I'm loving this...Paulie is taking an ass kicking. He's getting hurt from jabs. Paulie should be ready to go. Hatton's ripping him with good shots underneath when in close.
mayweather sr is far from a great trainer, but he has clearly helped hatton. not a huge surprise considering the previous void hatton had in his corner
looks like hatton's in good shape. his handspeed is still there and is still a monster at 140. but then again, malignaggi has zero power.
