Good for Paulie, getting right back at it.
The man will never be the top dog, and barely has enough power to keep his opponents honest, but he is a real fighter. -

Paulie will be ready for this one. He trains at the house of pain the coney island boxing club. He has a new trainer sherif younan and a whole new atmosphere. It does'nt hurt that he is training with the likes of sadam ali, danny jacobs, curtis stevens, joe greene, anthony irons and joselito colladoComment

This is a good cross roads fight, beating Malignaggi would prove that Alvarado is ready for the next step, beating Alvarado would keep Malignaggi relevant, a loss for either sends both of them to the back of the pack.Comment

Malinaggi will always be a top B fighter in my opinion. He will need some type of power to earn some type of respect from the top fighters. He's been brilliantly managed though. He's been cashed out more than once and will probably get there one more time.Comment

Paulie has got this, will be world champ again by the end of the year. Great to see him getting straight back at it though.Comment
