Hatton should beat Paulie easy :thumbsup:
Malignaggi Ready for Hatton in the Fall
Paulie MalignaggiBOSTON (May 30, 2008) – IBF junior welterweight champion Paulie “The Magic Man” Malignaggi (25-1, 5 KOs) successfully underwent hand surgery this past Wednesday (May 28) to repair a fractured metacarpal bone of the middle finger on his right hand, suffered during his title-defense win by 12-round decision against Lovemore N’dou last Saturday in Manchester, England.
Renowned boxing hand specialist, Dr. Steven Margles, operated on Paulie at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Massachusetts. Dr. Margles has also repaired the hands of former world champions Vinny Paz, “Irish” Micky Ward and Harry Simon, to name a few of his more notable boxing patients.
“I was able to stabilize with minimally evasive treatment,” Dr. Margles explained. Not opening it doesn’t disrupt the blood supply in the fracture, so it will heal faster. It was well stabilized with two pins for a slightly displaced fracture that was manipulated into a satisfied position. We starting him on an ultrasonic stimulator, which will further speed the healing. Paulie will be in a cast for six weeks.”
“I’m feeling good,” Malignaggi reported. “The surgery wasn’t as bad as I’ve had before. Come this fall I’ll be at my best for Hatton. Dr. Margles is the best in the business at what he does. It was frustrating because it affected my performance against N’dou. I couldn’t explode, but I beat a tough fighter with one hand, which should prove that I belong at the highest level in the junior welterweight division.”
Malignaggi reviewed the fight tape and discovered that he suffered the injury with 40-45 seconds left in the sixth round, when threw a straight right to the body that ricocheted off N’dou’s elbow. “From there on it was a mess,” Paulie added. “Unfortunately, I’ve had this happen so many times that I knew it was broken. Ricky Hatton better be ready in the fall. He didn’t look at his best; I didn’t fight my best. I expect both of us to bring our A game, but my A game is better than Hatton’s, and everybody will see that.”
Malignaggi’s promoter, Lou DiBella, added, “We’re thrilled that Paulie’s surgery was a success and that Dr. Margles was able to work his magic. “We’re looking forward to a showdown with Ricky Hatton in the fall to determine the King of the 140-pounders.”

Who cares about the fight, imagine the haircut :laugh::laugh:
Malignaggi wasnt ready for N'dou or Ngoudjo, hes not ready for Hatton. Hatton didnt show the best of the chins last time around, but paulie has no power to exploit that. In the other hand Hatton has the tools to exploit paulies mistakes..
Exactly...Malignaggi can't expose Hatton. Hatton can expose Malignaggi :thumbsup:Malignaggi wasnt ready for N'dou or Ngoudjo, hes not ready for Hatton.

Paulie will never be the king of the 140 pounders. But he definitely is the queen.

The reason I say it BigDigga is because Malignaggi punching isn't going to get Hatton's respect. We will find out soon enoughso, you think hatton pretty much dominates him huh? he could, but i doubt it. we'll find out soon enough
Hatton can fight like a crackhead and have no worries about getting hurt. He'll use his PCP style and maul Paul.

if paulie had a little pop in his punches i think he would be able to pull an upset. i'm expecting hatton to win a clear decision.The reason I say it BigDigga is because Malignaggi punching isn't going to get Hatton's respect. We will find out soon enough
