"Hatton's Last Fight with Malignaggi breakdown"

[Spoon23]

What would you say is a bigger hinderance....sore right hand or being severley weight-drained.

Collazo fractured his hand against Mosley yet people give Shane credit for it.

Paulie broke his right hand against Cotto yet everyone claims how good a beat down it was (it was quite a close fight on the cards).

So yeah, good post

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

Dude! you are embarrassing yourself...

Weight has a lot to do with body type & age. Ocsar was more 'natural' at 160/154 for his size a maturity. The advantage Pacquiao had going into the fight is that Oscar would have to be 'weight drained' to step into the ring at 147. At 35 years of age he needed the body fat to draw energy from. The intensity level and stress leading up to the fight looks like it wreaked havoc on Oscar. His nutritionist fuked up and left Oscar with no energy for the fight. He's what 2% body fat? 4% to 6% is a proper number for a guy in his prime.
