Comments Thread For: Malignaggi vs Chaves Mandatory Ordered By The WBA

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The World Boxing Association has ordered WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7KOs) to face his mandatory challenger Diego Chaves (22-0, 18KOs). The negotiations period starts today, January 24th, and will close on the 23rd of February 2013. If the two sides are unable to reach an agreement, then the WBA will order a purse bid date. Malignaggi is scheduled to return on April 27th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Malignaggi was going to face Shane Mosley, but their match fell through due to a financial disagreement. Chaves has the WBA's interim-crown at 147 and first captured that title last July.

Says in the article that he got the Interim last July...around the same time Paulie won the belt. I think he was supposed to fight him after Cano but they were just *****footing around it

Dude is pretty meat-and-potatoes from what I just saw of him. His handspeed ain't bad and he looks to counter a bit, but he's not very accurate.

Paulie is shot but could probably handle him, if he doesn't get stupid and get dropped again; dude can punch. It will be a grueling fight for Paulie at this point, sad as it is.

Logical. He won the interim champion, El Massoudi. Later, the winner of this fight should fight Maidana, who won a eliminatory (Soto Karass).

He beat the interim champ (some people above me said his name)
Not sure how the WBA system works... but I think the interim is the number 1 challenger
