Sadly I agree for the most part with TS. Except I believe there's a very good chance Khan stops Paulie late in the fight.
By the 9th or 10 round I see it. A bit sooner than Ricky seeing as how I think Khan is overall a better fighter than Ricky.
Sucks because I want the Magic Man to win but he's overmatched. His biggest attribute isn't his chin or his speed. I believe it's his heart.
For you to be this feather fisted and be in the upper echelon of the sport so to speak as Paulie is you need intangibles. Paulie's shown tremendous heart IMO.
If it wasn't for that as well as his smack talk and braggadociousness? he wouldn't have lined up the fights he's gotten much less enjoyed the modicum of success he's had in those fights.
I'm going to use this thread for future predictions on fights. I'll be doing a lot of predictions on British domestic fights, as well as world fights.
Khan vs Malignaggi prediction:
My thoughts here are that Khan's speed is going to be the factor. Paulie's greatest attribute apart from his sturdy chin is his speed, but against Khan he's not fast enough. I think Khan will beat Paulie to the jab most of the time as long as he stays concentrated.
Khan should use a lot of head movement and use his jab to setup combinations. Khan's workrate will be spectacular as he outworks and outclasses Malignaggi.
My prediction would have to be a wide UD in favour of Khan. With a small possibility of a late stoppage victory. If there is a stoppage, it will be a ref stoppage after Paulie takes too many shots from Khan.
That is quite frankly one of the best predictions I have ever seen.
