Ricky Hatton Stops Paulie Malignaggi in Eleven Rounds

[marc8989]

This fight ****** so bad it made me vomit in my mouth... I would love Pacquiao to win and face hatton @ 140...If he made 30 million of the mayweather fight just think what he would make over a pacquiao fight because they both fill up arena....I would think pacman would ko hatton...I don't like hatton...Paulie just tried to do to hatton what he did to so many opponents...hook and hold

Good performance from Hatton tonight.

Outboxed and outmuscled Malignaggi all night long from range and on the inside. From round 2 onwards all Malignaggi wanted to do was smell Ricky's armpits and survive the night. Hatton looked very up for it while Malignaggi just looked clueless how to handle him with no plan B at all. Hatton didn't respect his jab one bit as it was powderpuff.

The stoppage seemed a little odd but you can understand it from McGirt's perspective; his man was doing nothing but holding and holding.

Winner of DLH Vs Pacman next?

Honestly, Paulie was doing nothing but hold and get hit. He was a moving punching bag. Buddy McGirt was getting frustrated at his boy not fighting like he was trained to do. Didn't he threaten to throw the towel in if he didn't fight?

Yep, i think that was why he did it, pissed off and disappointed by Paulie. He was disgusted by the performance and thought **** it....

the posters on here are so boring. same old thug acting keyboard pranksters. anyway for anyone that cares about boxing id like to say cong**** to hatton on a great win. I didnt think he could do that and certainly one of hes best ever performances- he actually outboxed malinaggi whos probably hes nearest rival in the division. Next for hatton he has an incredible match with either hatton or pacman. I still dont know who will win in that.....you would think de la hoya but i wouldnt rule pacman out. de la hoya vs hatton--de la hoya would be fav with hes size adv. and hatton isnt too comfortable going up. pacman vs hatton-wow. pacman could knock ricky out- but could he take hattons shots? id say no

Damn if my predictions ain't ****** this year. I ****ed up and missed the fight so I'm gonna have to catch the replay. I thought Hatton would come on strong early, then gas out and get outboxed. Damn these cats that ain't got premium channels at the crib.

I hate Ricky Hatton and not a particular fan of Malignaggi, but to throw in the towel in like that is disgusting. Paulie was getting his asswhooped badly but the man could have finished. You dont take that away, he could have atleast finished.

Fuck McGirt.

what the saddest part is that paulie didn't have the power to get a KO because he was down on the cards.

paulie got beat up, but he could have at least finish the fight....

[SnoopySmurf]

Hatton waxed Paulie just like Paulie's eye brows.

[roundingace]

Ricky, as I said before, is the superior fighter. He showed flashes of becoming a decent boxer as well. I understand Paulie saying he's better than that, but to just go out there and ignore your corner the whole fight, get hit and hug for 11 rounds? I can understand why Buddy did it. Maybe Paulie should go be a **** star now and stay off my T.V.

Paulie was shook by the whole on the night occassion. If you saw the pre fight warm up interview on Sky then you could read the emotional excitement on his face, he was trying too hard to look unbothered but once he tasted Hatton's power he was bowing to grab Ricky all night.

He also knew he couldn't hurt him, so Hatton ended up skoolin Paulie from the outside with his jabs and moving inside with some good hook work.

I still think Hatton hasn't got all his confidence back and he'd be foollhardy to go up in weight again but who's left in this weight worth fighting?

Shouldn't have thrown the towel, I wanyed yo see a ko.
