0203: On a side issue. Former British heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis says he will fight again if the price is right.
0200: Ok prediction time. I'm predicting a cracker, and a Ricky Hatton victory inside six rounds. Bold I know, but I just don't think Malignaggi has enough power to trouble Hatton. I've been very impressed by how focused Hatton seems this week also and I think he knows that defeat could spell the end of the Hitman. Ben Dirs has also gone for a Hatton victory, but by a unanimous points decision. What you saying?
0155:"The floor of the MGM Grand currently resembles Rochdale city centre. Just seen a man draped in a Union Jack necking a bottle of Bud no-handed."

0145: If you can't watch the fight, remember you can listen to commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live from 0400 BST. 606 is also open all night/morning and you can text in your views and comments to 81111. Remember to include your name so I can give credit, where credit is due.
0140: Morning/evening all. November has been a good month for British boxing. We have already seen Joe Calzaghe beat Roy Jones Jr on points. David Haye despatched of Monte Barrett inside five rounds. Can Ricky Hatton make it three wins out of three? Manchester's finest takes on New York's Paulie Malignaggi at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas. We are expecting things to get underway at about 0430 GMT, so stay with me and stay awake...it's going to be a cracker.
