I have no idea how Paulie could possibly win this.
He's not outboxing Khan, what is he supposed to be picking Khan off with - the Jab? baffling the younger (Malignaggi has been is some wars), stronger, faster, bigger fighter with lateral movement? bamboozling him with brilliant headmovement and eluding every single one of Khan's fast combinations before countering with a hook of his own?
I like Paulie, but he's getting beaten up something chronic. Khan will get off first taking away Paulie's main advantage (speed) in basically all his fights.

Khan is a hundred times faster and more accurate than Hatton. I hope Paulie brings his running shoes.
I can't even see what good running would do. Khan will get full extention on his shots.
He might be better off trying to fight in the pocket. Which would be hilarious. But it would mean he would have taken away some of Khan's more dangerous punches like the sweeping left-hook and the straight-right hand.
I dunno, Paulie has to do something really unusual to have any chance.

i dont think paulie will run. i think he'll box in small circles, jabbing off of tight angles looking to occasionally land his right cross underneath or around khan's guard, while using a lot of of upperbody movement in punching range to look for slip counters.
we'll see if khan can cleanly hit a moving, slippery target.
i think khan's chin gives paulie confidence. he did actually hurt his opponent his last fight, and khan's been KD by similar feather-fisted punchers
Somehow the only title I can foresee Paulie taking away or perhaps sharing with Khan is the Porcelain Chin championship title when he gets KTFO badly. Although I'd much rather prefer a slow and brutal beating than a quick KO anyday.
