Power vs. Precision: Ricky Hatton vs. Paulie Malignaggi

---

After sharing a May billing in Manchester, lineal Super Lightweight Champion Ricky Hatton and Paulie Malignaggi square off in a unique match of styles. Malignaggi boxes well in the opening round, but Hatton turns the tide for good when he hurts him with a big right hand in the second round that also opens a cut under Malignaggi's left eye. Fighting for the first time under the tutelage of trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., Hatton pounds on Malignaggi for the rest of the bout, punishing him with some left hooks in the seventh round. Just seconds into the eleventh and without his fighter in any immediate danger, Buddy McGirt throws in the towel on Malignaggi, who responds by shoving his trainer and breaking down in the ring.
