(Sports Network) - Ricky Hatton scored an 11th-round technical knockout of Paulie Malignaggi Saturday night in a one-sided bout.
In the fight for the lesser-known IBO light welterweight title, Hatton (45-1) drew blood from under the left eye of Malignaggi (25-2) by landing a solid right in the second round. The "Hitman" continued to apply the pressure throughout the fight as denoted by a 99-25 connect advantage in power punches.
A left hook caught Malignaggi in the eighth round and in the 11th referee Kenny Bayless separated the fighters in the early moments. That's when Malignaggi's trainer came into the ring at the 28-second mark to throw in the towel.
Malignaggi endured a series of painful hand injuries in round two of what ended as a split-decision verdict over challenger Lovemore N'Dou this past May, but he was no match for Hatton.
Hatton, who was coming off a unanimous decision win over Juan Lazcano in May, was left with a big welt under his left eye, but had the victory.
