Thread: Hatton - Malinaggi confirmed!

22nd November LV.

Hatton UD

Las Vegas?

Don't understand the point in this. He wanted to top the bill at the Garden. Paulie aint really a big draw unless it's at the Garden.

Imo he should just get in there with Pac.

Yeah I thought the whole point in this fight was that Hatton could fight at MSG NYC b4 he retires. Otherwise I dont see the point . Its not as if Pauie looked great when we saw him in England vs Ndou . Nobody would be heartbroken if this fight didnt happen and Paulies got nothing Hatton wants so why doesnt Ricky have a superfight instead .

Initially I thought Ricky would do a similar job on Paulie to what Cotto did but after his win over Lazcano I think it may turn out to be another tough one. 55-45 in Hattons favour. . . . He should have gone for a Pac fight instead

I think Vegas has a love affair with Hatton.

He is well liked and he brings 20,000-30,000 fans that not only go to a fight but use the time as a holiday.

I just wonder how much money Hatton brings LV? Bars, casimos, local business.

Paulie is an unnecasarily awkward opponent IMO considering no one (including me) actually rates him. It's just going to be a frustrating night with Hatton chasing, andhopefully eke out a decision to set up a barn burner wiuth Pac.

I think style wise Hatton will present Paulie a lot of trouble he wont get a second to think.

Lets hope Cortez and Nady are kept away from Hatton.

If Hatton is so much better how will choice of ref make a difference? It shits me to tears that for every fight before the PBF fight Hatton had refs that let him get away with all kinds of fouling and holding, yet in one fight he slightly gets the raw end of the reffing and they never stop mentioning it. Get over it, great fighters learn to deal with refs that may not help them.

Tough decision made by Team Hatton. He could lose to the awkward Paulie. Paulie is also a tough nut (Cotto can't even stop the guy).

A very winable super fight against the smaller PAC is waiting but Team Hatton selected the Paulie fight for November instead of PAC.
