    Has Malignaggi looked slower in his past 2 fights?

    I dont know if its just me, but he seems a little slower and fatigues just a LITTLE bit easier. Incidentally, he looks like he has more muscle mass as well. Am I alone on this?

    on the last fight he looked horrible, but i think that he didnt train well for that fight cos he underestimated ndoujo. today he looked better, but still far away from the malignaggi of the first fight, or even the one against cotto. now well have to see what will happen if he fights hatton.

      Yeah against N'dou the first time he looked great and even I remember against Edner Cherry he looked pretty damn quick, but in his last two defenses that speed hasn't been there. I don't think he took Ngoudjo seriously and obviously today with the hair fiasco I don't know if he took N'dou so seriously. Especially when he won so easily last time.

          I think Paulie is yet another overrated Brooklyn fighter. He sure gets a lot of hype considering who he has beaten and how he looked doing it.

            He does seem slower now and doesn't move as much as he used to. I don't know why that is.

              i've noticed he's fatigued easier and has more muscle mass but the loss of speed i dont see (well obviously until he begins to fatigue)...

              he still was able to slip shots going straight back with no guard up and wasnt tagged...

              it wasn't until his hand injury/fatigue that he wasnt able to do it.

              Then again i dont think he will have a performance as good as he did in the first ndou fight...he looked like a top fighter in that fight...

              the last fight he looked terrible but i dont think he took his opponent all that serious in training...

              and for this fight i guess the hand injury comes into play...

              if he hadnt hurt that hand i'd be a lot harder on him for that performance...but if he really hurt it in the 6th it explains why he ****** from there after...

              on my card he escaped 115-113...a real close win...

              if the first 6 rounds repeated for the last 6 rounds i would have had him winning 10 of the 12 rounds...

              that first fight with ndou might very well be his career performance.

                He did seem exceptionally slow.

                  well, it is easier to make adjustments when you lose than when you win so N'Dou may have made him look different.

                    Hclearly been slower and bulkier in his recent fights. I'm not sure if it's Buddy or not. Just watch the film. Against Ndou ad Cherry his speed was much better.
