This

Mallignagi gets a raw deal because of his power. And he is one tough, tough bastard. For all the talk and gimmicks he comes in to the ring with, he is still a skilful and tough fighter.
Ok he's outspoken but most what he says is true. Like when he was hurt by herman ndoujou, in the interview he asked if it looked bad. Now that's honesty..he didn't beat around the bush to make himself look good or give excuses.
I picked him to beat hatton because i felt that he would have been more offense minded. He was too negative in that fight and hatton loved it.
I still don't think he's a gate keeper just yet.
