I have always been a closet bandwagon guy for Pauli. I think he has a great shot to win the title from N'Dou. A matchup with him and Hatton would be interesting. Something tells me Pauli's speed would pose a problem for Ricky. What do you guys think?:dunno:
:flip: :flip: :flip: I guess I had that one coming though:: N'Dou is tough, but I think Paulie has the boxing edge here. He has pretty good whiskers as shown against Cotto. I pick Paulie by UD. A good entertaining fight as well:clap:
I think Paulie will have a tuff time with ndou, but i think he wil come out with the win in a some waht close fight. The shit talkin from both fighters has already began, i saw a Ndou interveiw and Malignaggis.
I didn't like the way Malignaggi looked in February. He started strong but he slowed pretty bad towards the end. I wonder if he's still feeling the effects of Cotto's punches.
He slowed torwards the end, but I give more credit to Cotto's body attack than anything. I thought Paulie showed some grit and heart. If I remember the crowd did too:bears:
IMO, N'Dou won't be able to do the same. He doesn't have the strength that Cotto has, and therefore won't be able to counter Paulie's speed.
huh? he was walking Cotto down when they fought. N'dou is nothing if not strong. so far, he's the only guy who has managed to back Cotto up on a consistent basis.
Paulie earned my respect in the Cotto fight. I no longer hate him. I think he'll beat Ndou also, by very close decision. Dont think he could beat Ricky Ruiz though. The grappling ghost would be too strong, and active for him.
Same here i think if he beats Ndou. He should try and fight Torres, because that is a very winable fight for him. Then go for a fight with Hatton.
REED likes MOST Overtly ARROGANT Fighters & Malignaggi is No Exception to that Rule... REED Thinks N'Dou is Gonna Beat Paulie,However...A PRIME Sharmba Mitchell COULDN'T Keep N'Dou OFF of him OR Keep his Distance FROM him... How's Paulie Gonna do it??? REED:dunno:
If he ever fights Hatton, he should study the Floyd/DLH fight. If he used the same strategy, he would have a great chance of beating Hatton.
He WASN'T Faaaaar from it,Brother X... REED would Argue that Sharmba was @ the Tail End of his Prime,N the N'Dou Fight...Sharmba just didn't LOOK Particularly Well that Night... REED
Sharmba seemed to age 10 years overnight. He looked so good in his first fight with Zoo(until the injury) and IMO he never looked that good again.
i pick N'dou in this fight. from what i've seen of him, he's ruthless. and angles and movement don't work on him because he's basically a dog in there that goes after you. and that's exactly what you need to do to get to maliginaggi. paulie will try to hold him but it won't work. the only way he wins is if N'dou is now shot somehow - he's been in tough a lot so it's a possibility.
I wish i could disagree but i havent seen Ndou other then his highlights with Ben Rabah and Ben rabah is a good boxer n Ndou beat him down. I still think Paulie has a good shot of beating this guy.
Why is this for a title? What happened to Hatton? He gets stripped for fighting Castillo instead of N'dou?
