Thread: Hatton - Malignaggi face off!!

Some pics i nicked from the Hatton site.

All i got to say is WTF is that jacket Ricky!!

Couple more of Ricky and cheif sparring partner Steve Forbes, and Rickys guest of houour the late Diego Corrales wife Michelle.

just come on here to post some i got from Hogan photos

this one below was the one that intrested me the most....

Ricky looks like shit, double chin, hands look like he has been punching a fence in anger and his skin looks shit.

Malignaggi looks like hes ready to fight tomorrow.

OK i know ricky always looks like shit inbetween fights and this is an over hyped easy defence.... BUT I THINK HES GONNA GET STUFFED.

the hunger has gone IMO and the easy money fights and milking the loyal fans are here... but for me he's gonne lose.

added to that he didnt turn up for one of the PC and this is a fight he would win hands down in the past...but he looks like shit and its all about the $$$.

Malignaggi all the way for me as he wants it more

Ricky does look like shit and i think you might be right, there could be an upset, i was looking at the bookmakers odds and when this fight was first announced it was like Ricky at 1/5 on, now he is 2/5 which shows not a great deal of confidence in Rickys chances.

I got a gut feeling that this is where Rickys career comes to an end, i really hope im wrong but when was the last time he did a solid 12 rounds like the one against Kosta? Yes thats right that fight over three years ago.

I dont like this 5 weeks over here 5 weeks over there training bullshit either, i mean Ricky is not the most disciplined of fighters at the best of times, look at his admissions on the Collzao fight where he said he was eating shit leading upto the fight because he didnt have to be strict about the weight coming off.

I think with him not having Graham and Kayes there everyday and him training some weeks in Manchester and some in Vegas it might be the wrong thing to do.

Also this no show at the original press confrence? Bit dodgy if you ask me, cant be certain but he was fine the same night and watched the fight between Marquez and Cassamayor? Dont want to start speculating as we have no evidence but was Ricky on the beer the night before?

got to agree mate... say what you want about Billy Graham, but he would kick his arse and tell him some home truths when needed.

he now answers to himself and it shows BIGTIME

I agree on all counts. He does not look good in that photo. I find it hard to believe he has the motivation to train as hard as he did for Floyd, and even then I don't think he was in the best shape he's ever been.

Some day,the between fight siesta's will catch up with Hatton.Certainly hope it does not come verse Paulie.I actually thought Hatton was shite-faced during his live interview with Mario Lopez.........just messy.

We won't know if it shows properly until he gets in the ring. IMO Hatton will destroy Paulie.

IMO paulie better tuck that chin in and thicken his make up coz ricky is gonna send all the residue flying. ricky trains hard when he's preparing for a fight so powerpuff better step up too. IMO ricky flattens paula along with his spikes

Jacket looks canny. Its a darn site better than the cheap and nasty Lonsdale/Affliction clothes he usually has on.

Wasnt it true Hatton missed the presser on account of an illness?

To me he looks just like a guy who recently got over the flu.

Ricky's finer days may be slipping behind him, but he's going to beat the everliving bejeesus out of Paulie.

look how fat his hands are

Lots of Paulie pics and not an extension in sight!! This is good news.
I wanted this fight for a long time, but after their recent performances, I think Hatton is gonna take a wide UD over the Magic Man.
And directly after that try for a guest appearance on Miami Vice II

Hatton wins this in my opinion but i wouldn't be shocked to see Paulie win as he has got balls he proved that vs Cotto.

Yes Ricky is looking a bit rough but he always does in between fights.


In the past he has always proved the doubters wrong where it counts,in the ring.


We will know for certain on fight night.
