Paulie didn't fight to win...he didn't box, he didn't move, he stood there and took punch after punch....fucking wop (no offense to you Italians... I use the term in jest).

Ricky crawled back to 140 because it's the only place he can win
Didn't see it that way. I thought Paullie won the first, but realised he couldn't handle Hatton's power from that shot in the second.

It wasn't that he didn't fight to win, it was that he couldn't win, hence the spoiling tactics. Hatton has serious power from the lefts he throws. Paullie didn't know what happened - he'd gone. Hatton did a good job on him.

To me a boxer that doesn't fight to win, spoils from the start.

Anyway, great performance by Hatton. Questions have been answered in the best way possible.
