    Why does every announcer attach the word "exciting" to Malignaggi?

    I mean, really, he seems like a slick boxer to me, and he has no power for a knockout punch.

    But every announcer seems to go out of his way to tell us that he is exciting.

    Any reason why? Any particular bout that they might have gotten this idea from?

    He throws alot of punches and fights at a good pace, tends to engage his opponents when pressured, will take a beating.

    He's not bad to watch.

        No, he isn't bad to watch.

        But it just seems a trend that every announcer has to attach that word to him once or twice a broadcast.

          He's been in some pretty entertaining fights.

          The Cotto fight was pretty exciting, the first ndou fight was very exciting despite the onesidedness, and the Ngoudjo fight was pretty good too.

          Im never really "bored" watching him, but never truly entertained either
