I'm just as excitied as i am for any other non superevent type of fight. I wouldn't pay to see it, but i'll be there right on the couch as i am for any fight i get the chance to see pro or amature.

Sort of ionterested, otherwise wouldn't be on this thread. just don't see it as really meaningful, never rated paulie, if Hatton could really show something it would make for a build up for a more meaningful fight in the future against a Pac.

I'm very interested in the fight. Good contrast of style and a lot on the line for both fighters. Neither can afford a loss at this stage of their careers. They should both be highly motivated. Ricky knows by now that he is a 140lb fighter and the best he can do is rule that division until he's had enough. Paulie knows he can't bang up at 147, and he wants to be the man at 140.

I think both fighters were looking past their last opponents, and I suspect we'll see the best fight out of both than we've seen in a while. It's a well made match. It's a fight that needs to happen, and the winner is the king of the LWW's. How can I not be interested?

I just hope both show up in peak form, and on top of their games. If that's the case it has the potential to be a very good fight. I still think
Malignaggi isn't able to adjust and adapt like he did in the past, which should IMO make this a one sided affair. I really hope I'm wrong though.

Regardless of my opinion this is the most important fight at 140 that can be made this minute, so Kudos for making it happen.

Hatton opted to push through with this fight instead of a mega fight with the Pacman. Paulie also not open to the idea of step aside money.

I guess both protagonists considered this fight important but only few fans were really interested in this fight.

BTW Vegas bookmakers installed Hatton as a 5 to 1 favorite.

I agree. Slick Paulie has a big chance of outpointing Hatton. What a whooping winnings!

[Tito BHB]

I should have said 5-2 instead of 5-1 in favor of Hatton. 5 to 2 still a good bet for Paulie I think...

From a purist perpective this is a great match up. Not only is it a great contrast of styles but it's my favorite contrast of styles. Brawler verses quick footed boxer.

I've grown to love Hatton but i love Paulie's style

[Puya]

I do. I want to see what Hatton has left.

If either wins who should they fight?
