Answer these questions.
1. Who's going to win?
Amir Khan UD.
2. How will they react to each others style?
Mallignaggi will find it hard to deal with Khan's speed and accuracy. He gets off balance quite often, and that isn't a good trait when fighting an aggressive fighter like Khan, who will swarm on top of you with combinations. I can see Mallinaggi fighting largely off of the back foot, using his jab to keep at Khan at bay. However, Khan will get inside of Paulie's jab with his footwork and movement, score with his straight right regularly as the fight moves forward. Khan won't have any trouble with Mallinaggi's power, but Mallinaggi will have plenty of problems with Khan's speed given that Khan is definitely the fastest fighter he has ever faced. In my opinion, Khan will be much more comfortable with Mallinaggi, than Mallinaggi will be with Khan.
3. Who has the better style?
Khan is much more exciting to watch. He likes to engage and throws plenty of power shots, but does it with skill and precision. While Mallinaggi is an accomplished pure boxer, his lack of power and sometimes negative tactics don't make for good t.v viewing.
4. Who has more stamina?
At this stage, Mallinaggi probably has more stamina. He has had hard, long fights with pressure fighters like Cotto, Hatton, and Diaz, and held up well stamina and fitness wise. However Khan is a very hardworking, and always in shape. They can both go the full 12.
5. Who has the better boxing skills?
Khan has a better defence, and better offensive skills, but sometimes looks a little rigid and tense and doesn't move around the ring so well under pressure. Mallignaggi has better movement, and a great jab, but his defence and overall offence leaves a lot to be desired. Therefore, I believe Khan has the better boxing skills. Plus he is improving all of the time.
6. Who has faster hand speed?
Khan has the faster hand speed. Mallinaggi throws quick single shots, but Khan can hit you with five punches in the blink of an eye.
7. Can Malignaggi keep Khan away with his excellent jab?
Early on yes. But after a few rounds when Khan has realised there is little power behind it, he will start to time, slip under, and counter Mallinaggi's jab, landing with some hard shots. I doubt he can keep Khan away for long periods with just his jab to rely on.
8. Can Khan bum-rush Malignaggi like he did to Salita? And would he be successful at it?
Not, if you mean in the first round. But I certainly think he can rush in and land some big shots without fear of being hurt as the fight goes on. If Hatton bum-rushed Mallinaggi for the whole of their fight, and was very successful at it, a faster, and much more skilled boxer like Khan probably can.
Answer these questions.
There you go!!!
1. Who's going to win?
I say its 50:50.
2. How will they react to each others style?
Both will start tentative, and will build in confidence as they find success with what they plan to do. I think these two match up so that it'll be a pretty even affair throughout.
3. Who has the better style?
?
4. Who has more stamina?
Paulie.
5. Who has the better boxing skills?
Overall, Paulie. khan is great at what he does, but he does VERY few things.
6. Who has faster hand speed?
Khan, just. Maybe, maybe even in terms of jab.
7. Can Malignaggi keep Khan away with his excellent jab?
Most likely, yeah.
8. Can Khan bum-rush Malignaggi like he did to Salita? And would he be successful at it?
It wasn't a bum rush, and Salita has been dropped by guys with KO percentages of 10 and 7, so no, this will not happen.
I hope Malignaggi wins, but I think Khan wins a UD. I think Khan is faster, and also I don't think Malignaggi will be able to keep Khan away with his jab.
1. Who's going to win? 50/50 7-5 for someone. Could go either way I think
2. How will they react to each others style? Paulie has to use his jab and his feet to back away from khan. Khan has to figure out a way to get close to paulie and do some damage.
3. Who has the better style? Khan, more exciting, more combos.
4. Who has more stamina? Im going to say paulie because he is an outside fighter and they are used to going the distance.
5. Who has the better boxing skills? Im going to say Paulie for this one.
6. Who has faster hand speed? Khan
7. Can Malignaggi keep Khan away with his excellent jab? Yes, paulie's jab is no joke, Its very powerful and it stings.
8. Can Khan bum-rush Malignaggi like he did to Salita? And would he be successful at it? No..paulie's jab will keep him away.
It will be interesting. Paulie has a good chin, stamina and a difficult style to fight. He is an excellent gauge as to where Amir is in his professional career right now.

Answer these questions.
1. I don't know yet.
2. I think Khan will find it difficult to make it a fight with Malignaggi since Malignaggi uses his jab and likes to use his feet. Malignaggi will have use his jab and his feet in order stay away from Khan and make it his fight.
3. I think Malignaggi has the better style in terms of better boxing fundementals and basics. But Khan has a good style for those who will stay in front of him.
4. I think Khan has slightly better stamina.
5. Malignaggi has better boxing skills imo.
6. Khan has faster hand speed.
7. I think in order to win Malignaggi will have to keep Khan away with his jab and I believe he will be successful at it but I don't for how long.
8. I think Khan can try to make it a fight and rush Malignaggi but I'm not sure with how much success since Malignaggi is known for using his legs and boxing skills to stay away from danger.
