in defense of paulie ...

the magic man has looked crap in his last two fights -
true however herman (cnt spell 2nd names so going by first haha) in my opinon is a rising star, unlucky against two big names but i really believe he would beat timmothy bradly despite also imo bradly having a good deal of potential. paulie fought what i tohught was a very good fight in the end against cotto and looked near unhittable in his first fight vs lovemore. he has had two bad fights i admit that but for example for you english guys i read in the daily mail today - hatton would struggle against the top 6 or 7 light welters but against maginalli or however u spell it he will be fine. i mean how the fuck is paulie not in the top 5 even 3??!?!??

i was at the fight on saturday and like is aid he did look bad but imo he is still the future of the light welters. herman will take a belt also and bradly i think can be outworked and doesnt have the power to be a long term champion.

but yeah all in all just wanted to state me prediction for the future - paulie gives hatton nightmares and loses a close desision, i think theres alot more in the powderpuffs tank yet lol

The article said Hatton can't with the top 6 or 7 light-welters?

After that bullshiit hair incident, Paulie doesn't deserved to be defended.

His hair looked better by the end.

Can't believe he tried to pass the blame onto N'Dou because he was apparently messing it up.

Are Hatton fans also promotors now? You guys kill me. The division looks pretty weak right now in my opinion.

To be fair VD he does need to be defended , because after watching him on Saturday night he doesnt have any defence himself lol;D;D;D
As for the hair, well he may go down as the biggest idiot in boxing history.

I was full praise for paulie before the fight. So Im not gonna rip into him on this showing,despite it being the most stupid thing iv'e ever seen.

I think he can be a realy good champion.I dont fancy him at al against hatton though.How is going to keep him off him.If hatton is allowed to hold it's just a case of. Walk up, grab hold,punch a bit,break, repeat.

Just cant see how anyone can defend mag after saturday

He made a pigs ear of an opponent who not a few months before he had performed a complete shut out against and seemed to freeze under the spotlight of a big audience a complete reverse of what he did against cotto.

But for a couple of close rounds ndou would of performed one of boxings biggest turnarounds and for that i just cant believe ndou suddenly upped his game to a whole new level to before and have to put it down to paulie completely freezing under the pressure.

Hatton eats this guy for breakfast unless he finds the old form that saw him go 12 with cotto.

It's so bad, i'd give Lazcano a decent shot at beating all the main titlists.

It's real weak imo.

Maybe even Carlos Maussa could drop back down and unify :D

Hatton dominates 140.

I think you're overrating Ngoudjo (?) personally but either way

Herman aint a bad fighter, he'll pick up a strap down the line. He beats Kotelink 7 days a week.

Ngoudjo has yet to be shut down, he is definately an exciting fighter at 140. I think Hatton vs. Ngoudjo would be the most exciting fight at 140 right now. At this point Hatton would still win, but Ngoudjo would be there all night long.

no doubt id say herman after only 18 fights i think? looks very very good for the future

No doubt. I wonder how long it will be for him to live down the losses he was robbed with.

As for Paulie, he is making a mockery of championship boxing with the hair incident, he's been extremely metro in the ring, which is fine, but this was overboard. Surely there's a rule somewhere about extensions. Paulie has not impressed me lately maybe it's his hands and just too screwed up, maybe he is just too distracted. Whatever it is he has not performed well lately.

While I agree Paul Malignaggi is one of the best 140lb fighters in the world I have to admit he brings the criticism upon himself. You can't be as outspoken as he is then not expect people to look for any little reason to poke fun at you or try to take you down a notch or two.

The hair thing was just a bone head move. At minimum he should have made sure it was wrapped in a tight bun like Lennox Lewis and Shannon Briggs used to do. That incident will follow him forever.

I just really don't want this to be the face of the future of boxing.
