    How is Caballero the underdog? He's taller, can box and brawl and he has a better resume

      He's a betting underdog fighting in the undefeated fighter's backyard.

        Got ya, yea the hometown decision scares me a bit but I think they'll be fair hopefully, I think he has the best chance cuz I dont think Molitor will hurt him and its a step up in comp for him.

          I don't even know how its considered an upset if paulie wins, I consider it an upset if Pauli loses to hatton

            Well it's an upset on the oddsline as Ricky is a 4/9 favourite (UK books - no idea on the US oddsline). That said, if it goes the distance I reckon Paulie outpoints him. We'll see how much power & fitness Ricky comes in with to keep ****ing in those body shots he'll need.

              Why is it an upset in the uk, if Paul Malignaggi is the better boxer? Only way Hatton can win is to brawl, he can't outbox Paulie. So, I don't know how else he is suppose to win. And in my opinion Paulie can beat Hatton if hatton brawls or box... It doesn't matter

                Ricky is about a 2.5 to 1 favorite in the US as well so that classifies Paulie as an underdog.

                  I voted Paulie, but I won't consider it an upset if he wins.
