Can Paulie Malignaggi upset Juan Diaz? Poll!

[vercingetorix3]

Paulie by TKO

Care to put points on that?

Diaz will probably win by UD. Diaz will just walk through his punches. If Diaz can trouble Marquez, he most certainly can laugh off the Magic Man's shots. As you said correctly, Diaz doesn't have the power to KO Paulie, Baby Bull's aggression will be the key to this fight.

I didn't see his last fight, but I thought I read somewhere that Paulie didn't look good against Chris Fernandez.

The problem with Paulie winning the fight has more to do with Juan Diaz. Diaz is a B+ fighter and Paulie is only a B- on his best day. And since Paulie's best days are behind him and he's basically one handed, I'd say he's in for a beating. I think this will go the distance though. Juan doesn't have the power to KO Paulie. The only way I see a stoppage is if it's a TKO. Juan has the ability to swamp Paulie into a stoppage, but he doesn't have the power to actually KO him IMO.

I see Juan Diaz winning a UD.

b +.....r u serious????? Do you know what Juan Diaz has already accomplished in his young career???

I think he was joking

Paulie could get the upset but I think that Diaz pressure will be too much for him. Paulie will have to really put on a boxing display in order to beat Diaz who I also think back is against the wall.

He has 2 defeats already and is looking to make his way back into serious contention. Look for Diaz to pressure Paulie all night long and beat him down methodicaly.

Could be a grueling fight for Paulie even if he wins the early rounds.

I really think Paulie just needs to focus on keeping a stiff jab and circling away from Diaz' strong hand. Every once in a while stopping to throw a three punch flurry. Don't even load up too much with the right if it feels tender(can't have it breaking.) A stiff enough jab and you could get another cut developing on Diaz.. Then say hello to the ghosts of his two defeats. Although I don't predict a stoppage at all. Paulie by UD if he doesn't continue looking washed up.

[-PANDA-]

I think if he calls him names and tells some "yo momma" jokes he might upset him

man otha than this panda dont see either guy winnin as an upset

these guys is comin off embarrassing losses man

diaz is relentless and malignaggi doesnt back up easilly and rather circles

this will be a battle of will and putting it on the opponent

Easier said than done though. Diaz is a relentless fighter and will pursue him all night long. I think it will come down to whether or not Paulie can handle the pressure and if he can keep his composure under all that.

Remember, Diaz has a great jab himself and I think that's something Diaz trainer's will be looking to emplore to counter Paulies speed and boxing advantage.

Paulie likes to circle and move. Diaz abuses guys who stand in front of him or back straight up. I think if Paulie can swallow some pride and realize he has to fight moving back and circling with a jab he can do this. There were times in the Hatton fight where it looks as though he's forgotten what kind of fighter he is. Lovemore couldn't come anywhere near him when Paulie was moving properly.. Hopefully Paulie brings his A game and at the very least we will have a hard time scoring the fight. I admit this will be close but I don't think this should be considered a forgone conclusion as many already have.

Relax. I'm a huge Juan Diaz fan. Get real though. Being a B+ fighter is not a bad thing.

And by the way, he is a B+ fighter, not that that's bad. Because Marquez is an A and he proved to be a better fighter than Diaz. Enough said.
