Andre Berto Vs Paulie Malignaggi.......

[BoxingFreak32]

This would be a good next fight for Berto, not to tough but not to easy.. The press conferences i think would be good i can imagine paulie sayin Berto's a hype and hasnt fought nobody and hes gonna Expose him again the way ortiz did. And this will be paulie's last chance to beat a top contender And hopefully after berto kicks his ass we wont have to see paulie's borefest on hbo anymore... What do u guys think?

With alfredo angulo on The undercard that would be so good... Maybe he could face carlos quintana.

Man I love Paulie Malignaggi, he's a good boxer and a great showman, has the heart of a LION and ZERO quit in him, I just think he needs to call it a career and look in to commentating, his hands aren't holding up anymore, and it's getting pretty bad.

His hands have been broken more than a several times and he fights on like nothing, I respect the hell out of him for that, but it's time to walk in my opinion.

Berto needs to fight Shane Mosley next, and redeem himself with an impressive show.

I thought he looked good against a respectable opponent in Jose Cotto.

I thought Malignaggi looked better against Jose Cotto than Canelo did.

Paulie vs Berto----how low can we go?

I agree, you can thank styles for that tho.

but I believe both of Paulie's hands broke in that fight, which is sad that it's the price to pay for him to put on a good performance.

damn...you actually came up with a match that would make me root for Berto...well done!

Yeah, he fights with a style that does not suit his injured right hand.

Mayweather and Calzaghe fight/fought with styles that best suited there injured hands. Mayweather with his constantly broken right hand; pot shots and works at a slow pace, with fast hands and perfect accuracy, he's a counterpuncher, doesn't engage much. Calzaghe used workrate and handspeed to win, but didn't throw strong punches, just "slaps" as people like to call them.

Malignaggi boxes like a guy who does not have hand problems, and that's where he fails. He needs to be like Calzaghe and win on work rate and handspeed. He has the chin to open up and take chances, no he doesn't have the power, but that's where his workrate and handspeed do the work for him. It's not too late to change, Calzaghe was not a workrate fighter when he had good hands, he changed his style after he injured his hands.

Whether Malignaggi wants to do this or not, that's up to him. But slapping fast punches, a lot of them, is what best suits Malignaggi.

Malignaggi left DiBella last year for Golden Boy.

Whatever happened to Berto fighting Zaveck for his strap? Haven't heard anything about that lately.
