure can make any fighter quit. So will see .But I still have Paulie UD12. Because of Paulies toughness,Boxing skills and speed. But is a 50/50 fight.Last edited by Ch@mpBox@PR; 10-27-2008, 11:29 PM.Comment

I think the biggest question in this fight is how will paulie's hands be after surgery on fight night???
and i think his record historically after hand surgery is good...whenever paulie has come back from a hand fracture/break/injury he's put on some of the best performances...he tends (for some odd reason) to use them more aggressively...
so i dont think that will be an issue...infact i think ricky killing himself to come down in weight from the booze and junk rood will be the story here...hatton has been doing this for a long time but in a tune-up fight v. lazcano it really showed his age...
AGAINST LAZCANO...
in my opinion its safe to say ricky's best days are behind him...
and i fully believe paulie will capitalize on that...being quick/sly, sticking and moving, and being aggressive in short bursts will win him this fight via a close split decision (i see it being either 7 rounds to 5 rounds or possibly 8 rounds to 4 rounds for malignaggi).
granted paulie looked horrible in his "tune-up"/"rematch" fight with ndou but he fractured his hands during that fight and was still able to walk away with the win...before the fracture i had him comfortably ahead...
paulie's hands are breaking down but physically he's in his prime as a boxer...he gave cotto a good tough fight...didnt get stopped even with the broken facial bones...and he ABSOLUTELY outclassed ndou in their first fight...
in the first ndou fight we've seen what paulie can do at his full potential...he can outbox you...he has great speed (enough so that he put ndou on the ground with that speed)...and he showed how to use his good defense and boxing technique along with standing in the pocket and trading punch for punch.
hatton is slowing down...his punches are wide and looping (we seen this VERY clearly against mayweather)...he applies pressure but not effectively...his chin is starting to go...
i see this all being things paulie will capitalize on (with the exception of the chin...he simply doesnt have KO type strength in this punches)...
he's going to stick and move on hatton...beating his long/wide looping blows to the punch...he's going to be sly making hatton miss and chase him...wearing him down...mixing it up in short moments to pick up points...by the end of the 9th round i see hatton tired out and paulie closing the gap and winning a split decision in the end.Comment

and ricky barely got past lazcano (who had him hurt late in the fight)...
granted paulie didnt look the best boxing in the ndou rematch...but his hand was fractured...
whats hatton's excuse? too much booze and junk food?
hatton is looking his age...paulie decisions him.Comment
