Great fight. Classic brawler vs boxer match up.

Let's not jump to early conclusions. Maidana said the same about fighting McCloskey, then bailed out because "the offer was too low". I hope it happens, but let's not pretend like it's a done deal. There are also other options for Maidana right now.

Maidana might have some trouble avoiding Paulie's power shots and get ko'd while Paulie might have a hard time keeping up with the fleet footed slick crafty Maidana.

im glad that fight fell through not a fan of mccloskey, it wouldnt of been an hbo fight anyway i think they wanted it in ireland...malignaggi maidana is a much better fight and bigger money

lookin forward to this fight, hope it gets made. i think moving to 147 may help maidana's stamina. maybe making 140 is why he keeps gassing in fights. just a thought

Did you just say Paulie and power together in the same sentence?

[RichCCFC]

of course he did, both are golden boy fighters and they obviously proposed this fight behind curtains, Paulie was just hyping it.

Should be a good fight, I would have to predict Maidana as the winner, he seemed to adjust well to Khans style of jab and move late on in their fight, Malignaggi doesn't come with the power or speed of khan either, if Maidana can land the power on Khan he should be able to catch Malignaggi, should be a great fight or a dancing session, hopefully Maidana will come 100% offence minded and provide us with a PPV worth buying.

Remember, paulie already has 1 K.O win at 147. Maybe this new weight class he will finally have some pop?
