    Also Hatton won 11 rounds to 1 on all three scorecards. He looked bad for about half a minute of one round.
    they have more wins @jww, but none against opponent ranked as high as witter. and it only takes 1.5 minutes to get stopped and given a timeout to tie your shoes.

      So are you suggesting that the referee should allow action to continue when a fighter who is on his feet after a break in the action has his shoelace untied?

        oh no dont get me wrong im fine with it if the hometown fighter is in trouble, the ref stops the action, ruins the whole ebb and flow of the round, for something that is as important as a SHOELACE that coincidentally came untied at that instance. to think it was not tied before that is ludicrous, good job the ref to take the fight in his hands and not let the athletes decide, that's what boxing is all about.

          The referee called for a break after Lazcano had pulled Hatton over and attempted to hit him behind the head. When Hatton was sent to a neutral corner he tripped over a loose shoelace and pointed it out to the ref. Lazcano's moment had passed before the shoelace thing happened and he failed. He landed one or two decent punches when Hatton was trying to close the show and that was it.

            Hatton is going to kick Mali***gi's ass.

            This will be fun to watch!

              Sure malignaggi is a slick boxer... i wont argue that one bit...

              But i will say he has been very vulnerable at times, and hatton is more then capable of knocking this guy out. I expect paulie to show up, but Hatton is great at cutting off the ring, and fighting the fight the way he wants to fight it. Its tough to box when your being forced to fight in a phone booth. I see malignaggi having his moments, but it will be Hattons night when its all said and done.

              I still want to bet on hatton, 2 to 1 odds... 10k minimum bet, my 20 to your 10... holla

                Once again Hatton > Paulie. Hatton by wide UD or possible late KO.

                    I think Hatton is underestimatin Paulie simply cuz he can't hit. But he ain't gotta stop Hatton to beat him.

                      Junior Witter never explained why he fought Timothy Bradley like a snake charmer.
