For a "boxer", Paulie gets hit waaay too easily and his defense isn't very good. Pablo Cesar Cano, who's slow and the same age as Broner, dropped Paulie and beat him up a bit in their last fight. I actually had Malignaggi losing that fight.
I don't think he can outbox Broner, and normally a guy would have a punchers chance, but Paulie has literally no power and not even the chance of landing a hail mary punch.
Sometimes the odd's cloud the facts...
A couple of years ago, I was convinced that Hatton would beat Pacquaio... In my mind, there was no sure win bet on the planet as good as a Hatton win...
When I came back to reality, I watched a rerun of the fight dozens of times.. and the truth is, Hatton was no where near the same level as Pacman.
So what about Broner and Malignaggi?? Can Paulie pull off an upset?
Positive: Malignaggi has got some impressive names on his record, he has mixed it with the very elite of the business.. He won't be intimidated by Broner trash talk... He's been there, and done it all before... Malignaggi may be the underdog, but I wouldn't rule him out just yet.
Negative; Malignaggi is not a knockout artist. With only 7 KO's racked up in his career so far, one would suspect that he is a light puncher.. This is not good when facing the likes of Broner who is known for landing big bombs on his opposition.
My forecast - Broner wins via KO
Broner by ko in 2 rounds.
Paulie's feather loaded gloves won't do much to *****, even if ***** is coming up 2 weight classes. There is a possibility though that he may win. I am in doubt though.
No come on don't be silly, Pauli is gonna be knocked out long before the 12th
this will be the easiest fight of broner's career
Broner is stepping up 2 weight classes and taking a huge step up in class.. Malignaggi doesnt fear Broner and he's fighting in front of his home crowd in Brooklyn,something tells me he has a big performance left in him. Maybe im crazy,maybe its the odds of 8-1 for a malignaggi win making me want to believe. You cant rule out a huge upset though maybe a majority decision win for Pauli? Thoughts?
