Just spoke to Kevin Cunningham. He's advocating @PaulMalignaggi-@DAlexandereal for the 8/18 Showtime date. I think that could happen.
wasn't expecting Paulie to get a KO win
they'll try to reward him with something
wouldn't mind fight with Alexander the twat
but if Ortiz beats Berto, they'll probably feed Paulie to Ortiz
GB will wanna get Ortiz another belt after exposure he got with Floyd
Alexander swings for the fences every time he punches, and although Paulie's got a granite chin, Devon could definitely crack it.
It's a crap fight and not going to do anything for Alexander's rep.
Pretty much. After he won, people would be saying that "Alexander is the most garbage three time champ of all time!". Of course before the fight some may also be saying that he'd have to win by robbery. But hey, Alexander fought some tough opposition, so I really couldn't hate on him if he faught Paulie for the belt.
If this doesn't happen, which would be GREAT if it did, I wouldn't mind seeing Malignaggi vs. Brook in October at the new stadium in NYC. Paulie said GBP was thinking about making his first title defense there.
Nope not happening. Based on what people were saying after the Alexander Brook talks, appearently established U.S. fighters have to bend over backwards to appease the great Kell Brook and not the other way around. So Paulie will probably get some bum azz fight on HBO or Showtime next while the real king of the WW division shows his worth fighting a D level fighter in his hamlet :hail:. Anyways Paulie vs Zab or Holt would be cool because of the NY/NJ connections, plus there more or less even fights. I think Paulie should stay away from Alexander for at least one fight for his sake, cause lets be honest, he probably wouldn't win, and Paulie should have the chance to defend his belt and win in Brooklyn at least once.

He should defend his title at the new arena opening.
Out of all the WW's, Devon is probably the one he has the most chance of beating so he would be a good opponent.

Richard Schaefer just told me there is zero chance Paulie goes to UK to fight Brook on his July 7 date. Not happening. #boxing
Why should he? If paulie wants too, then cool. But no way should Brook try to coax him to go there

So Paulie M went out of the country to get the belt back and Cunningham wants to make a fight with Alexander? Well I hope Paulie gets well compensated for going out of the country and bringing the belt back, if not then don't take the Alexander fight.
Paulie's next fight will be on October 20th for the opening fight at the Nets new stadium in Brooklyn
This right here,Paulie has said he wants to headline the first big fight
there.
