The thing I found the best about Hatton-Malignaggi...

[skel1983]

I think Malignaggi held on to Hatton because of Hatton's reputation for wrestling. Maybe Bayless would assume it was Ricky doing the holding.

I think your being sarcastic there but the real reason was obviously Paulie felt Rickys power early on and didnt fancy feeling it again and went into survival mode when in close.

Hatton did GOOD last night!! That's one of the best performances I've seen out of the Hitman. He certainly proved that he isn't shot like I thought he was.

Sure, Paulie wasn't putting up much of a fight but he did win the first round so I think it was due to Ricky hurting him in that second. He just got extremely gun-shy after that so full credit to Ricky for shutting him down.

He did better than Cotto against Paulie. Great performance! Bring on Hatton vs Pacquaio

P.S. Did anyone see the Mayweather effect on Matthew Hatton?? Haha he was throwing those short counter uppercuts all night! I like that Ricky hasn't tried to emulate Floyd which happened with Oscar when Floyds dad took over training camp. Ricky was just a better version of himself last night.

I thought Hatton was amazing, he made hes country proud. He was like a new person. New tactics and new attidude. Can't wait to see him fight again.

Indeed lefty, Ricky showed he is the king of the 140 division once again. I pray Manny can outpoint De La Hoya so Ricky can fight Manny at HIS weight rather than someone elses.

I think Manny would be a capable fighter at 140 againsed Hatton.
