Comments Thread For: Malignaggi is Excited About Broner Fight, Rips Thurman

[ManOnTheMoon]

If Broner keeps winning, and Khan gets back on track, plus someone emerges from the GB 140 tourney, and Rios stays hot, someone from that group will be the next superstar in boxing, maybe 2 guys, after the pieces start to fall. Next couple years will be very interesting from this bunch

I don't know man. It'll be a true test for Broner. Remember, even though Malignaggi can't punch worth a ****, he's still very durable and always comes to fight (ala Cotto). This could be a shutout in Malignaggi's favor if Broner ain't careful just with the Malignaggi pillow jabs alone. Do I think Paulie can pull it off?...Hell No, but if he does win, it'll be because of that.

Rees found him pretty easy to hit. Despite the constant comparisons to Mayweather, Broner is more of an offensive fighter. But like Rees, Malignaggi doesn't hit very hard, so it shouldn't be a problem. He's a great talent, but he's not some defensive genius.

No doubt. Nobody is saying Paulie is going to knock him out, but he has been in with some HUGE guys before (Cotto) and taken their punch. If Paulie can be evasive enough, or even if he has to get touched up a little bit, i think he can weather Broner's storm and give him tons of trouble. It is an interesting fight. When is the last time Malignaggi got destroyed by a smaller man?

WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7KOs) is very excited about facing Adrien Broner (26-0, 22KOs), the WBC's lightweight champion, on June 22 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

BoxingScene.com: Thoughts on The Fight:

"It's exciting. I think it's a fight a lot of people are going to be looking forward to and I think it's a fight that a lot of people will be hyping. It has poetntial for a lot of fireworks, a lot of press, a lot of coverage, a lot of crazy antics from me and Adrien. We're always talking a lot and we our shticks with our gimmicks. I think between all that, and putting on a great fight, I think it will be a great event." [Click Here To Read More]

trash talking will be sick!!

crazy fight...didn't see this coming...still a lil' in denial about this fight really happening lol

This is a good step for Broner. He will be moving up to 140-47 where it's filled many talented fighters and will finally be facing a credible,talented,experienced opponent in Pauli.

The trash talk between Broner and Pauli will be something of a treat for sure.

Easy payday for broner. malinaggi don't have anything to put on the table. Won't stand a chance against broner. Malinaggis punches won't even hurt a LW. Not worthed spending money to watch.

[killamoneymike]

i give next to no chance for malinaggi. horrible fight imo

[waxfondler]

i think paulie is a great challenge for broner. paulie is a crafty veteran with a great chin...

we all know paulie has slipped and NEVER was a dangerous fighter, but he is a solid test for up and comers.

broner will win this, but i wonder if he can make it a showcase or will it be a tit-for-tat type of boxing match...

[HangOver]

Malignaggi can talk all the bs all he wants, because after Broner beats the stuffing out of Paulie, Paulie won't even get the opportunity to fight Thurman ever.
