Paulie Malignaggi to face Chris Fernandez April 25th

Malignaggi returns from a lopsided loss to Hatton in November to face Chris Fernandez (16-6-1) in an eight-round untelevised bout on the Carl Froch-Jermain Taylor undercard. If Malignaggi wins, he's looking at a likely June 27 match against rising prospect Mike Alvarado on the Kelly Pavlik-Sergio Mora pay-per-view undercard.

Yea..I read that also..He said he was about to quit boxing after the Hatton fight but he has no other kind of job skills so he is just sticking to boxing for the money. i know losses on a record dont mean that much,but this shos how much one loss really can do 2 a fighters career,just imagination how different things would be if he had beat hatton

Malignaggi should win this, Fernandez has only won 1 of his last 4, 2 defeats and one draw.And shound't cause Paulie to many problems and should bag a convincing UD or even maybe a TKO victory.Fernandez isn't really to difficult to stop he's lost 6 and 5 of those have been TKO defeats, against half decent oppostion and prospects. This should help Paulie's confindence and after he will look for big fights and them big pay checks he wants. Him and Judah would be a interesting one and would be pretty big in New York, but lets wait and see. I wonder if there could be hand touble after this one? Which could put a dent in his plans.

Why the **** doesn't he just wait a month and fight on the undercard of Pacquiao Hatton against Alvrado instead of June 27? He really dont have a choice in what he does now..He has to take anything he can get..Alot of ppl dont really want to see him.
