I do remember Malignaggi saying after the Hatton fight in an interview i saw on youtube that when Buddy said for him to do something or he was gonna stop the fight he didn't take him seriously, he thought he was just trying to spur him on and when Buddy did stop the fight he was like 'wtf!?' which is why he was pissed. So you'd be spot on about the disconnect between him and his fighters
