Paulie did nothing but hold all night but Hatton has a damn cheek complaining to a ref about anybody holding.

McGirt did the right thing - Paulie had no chance of winning and was starting to get busted up.

Hatton's stamina looked better than it has in recent fights. BUT it's a lot easier to come on late when your opponent is getting weaker and you are wll on top.

Paulie = limited.
Ricky = less limited.


I honestly believe that Bradley or Witter would beat Hatton now.

Am I being harsh? Yes Ricky looked better, but Malignaggi was always a safe fight for him IMO. The guy can't punch.

The only thing i can agree with here is that Bradley is a real threat to Hatton.

IMO, Bradley does everything that Hatton has been working on, but better, and IMO he packs a bigger dig, is just as fit and is twice as hungry.

Im not saying he'd beat Hatton but im saying it now that i would not be suprised at all!



Hatton did look good though... He's boxing was just fine tuned. Finally adjusted to the higher level of opponent. Not since the Olivera fight have i seen him show that kind of sharpness... And that was against an old fighter so i am impressed.

Greig just to reiterate, i dont think Hatton is showing anything new but he is just showing old skills, fine tuned . Kinda like how all of a sudden Cotto was back to boxing against Mosley.... Just not as good

I never really had any doubts about the Mayweather/ Hatton partner ship and im sure they'll move forward together and work towards making Hatton even better in his next outing.
