Hatton vs Malignaggi....Opinions please

[Longy]

Hatton to win in the 9th

Damn - I'm in agreement with Nem!!

Yeah but it is nothing to do with Spurs, so there is a chance Nem might be right.

not only is it a bad bet, it's also a really, really bad bet

just checked the odds and the worst available on malignaggi is 2.75 at PP, wh and sj.

3.3 available on betfair

So its a good bet for me to take right?!

if you like ripping your mates off then take the bet and lay it off immediately. if not then point him towards the better odds

nah that's not me at all. a tad unfair of you to suggest that but I can understand your thinking. He ONLY places bets via will hill. His sports/poker roll is in there and he wont open any other accounts for many reasons so I sometimes take bets that he would otherwise place with them. We're both gamblers and understand that we're gonna win and lose money - we would much rather each other wins when the other loses than the bookies getting it. I can honestly say its never even affected our friendship in the slightest and we aren't betting amounts where its gonna affect our day to day.

Plus, if i take the bet, I guarantee you I'm not laying it anywhere.

Watched the sky sports 1 hour documentry on Malignaggi last night, we interesting. One thing Malignaggi wont do it give up he seems to dig deep and give 100% even when cut, beatup and battered. Should be good fight.

if you really want to take this bet and your mate's happy with it you'd be crazy not to take the 1k and put it on the exact same bet at any of the many bookies/exchanges offering better odds. not doing so is akin to burning money

Hatton on points, deffo.

Malignaggi is a classy boxer, with a world class chin, but no power. There is a myth that fancy boxers can dance for 12 rounds against bruisers and win the title, this wont happen. Hatton has the perfect style to walk through pitta-patter boxers like Maliignaggi and grind out a points win through sheer workrate, he wont knock him out because a superb defense and superb chin will see the final bell, but the yanks judge on aggression and hatton will appeal to this (FYI, Hatton lost to Mayweather because Mayweather was too strong, not because he 'outmanouvered' him like Malignagi is planning to)

Ive seen Hatton at nearly evens for a points win, snap it up, awesome valooooo.

You don't think that Hatton could stop Malignaggi?  With his relentless attacks and his body shots, I think he can wear Malignaggi down and stop him in the middle/late rounds.  Malignaggi's other problem is that he likes to get involved too much with fighters, instead of boxing them.  He isn't going to win a toe-to-toe battle with Hatton, and I think that's what it'll become.  Hatton will definitely try to impose himself in the fight, and the stoppage isn't improbable for me.

He certainly could, but generally I would say he has a better chin than 95% of Hattons previous opponents and a better defence than 95% of his opponents, he will also do what most boxers in his position will do in the late rounds and try and coast (as he wont be able to stop hatton late and may convince himself he is ahead because he isnt in pain). Hatton could KO him late on (9th is a good time to do it btw) but I think most of the time he makes the final bell and convinces himself he did a lot better than he actually did.

If i lay it how much do i make? Not even a few hundred quid. No point

I get that you can lay off £750 and guarantee yourself £250 profit - to most people thats worth doing.

Alternatively place the whole £1,000 for Malignaggi to win and either break even or win £1,000 with no risk!

Unless you are lighting your fags with tenners then you'd be daft not to.

I'd like to say that's where the smart money is.  But me, you and Nem...?

[cia260895]

Malignaggi will have no answer for hatton especially if he keeps his hands low whilst bobbing in and out.

Hatton to have him down 3 times b4 the eventual K/O in the 8th

hatton should win

more interested in de la hoya v pacman, pacman at 2/1 seems very interesting.

The 3.2 on Malinaggi is very tempting...
