Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 How do you all think this will go on Saturday night / Sunday morning? I can't see Malignaggi beating Hatton to be honest. He's a weak puncher, but tough as nails (see the Cotto fight) so I think it points to Hatton winning on a unanimous points decision. If Malignaggi is to win, he will have to try to and out box Hatton, as Mayweather did. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the defence or the skills that Floyd does so can't see it happening. Malignaggis only other chance is if Hatton's stamina lets him down again in the final few rounds. Also, Hatton will have Liam and Noel Gallagher carrying his belts to the ring, which is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Weathers Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Also, Hatton will have Liam and Noel Gallagher carrying his belts to the ring, which is nice Quality. I think Hatton will KO him in the middle rounds. Or dominate the fight and win on a wide points decision. Can't see Malignaggi doing anything here.

loveofthegame Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hatton needs to win and win well, which i'm certain he will. KO in round 5 or 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Weathers Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Floyd Snr has got him in good shape. What time is the fight expected to start - 4am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1874M Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Should read Ricky's blog on his site.. quite a good read. Any any idea of a start time. The last three weekends have been quality for the man beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.C Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hatton batters him all night long. Malignaggi is the definition of 'all mouth'. Apparently his career highlight was getting smacked about off Cotto for an entire fight...well that isn't going to do him much good. Malignaggi is quick and quite hard to pin down, but I fully expect Hatton to walk through him in 6 rounds...8 at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvisisgod Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think people are writing off Malignaggi too much, true he has only 5 KO's in about 30 ish fights but he has speed and courage. He has suffered greatly from similar hand problems in his career like Calzaghe, 4 operations so far on his right hand i think. This explains perhaps his lack of punching power, but there is the fact that he can quite easily grind out majority decisions as he has done in his last few fights against N'Dou and Ngoudjou (sp) a couple of tough africans. Hatton will win, but it will by no means be easy for Ricky, especially if he fights like he did against Lazcano. Malignaggi has the ability to move and counter more, unlike lazcano and he seriously shook Hatton on a couple of occassions.

bighusref Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't see this fight finishing early. Malignaggi has been in with Cotto who (IMO) is more of a puncher than Hatton. I think that Hatton will edge it, but it could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacBaker Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The only doubt i can see is that if Hatton batters him up and down the ring for a few rounds and cannae seem to knock him down, he might lose his discipline a little. That shouldnt happen though tbh. Hatton to win on a comfortable points decision for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lithuania Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Malignaggi is a very cocky fighter. I hope he gets broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenbo Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Wasn't an inspiring fight. Hatton controlled from start to finish, I dont like Paulie Malignaggi, he used every opportunity to hold onto Hatton when he had been caught. Still Hatton got the result I expected, albeit later than I thought. Thing is though, what does he do now? Will a fight with the Golden Boy be on the cards?

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hmmm Hatton seems to be tiring Hatton never looked tired at any point in the fight IMO. A vast improvement on his recent fights. Gutted that the fight was stopped in the 11th, as I had Hatton to win on points. Malignaggi was poor but never really in serious trouble, well in comparison to his fight with Cotto he wasn't.
