But Paulie's hands had wear and tear, so when it was hatton's turn to fight paulie it was nonexistent. Paulie's right hand was never there. Watch it again. His right hand rarely came out. Even if it did it wouldn't have hurt hatton. Powerless right hand. Watch it he was fighting with his left the whole time, not paulie's game or any fighter to come inand fight with one hand. But you can see he just couldn't use it, its injured for sure. He clearly knows he has no more right hand he was there for the money.
