Interesting fight, but IMO I think Maidana wins this fight. I don't think it's going to be easy (Maidana struggles with boxers, e.g. Devon Alexander) but I think he's too strong for Malignaggi and won't be able to handle his power. Cano gave him trouble and I think it's fair to say that Maidana punches much harder than him. I say late round stoppage win for Maidana if this fight goes down. Polling it to see what you guys think.

not a surprise. paulie didn't look too hot. I had Cano winning by 2pt. And Morales (an out of shape Morales) systematically outboxed Cano. Maybe this triangle analogy is a stretch but paulie didn't look good at all.

Yeah it dont look good for paulie at all considering all of the advantages he has over shot morales, youth, speed, natural higher weight and morales dont have any pop either at 140+.

I had Cano winning by a 1pt. Good point about Morales. But Maidana looked pretty bad against Devon Alexander...I still think he could pull off the win, but I see him struggling with Paulie's jab and his lateral movement.

all paulie did all night was the same jab. nothing else. i guess cano is not a very power puncher cuz he landed plenty in the body.

Maidana doesn't look good at 147 at all. You might be right.

BTW, Devon knowx how to hold. Anytime it's close he holds. But not like Khan. With Khan, it's holding the head down. lol.

I think Maidana just can't deal with southpaws and that's why he struggled with Alexander. I don't expect Maidana to have the same problem with Malignaggi. Malignaggi is pretty much a one handed fighter and you are gonna need to be two handed to keep Maidana off you for 12 rounds. He will struggle with any good pressure fighters because of this. Maidana by UD and I like Paulie.

Make it happen, why not?

[HUGH JASS]

i no one thing if maidana hits malignaggi the way cano hit him he aint getting back up

[Derranged]

I think Malignaggi is bordering shot. Even though he never had power, he at least was able to throw fast/decent combinations and had good footwork. He can't even do that anymore.

Maidana knocks him out.
