The poll shows a lot of people think it will be a close fight.

It's a very close call, this one. Should be an excellent fight.

I'm undecided between picking a reasonably close Malignaggi UD or SD, or a Hatton KO. I think Paulie might pinch the decision, but I'm not at all sure Hatton will let it get there.

[The Hammer]

This is an awesome fight for boxing, two of the best in their division actually fighting each other! I think Hatton wins but I wouldn't be too shocked by a Malignaggi decision. Paulie is no bum, he is a good boxer and if he can stay clear of Ricky's body punches he stands a good chance.

I agree - it's good to see the two best at 140 fight for the linear and Ring title.

[Breakbeat]

Paulie will have more energy going into the later rounds and will come on strong winning by points!

[Welter_Skelter]

Hatton by split decision... And I am sure it will be controversial

[sparked_85]

I think Paulie will start brightly, then start to fight, and get badly beaten up when he can't give himself any breathing space.

Hatton UD, Paulie is tough.

Hatton Decision....

If paulie could **** different story...

[The Hammer]

Hatton has a good chin - I don't think Paulie punches hard enough to hurt him.

Hatton UD 116-112

depends on how much alcohol runs on hatton's blood.

if he's a bit sober, hatton's gonna settle for a UD.
