    Hatton vs Malignaggi

    Thoughts folks?

    Going for Hatton to win this one. Malignaggi is a slippery customer who shouldn't be taken lightly but he has a poor knockout ratio and doesn't appear to have a knockout punch.

    Late stoppage or points win for Hatton I reckon.

    Malignaggi has a poor knockout ratio however he is lightning fast and unloads 2 and 3 punch combos for fun. If Hatton gets frustrated and starts jumping in and trying to 'swarm' Malignaggi he could find himself in serious trouble as he will get hit a lot.

    Hatton has to work the ring, keep his chin tucked in, defend well and attack on the inside only when it's on. If there is to be a KO it will come from Hatton.

    Personally i think Hatton has to stop it early as the longer it goes the more it suits Malignaggi, so either a Hatton KO in the 4th or a close decision which could go either way.

    Really hope Hatton puts on a performance so he can get his shot at De La Hoya and bow out on a high in Britain.

    Got a feeling this will go right to the wire with RH sneeking it on points.

    On a seperate note, does anyone know if you have to be a skysports subscriber to watch Sky box office? - I have Virgin Cable but don't subscribe to any of the sports channels (except Setanta), someone at work mentioned that you need to be a skysports subscriber to watch any event on Sky box office?

    Sky box office is a pay per view channel. You go to the channel it will give you some instructions to phone them and pay for the fight.

    Don't think you need to subscribe to the sports channels. It is like setanta hope this helps

    looking forward to this one, Malignaggi gets talked up a lot and failed to live up to it at Hattons homecoming.

    ill take a hatton win, possibly knockout in the later rounds

    mon the hitman

    Craig McEwan. A very tough fight for him tonight, but he can do it.

    Preview show that's on just now said 3ish.

    The guy Hatton's wee brother's fighting is a decent fighter isn't he? Ben Tackie - I've heard of him so I'm assuming he's decent.

    we've got it that they'll make their way to the ring at 0330. I'm sitting in work booking the box office events now. Finish at 12
    Tackie has fought hatton snr in the past, which is why you may recognise the name

    How're sales going? Are you giving any freebies away yet?

    Or even just switching it on in someone's house and not charging them?

    lol, impossible unfortunately. Was really busy around 2100 as the show started, but gone really quiet again now. some people are on till 0400, so it will probably get busy again as the drunks get in from the pub.

    I can't wait till 12 tho. My beer fridge is calling.

    Think you might be out of luck mate, a few of my regular sites are all down, had a similar problem with Calzaghe a few weeks ago. Bought it on box office this time. The hitman is usually worth the money.

    wonder how boxers feel nowadays about the poncy fluffy shorts they wear(not that i would ask one to his face likes) naggi looks like he's got a skirt on over his shorts bring back the old days

    Apart from the first far to easy for Hatton so far. Malinaggi hates any pressure on him and punches like a fairy.

    i thought naggi was gonna hit his trainer when he pulled him out

  30. #29
    That was pretty ****. If I was Naggi i would not be happy right now either.

    Great performance by Hatton, pity Malignaggi was hell bent on spoiling the fight with his running and grabbing.

    If Malinaggi is the 2nd best light welterweight in the world then Hatton is going to dominate for as long as he feels like it.
