I love boxing. I love the strategy, the head games, the athleticism, and of course the unparalleled drama it can offer. However tonight I'll be watching for another reason entirely. To put it simply, I want to watch Ricky "Hitman" Hatton and Pauli "Magic Man" Malignaggi beat the shit out of each other. It's not a matter of bloodlust, I just happen to dislike both fighters for various reasons and I think watching them beat the hell out of each other with their futures on the line is going to be quite enjoyable. Although both fighters enter with just one loss, both Hatton, the overindulgent Mancunian drunkard, and Malignaggi, Brooklyn's fragile-handed showman (or ponce, depending on which side of the pond you reside) are in desperate need of a convincing performance to move their stagnant careers forward. Continue after the jump for a preview of the main event as well as an undercard featuring the must-see youngster James "Mandingo" Kirkland and his terrifying and trailblazing trainer Ann(e) Wolfe.
