Paulie is an unpredictable fighter and so is Hatton as of late, making this a tougher call than anything over the past few weeks. Paulie fought valiantly and lasted all 12 against Cotto despite taking a vicious beating. Since then however, he's looked very pedestrian vs. Ngoudjo and N'Dou who he had shutout just a year before. Hatton has also struggled when he has stepped up his cometition. His biggest victories have come over fighters whom had seen their better days (Tszyu, Castillo). He also struggled with Colazzo whom I thought he only beat by 1 point. Even against Lazcano he looked just ok. It makes me think the KO loss to mayweather may have taken a lot out of him. Still I think he's got enough left to earn a decision by hitting and hugging his way to victory in a very uneventful fight.

If you would ask me 5 months ago i would say "WITHOUT A QUESTION HATTON" ive seen 3 of Paulies fights live and i am NOT impressed. He looked good in the Cherry fight but Horrible in the Herman Ngoudjo battle (which I and others in attendance figured he should of lost) The reason he won was due to his Manager DBella + this was a home fight for him ACity.
But this is the same kid that went 12 rounds with Cotto toe to toe (although this was not your avr. Cotto after shedding pounds to make this fight) Magic Man has the skills and the heart and as long as he does not get overconfident he has a shot.
He is fighting Hatton who got rid of his long time Trainer and the Hatton that we hear rumors almost pulled out of this fight because hes having very tough time making weight. - If there is any time Paulie could of fight Hatton it is this Saturday. Its his big chance and i am going to play a small bet on it and hope to see a good fight.
0-0

I wouldn't be shocked if Paulie did enough to win a decision, but why not better your payout by taking Paulie by decision? We know damn well he's not knocking Hatton (or anybody for that matter) out. Just a thought.

I am not a Big Fan of Hatton and was happy to see Money May make a fool of him (much bigger) but Hatton SHOULD beat Paulie.. not ruling out Mal. he can and will be the better boxer but hatton will wear him down he is not as big as a mayweather so that didnt work very well his tactics .. plus mayweather is nasty.. but shouldnt be a KO . possibly a few knock downs IMO .. Hatton is the safer bet if your gonna lay out some $$ but dont be suprised if Paulie pulls one out .. Looking foward to seeing Steve Molitor friday too ...

You would think so, but Hatton has been cut several times and also swells up very bad at times....

I just hope it's a good fight. Hatton with his tying up bullshit should have John Ruiz on the back of his trunks. That being said if they start booing the national anthem again in vegas I really hope the people in the crowd kick some Hatton ass
Imagine the balls to come to this country and boo our national anthem. They would be shot in some other countries and I would applaude that

Other picks I'm liking for tomorrow are Ben Tackie to beat up Hatton's bro @ -160. Also I might take a shot on Vera to expose Kirkland. He's nothing special and will be exposed as such sooner or later.....just not sure if it's going to be Vera to do the deed tomorrow.

Kidcole, having sat ringside for his last fight vs. Cortes, I can tell you that he's the real deal. His trainer, Ann Wolfe, is as good as they get and on top of that he's a freakish physical specimen. It remains to be seen how he'll fair against top notch competition, but I've been very impressed with what I've seen so far.

I still think he's a bit chinny, and can see him being a KO victim fairly soon. Also consider the Comp. He's got power no doubt, but it will be interesting to see what happens when he fights somebody who can take a punch or not get hit as often. Anne Wolfe flat out tortures her fighters doesn't she ?

My prediction is this will be a bad fight to watch. Both fighters like to hold. Hatton holds & hits== Paulie holds & runs. The only up side is it's not being peddled on PPV. Hatton probably wins a snooze-fest because Paulie has very little power in his punches to keep Hatton from coming forward. If it were a wrestling match (which it might turn out to be) I'd like Fatton even more. Bet the over.

I have a small bet on Hatton by KO/TKO/DQ +250. Just on the chance Hatton can land a good body shot and put Paulie down or Paulie's hands shatter to pieces.

Good call, nice cash.

Tough break kidcole. McGirt makes up for his ineptness training fighters with how compassionate he is. LOL, he really has become a joke. Why anyone would go to him to prepare for a big fight is beyond me.
