a fogie who thinks that anyone who claimed "expert" or "diehard" should also indicate the date of the last fight in which they participated or attended
:boxing:
the last fight i went to was gatti vs baldomir ...
i was gonna go to malignaggi vs cherry last night but couldnt
You guys are funny.
Paulie doesn't have much power, but he does have speed and a good jab so he uses it to his advantage. He has solid skills and can move around the ring. Plus he's is tough as nails and has alot of heart.
If he could learn to put his body into his punches he would be alot more dangerous.
Hector Camacho reject? LOL
i hope it doesnt happen ..
paulie can outbox gatti and no one wants to see gatti go out like that .. and paulie should stay at 140 for now
i wouldnt know who to root for either .. my 2 favorite fighters
but if it does happen..i will definately be there
Here's an article from ******** Boxing that may or may night be true, though it's all speculation. But from the sound of it, I don't think Arturo is Paulie's idol anymore (http://www.********boxing.com/news.php?p=9947&more=1)...
Fistic Flashes: Gatti Disses Paulie And Crew! Silverhawk To Announce TV Fight Series! Byrd Flying To Bahamas To Paint Sherwin Williams!
19.02.07 - By Michael Marley, BoxingConfidential.com: NEW YORK --It was just before the last call for alcohol at Tir Na Nog, the Irish watering hole near the Hammerstein Ballroom and the Garden. Arturo Gatti and his sidekicks were in the house and the cocktails were flowing. Fresh from his easy decision victory over Edner Cherry, Yo Paulie Malignaggi and his younger, Brooklyn entourage were also imbibing.
Now, as a follow-up to my early Sunday exclusive that HBO is willing to buy Gatti vs. Malignaggi for a July 14 Atlantic City showdown which will be more incestuous than a family reunion in a redneck-infested trailer park, I can tell you that remarks were made, insults were hurled and Malignaggi no longer idolizes Mr. Gatti..
"Profane remarks were made, maybe not to Paulie's face, but by Gatti and his cronies to Paulie's friends. One of them said Paulie stings like a crippled mosquito. Another guy said Paulie belongs on the old "Dance Fever" TV show. One thing led to another and feelings were hurt. Paulie will never look at Gatti with the respect he used to have for the old warrior," an eyewitness told me. "They just were not too nice to Paulie and notice was taken. I guess Arturo was getting his game face on."
A source close to Malignaggi and his manager, Sal LoNano, confirmed that the Gatti posters have been taken down in the Malignaggi Mansion.
"When Paulie lost to Miguel Cotto," the source said. "he got a cheer up call from Gatti. Arturo, who is great buddies with old rival Mickey Ward (also handled by LoNano), told Paulie to keep his chin up, that he had big balls...words of encouragement to a young fighter who suffered his first loss. So Paulie was surprised by the sudden badmouthing from Gatti and his posse."
A premium cable TV network source, speaking for background only, told me Monday "that HBO wants the fight. But HBO will not give Gatti what he wants, which is a warm up fight. HBO does not care if there is no title at stake. They see it as a passing of the torch type event and, if it is 10 rounds, so what?"

I don't buy it for a second.
Unless Gatti knows that Paulie would not do this fight, and is trying to get him to take it so he can get a paycheck.
Shitty fake tan gave this reaction, like red marks under his eyes.
thats not from tanning
and ya he does pluck\wax his eyebrows
and guess what, he'll win this fight easily
haha.. im italian myself..
i think hes more of a hate him or love him type of guy.. i think he got personality which is good for the sport..
u out on howard beach? that area?
taylor goes from not being in the top 10 to being 3rd by getting a draw? huh?
and i dont understand how hopkins beats a guy whos ranked like 8th-10th and he is suddenly top 5?
But to say he was screwed, your implying that Cotto had something to do with that. Well if I am not mistaken, Wasn't Paulie the one stating to the world how he can adapt to any situation thus making him superior to Cotto. He should've adapted. What happen to the Magic Man? Look I give him much props as he obviously is no quitter. But be a man and except defeat, like they say what doesn't kill you ( eventhough it looked like he was getting killed) will only make you stronger. I say go back to the drawing board, train in different size rings and make a comeback.
Malignaggi has actually accepted defeat and said that he takes nothing away from cottos performace
