dunno - it was on Sky Sports One last night - probably already on youtube - was a long show about and hour and a half I think.

Interesting but cringrworthy - the soon to be Mrs. Sligobhoy couldnt believe watch she was watching. I havent seen her curl her face up like that since the early day interviews of Junior Misser.

It was interesting to see him in Gleesons - him and Duddy - as chalk and cheese as you could get - but still both big ticket sellers - just shows ya that you you gotta be a real a-hole or ultra nice guy in this industry to get along. Bland and good apparently just doesnt cut it.

What are you talking about,they guy is a legend.he is hilarious.

You have to respect anyone who took such a beating off cotto and made 12 rounds,I have never seen that much damage done to a fighter.

The real crime is that its not Malignaggi V Hatton,cause pauli would win.He was unlucky against cotto that he got cut so bad in the first round and then managed to get his jaw broken.He might not have won but he would have done alot better.

He is cocky but not mayweather cocky,I think he is a breath of fresh air and one of the fastest white fighters ive ever seen,he has a bright future and I expect him to beat fight hatton and beat him soon.

Ye I seen Magic Man last night on sky sports,

Im not a big fan of Malinaggi he is making a name for himself
from his mouth and dont think he is as good as he says he is,
Iv seen alot of his fight at in his last fight againts Herman Ngoudjo
I belive he should of lost that fight Ngoudjo got robbed but credit
to Malinaggi for lastin the 12 rounds with Cotto he showed he has a
good chin and great heart in that fight,
But I think if he does retain his IBF title on saturday and when Hatton
beats Lazcano that Hatton could be the first to knock Malinaggi out
I realy can only see Hatton beatin Malinaggi.

Hatton is genuinely class, if you dont see that then your missing a few screws!!

yeah,he is a good boxer but he can be beaten and there are a number of fighters lurking around his weight division that I think would beat him inc Malignaggi,cotto,Mayweather and De La Hoya.

joepenguin

will be good to see them both 2mo night. If cotto couldnt knock Mallignaggi out then he must have a good chin, and if Ricky continues to struggle in the latter half of the fight who knows.
Id say Hatton takes him though

Paul, I was at one stage Hatton's biggest admirer, but I overrated him, just like the British did/do. He showed tremendous stamina in that bout V Lazcano, but man was he on the verge of being stopped had Lazcano a decent punch and a little extra gas. Lazcano was game, but hardly special and still he wobbled and troubled Hatton on several occasions. Hatton lacks the real KO shot and usually has to break and wear his opponents down. If his opponent has a hard body and decent chin, then Hatton will have to go the distance. I do believe that Ricky is overrated and the hype surrounding him is not warranted. PBF proved this with relative ease.

As for Mallinagi!!!

What was the story with his corner allowing him enter the ring with
that hairstyle. The hair IMO cost him a couple of rds and he could have been KO'd
because he couldn't see at some points in the fight. He has a very good chin and I think
Hatton will find him a real tough puzzle...

i dont know if there is any rules for what hair styles these boxers can have?
as for women boxers ive seen alway seems to have their hair tied up.
And yes mallinagi did lose some round because of his hair,surely he should have known better that it will cause distractions?
imo the way Hatton fought the other night would worry mallinagi as i found him not that great when he fought Lovemore.

I'm still a big fan but fear that he is at the end of his game, some finish up earlier than others! he does lack ko power, so a solid body and it will go to points!

i believe lazcano would of knocked him out only for the ref gave ricky a big break! dont know how no one else mentioned this..

Mallinagi, what a joke!
i think Hatton will beat him to be honest..

Spot on Paul, the ref gave Ricky a break, plus the tying of the laces. Had this not occurred, Hatton
could have been KO'd. His chin IMO isn't as good as I initially thought.

I fear for Hatton if faced with a decent puncher who is close to his prime; Lazcano is on the slide big time and not a heavy hitter...

I must say, the scene set in City's ground was spectacular. I have seen many big fights on
big stages; but what was on display on Saturday night in City's stadium was
the best I have ever seen. It was mesmerising, and especially the aerial shots of the
full stadium, its vastness, atmosphere, electricity and capacity. I can only imagine what Wembley or Croker
would be like if that effort was put in for them and a big fight...

If pauli fights the way he is capable,then he can just emulate mayweather as he is one of the only boxers who is capable of that sort of speed.

Pauli if he beats hatton it will be on points,he hasnt got the power but he doesnt need it,I think his speed will upset hatton and when they fight there could be an upset.

when he fought cotto he was heavy underdog 6/1,if he fights ricky,who wont knock him out,then he can jab all day and use his speed.I would expect pauli to be around 3/1 and I will deffo be placing money on him.

Mallignagi wont knock down hatton like mayweather did but it will go the distance and I would always favout the younger man in the latter stages.Hatton can go but in fairness lascano was like a punching bag for some of the latter stages,he threw back some punches but couldnt hold control like a fitter younger fighter will.

I'm not too sure that Paulie won't or can't knock down Hatton...

Hatton has shown in his last two fights now, how susceptible he
is in the chin department and both PBF and Lazcano wouldn't be
exceptional or close to exceptional punchers.

If Paulie has the chin, which it looks like he does; and possesses a hard body, he will IMO defeat Hatton, who is just too one dimensional. Jumps in and attacks the body. Has no real outside game.

I'm not so sure about that either. I haven't seen a whole lot of Malignaggi, but what I did see on Saturday night was Hatton being caught quite easily in the face, and being hurt a couple of times. I think because of Hatton's style he leaves himself open to being tagged, I don't think it was a fluke Mayweather knocked him out, I can see Hatton being knocked out again before he finishes his career.

Hatton's punch resistance seems to be fading to me , never before had he been hurt by single shots(to the head) up until his last two fights .

In the Mayweather bout it seemed to be a case of just being hit too clean by the bigger man , who was doing a number on him anyway .

But against Lazcano(who was a pretty decent banger at Lightweight , but still...) he was badly hurt on two occasions in the fight from single counters .

Collazo did have him hurt in the 12th of their fight but it took 6/7 clean shots on the chin to get him there , against Tszyu he ate punches all night from a man who was a massive puncher at the weight and a very clean and crisp puncher at the weight . He took shots from Tackie fine , Maussa whenever he landed didn't faze Hatton at all . Phillips couldn't hurt him when he caught him clean either , and Phillips had a good dig .

Signs are there in Hatton that weren't there before , his style inside the ring has caused him a lot of wear , his lifestyle outside it has made things even worse .

I don't think he'll be at the top(of what is a pretty poor division) for more than 2 years , as I sense he is starting to fade . A younger Hatton would have stopped Lazcano , and wouldn't of been hurt either .

Fortunately for Hatton Malignaggi can't crack an egg , he may have dropped N'Dou in their first fight but that was more to do with N'Dou being off balance . Malignaggi has had a lot of hand trouble(shown again last Saturday) and he doesn't load up on his shots so he isn't going to be hurting Hatton .

He was able to take a beating off Cotto and get through , but he did become less and less effective in that fight as Cotto wore him down . I feel Malignaggi would cause a lot of problems for Hatton , however I wouldn't see him beating him .

walshb

that lifesttle of his is playing its part. Though Paulie isn't seen as a big puncher, he still throws lovely fast and crisp shots. That's all it might need to really hurt Hatton. I can say that Paulie poses a lot more danger than Lazcano; whom was far too inconsistent in the bout and not busy enough. Lazcano was allowing Hatton 'get off' all night and dictate the pace. Paulie has superior movement, which is what really bothers Hatton.
