    Stylistically the problem with a fighter like Paulie against Khan is................

    Stylistically the problem with a fighter like Paulie against Khan is, that Malignaggi is a on the backfoot counter puncher who does not throw more than one punch, which is usually the jab, now the problem he will have with Khan, is that Khan by trade is an aggressive combination puncher, Malignaggi has neither the power or the required 3/4 punch counters to keep Khan off him imo, Malignaggi only throws singles when he counters.

    Backing up and trying to Box wont work, he might be better off applying the pressure as that is what Khan has looked more vulnerable against imo.

    I agree with you but Paulie has looked alot stronger recently

    And he knows this is do or die for him. He wants it badly

    I can see this being a very good fight for the fans

      Paulie is feather fisted and one-handed. I honestly don't see how he can win, hopefully I'm wrong.

        Malignaggi should stick to what he's good at, fighting on the backfoot and hopefully catching Khan with something decent.

          There is a reason this fight got made. Paulie is a solid name who is a good style match up for Khan.

                  Yea....I'm rooting for Paulie but if I was a betting man I'd pick Khan...

                  Paulie can do it though...fighting in his backyard I think he'll box his ass off...
