I think he will do it in style, and it will look like the Katsidis fight. Matter of fact I am willing to put 250K on Diaz to anyones 100K on Malignaggi.
I also believed Diaz would win but for some strange reason I see Paulie pulling it off. He has the footwork to trouble Diaz, he can land the 1/2 and keep it moving.
i cant really pick a winner because i can see both of them winning. it seems like malignaggis stock went down with alot of people because of the hatton fight, but i think that he really wasnt fitting in well with mcgirt and he was fighting with one hand the whole night. i can see diaz pressuring him like a mofo and landing all sorts of combos but i have seen good things from both of them, who knows what versions of both fighters will show up.
Come on lets be realistic. Diaz people put him in there with Paulie so that he looks good and looks like the old Diaz. Diaz is in there with a guy that couldn't crack an egg. I'll laugh if Paulie whips his ass because they're putting him in there with Paulie so he looks good. If he gets knocked out I'll really be laughing. But Diaz "should" win this fight being that he throws alot of punches and Paulie isnt a big puncher at all. Shit he's not even a decent puncher.
