How you think Khan-Mallianggi going down?

I can see Khan's speed early on give Paulie some trouble, but Paulie's speed is damn good too. Khan doesn't like fighting on the back foot IMO and Paulie can't exploit it. Although Khan is improving so he is definitely a lot better at dealing with that. Khan's power will shock Paulie IMO. Yeah he got a lot of heart and tough as shit, but speed with power is a dangerous formula in boxing Skills wise Paulie has the edge, but he is not a defensive genius like people think. He can and will get tagged if you're good enough to do so. The Jab will be the key for me, both got nice fast jabs. Both like to flurry and it will be a good fight. Don't miss it Footwork wise Paulie got Khan I feel, maybe it will make the difference fo Khan looking like an amaetuer, which is very possible because Paulie is a step up in class. I got Khan UD but if Khan gets his way and doesn;t tire, there may even be a TKO. Paulie could win by UD but he would really have to put on a masterclass of boxing. KHAN UD

I hate to sound like a troll but I think if Paulie catches khan coming in, and clean, he can hurt him. Paulie rocked Diaz and ever dropped N'Dou (never been dropped before), and this is a very personal fight - I can see Paulie (and Khan) wanting to dish out some hurt. I'm calling it a 50:50 fight, with the most likely outcome a decision. I can't see Khan stopping Paulie and althought what I posted above I can't see Paulie stopping Khan. I think they've both got skills to give each otehr fits and a lot of this will come down to who's got the better game plan(s).

Khan by pretty wide UD or mid-late stoppage. If I have to make an exact prediction, I'd go with... Khan TKO 8. He's just too fast, too powerful and I'm sure he'll have a better game plan then Paulie. What game plan? Paulie is good at controlling a fight if not hurt

I think Malignaggi has improved since he split with Buddy McGirt ,he looked sharp against Diaz in there last 2 fights. He been in with some big names and only Hatton as stopped him (which so people think was a premature stoppage), so it will be a big achievement if Khan stops him. Both fast fighters and i think it will be a good fight. Id see Khan has the better power and speed, but Paulie has the edge in skill and slickness. Big questions of Khans chin will be asked again i think if Malginaggi hurts him as Malginaggi has never be known for his power. Although i think Khans chin will hold up alitle more know hes moved up in weight. Il go with Khan on points in a competitive fight. Good assessment. Paulie keeps saying he better since he left Buddy

it's a pretty even fight but paulie makes khan look like a fool and everyone here cries robbery. i see both landing on eachother evenly but khan will get the rounds because he will land harder shots.

I never seen Khan fight so I can't really say actully I did see him fight one time before but it didn't last that long OK washed up Barerra and a kinda home town decision but this was Khan 2 fights after his KO lost. 2nd fight with Roach and showed improvements from before

If Khan wins it will be because of the jab mark my words. Khan's jab is the only punch he has that has impressed me. If he can consistently pin down Paulie with the jab then he will win. If not a long night for that dude. Yes his jab is his best assett for sure. So is Paulie's though. Khan has pretty fast combinations which toruble people, not extremely accurate but good enough. Only issue is he becomes so open from it.

paulie's ring generalship and movements have improved since then. I like the two styles matching up. Looking forward to seeing kahns offense vs malignaggis boxing style

Its going to be a one-sided beat down from Khan, I can see very lob sided points victory or a stoppage. Khan is bigger, stronger & faster Paulie just wont be able to cope..

I find it hard to see anything other than a convincing Khan win. That is, unless Paulie is a totally different boxer to the one that faced Hatton... He is most definitely a different fighter from the man who fought Hatton. since paulie dropped his former trainer buddy he has returned to his natural boxing style, he's quicker and smarter than most people are giving him credit for. malignaggi UD

Khan is better in every department. Except one, his chin and I'd be really surprised if Paulie can test Khan's beard.

Ive got Kahn, UD Paulie will try to mess around in the early rounds, and start looking silly by the end kahn has been looking sharp lately, and his chin wont have to worry about paulies feather fists. This is an underrated match, theres alot to look forward to in it.

Khan will win this. His chin is weak but Pauli doesn't hit hard enough to exploit it. Down to pure boxing Amir is younger, faster, better amateur pedigree and heavier hands.......Paulie will surely be beaten clearly!
