Ricky Hatton vs Paul Malignaggi

[longballs]

Really looking forward to this one, got the beers in early (Leffe) and I am looking at ladbrokes website now.

 

I fancy a win for Hatton between rounds 7-9 and can currently get 11/1 on that happening.

 

I can't stand Malignaggi and I hope Hattton shuts him up. I think that a fit/prepared Hatton will win easily, but it just depends whether his mind is right.

[Remmie]

Nailed on for a U/D for Hatton.

yea true, Malignaggi is very durable; nearly all of his fights go to a decision and I have to respect him for going the distance with Cotto (even though he got badly beat up). But, I fancy Hatton to stop him and 11/1 looks a good price.

[Ian Sea]

Hatton win for me, with either a late KO or a unanimous decision. I really hope Hatton wins, I have a great dislike for Malignaggi. Stupid hair, stupid accent, I hope he gets battered.

What time will the fight start?

 

I have the option of going down to Rileys who are showing it and can play some pool at te same time or I can watch it on a stream. It depends on the time though.

I think about 3am (ish)

Think I might stream it then!

It will be a third round knock out to Hatton. Whats the odds on that.

They say that so it doesn't sound too late but then undercard fight after undercard fight comes on until 4.30 comes around and its due on next but next is really 5am so that everyone is so pissed at this stage you decide to stay up because its only another 30mins away, so finally the fight comes on and you drink more and then it goes the distance so you get to bed around 6am twisted and knowing that you'll only be actually awake for about 6 hours on a Sunday.

 

Should be a good fight.

33/1 on a Hatton win in the 3rd

 

Rounds 1-3 16/1

Rounds 4-6 12/1

Yea, that's usually the way it goes :( Coverage starts at 2am and I to be honest and say I haven't checked the undercard yet but I am hoping for a 3-3:30am start.

Im gonna put ten on that i think. What day is the fight on?

What's the story with Hatton and his e trainer Billy Grahem?

 

I know they arted ways which is fair enough, but when Hatton was asked if he'd go fro a beer after the fight with Billy (who will be watching) he said he didn't want to talk about it. They have a big fall out?

[RobbieOR]

Ill stream it.

[memyselfandpie]

As much as I like Hatton as a fighter, I have a feeling Malignaggi will beat him.

 

It'll be interesting to see what style changes Ricky incorporates into his usual fighting style, if he can make the adjustments smoothly and the telling factor I think - will he be able to deal with Malignaggi's speed on top of it all.

 

I'm leaning towards a bit of an upset. Malignaggi in the fifth.

 

(But I hope Ricky Hatton knocks that Guido right out of his highchair).

They do seem to have fallen out. Although it does seem accepted that Graham couldn't stick the pace to hold the pads no more.

 

If Mr B orders the PPV on his box, then takes his box and card to MR C's house, will they then be able to watch it there, or what?

 

I am not sure why I ignored Mr A.

[Spy Bee]

Oh and Hatton body shot in 3, but probably 4 - game over. It'll be a single shot too.

[philyhamann]

Stream it, I went out to watch a fight in town once and fell asleep in a bush somewhere.

[WaltonRed]

It'll end up later than half 3.

 

Its on SKY isnt it?

 

I'm not paying for it after last time.

[longballs]

Boxing is a sport that must be viewed live. There is just not the same buzz when you watch it "as live" the next day without knowing the result.

[Guest simon]

I cant wait for this its on Saturday at 3 am right?

Technically it's Sunday at 3am. Saturday night/Sunday morning.

[Spy Bee]

Gutted! This starts on Radio 5 at 4.15am.

[Ian Sea]

I had a dream last night that Hatton KO's Malignaggi with a body shot in round 7.

[Remmie]

Yeah it's pretty hard to pick a start time with these fights what with undercard fights and lengthy entrances, not to mention any other miscellaneous delays. If 5live are plumping for 4.15am coverage I'd imagine it would start until at least 4.30. I'm hoping I can watch it over at a mate's house, but he does have 2 kids so may prove tricky.

[Spy Bee]

I don't know if I can be bothered to stay up that late. I'll be that pissed by then that I'll have to watch the telly with my eyes closed anyway.
