Just got off the press conference call with Diaz-Malignaggi II

[warp1432]

Here are some brief points:
-Both fighters are fine with the judges
-Paulie doesn't think Golden Boy had anything to do with the decision last time. Neither does Lou.
-Juan Diaz says he feels more comfortable this time at 140 then the last
-He also added that'd he still like to compete at 135, but would stay at 140 if there were more attractive fights there for him
-Paulie Malignaggi still pissed at Gale Van Hoy
-Lou Dibella thinks the whole style of picking the judges is wrong because the promoters end up paying for the judges that are picked. Not necessarily who is picked, but they still end up paying.
-Diaz would like a marquee win still
-Paulie would like to fight Marquez/avenge his defeat from Hatton
-Diaz says boxing is his priority and law school will wait if need be.
-Paulie said that he had a bruised rib and didn't get any sparring for the first fight.
-Diaz looks to outwork Paulie this time
-Diaz likes proving the naysayers wrong and is motivated

That's a good chunk of the 48 minute call

I got out right in time. I missed Diaz-Ortiz though

cool..thanks for the heads up...paulie really outboxes diaz this time around in my opinion..if anything paulie should look even better with a bigger ring and now being more familiar with diaz's style. also expect diaz's eye to be cut early..he is extremely susceptible to cuts. paulie UD 8 rounds to 4
