Dlh wasn't weight drained at all that fight he was just slim from eating kangaroo meat. He was floating around 145lbs during his training as seen on 24/7. A weight drained fighter has to lose extra poundage on the day of the weigh-in. In his case he was not, even ricky mentioned in sentana sports Dlh looked fabulous in the weigh-in. looks hydrated pretty well during the weigh-in.
But if you ask me which is a bigger hindrance, depends really how much he has to lose on the day of the weigh-in. But fighting with 1 hand in boxing is like playing basketball or golf with one hand. You just can't play good. Hence, having a 1 handed fighter is like fighting a novice really. Paulie had no chance for Hatton on that night. He was just their for the money. Hatton should have stopped him even earlier really.
Paulie was cherry picked, as a confidence booster for hatton![]()
