He lost the fight but...

[lparm]

...paulie proved he has a better chin than Hatton. I like ricky he seems like one of the most genuine guys in boxing and even though his style can be unwatchable he's always trying to beat the other guy up. But at least once last night Paulie caught him and wobbled Hatton, yet Paulie took everything thrown at him without going down. If Hatton has some serious weaknesses it's his defense and chin. Maybe his defense will get better but you can't repair a shaky chin.

hatton looked off balance to me.

i also dont think he was hurt but i do think hattons chin is suspect . . .

The only reason Paulie stayed on his feet was because he grabbed hold of Hatton as soon as he got hurt.

nah, he took tszyu's best shots with ease. floyd just hit him right on the button.

Hatton whooped that ass! I'm happy for him, he needed that win.

naw he didn't take his punches with ease...got dazed a few times in that fight...also lets not forget That he was fighting an old Tszyu who hadn't fought in a long time.

Paulie is a tough guy, nobody can deny that. He has taken some of the best that Cotto and Hatton have and he stayed on his feet.

I have to laugh at threads like this though...they can't just be, "Paulie lost, but he still has one hell of a chin!" There has to be a shot at Hatton, gotta tear someone else down a little bit.

[oldgringo]

Oh and Hatton was never "wobbled" last night. He got caught with one good shot and it knocked him off balance...but he wasn't hurt by the shot.

Paulie was shaken and hurt pretty well by a few shots though. The right hand and the straight left/uppercut got him pretty good.
