Comments Thread For: Odds are, Malignaggi’s Not The Patsy He Appears

[miniq]

If Paulie and Broner weren't trying so hard to sell this fight then i'd take a punt on Paulie...
They will be best friends at the end of this fight...

All this **** talk is really just banter between one another.. especially that jessica crap.

Odds are amazing though... Putting £5 on Paulette decision! £50 return.

I think Boner will win but I hope Paulie atleast exposes his lack of defence

since this fight was signed i never thought paulie was a big underdog. until we see what broner is able to bring to welter we just don't know. i'd be surprised if he managed to stop paulie and, with the right game plan, even a win for malignaggi is not out of the question.

Broner slams the door for VADA testing when Malignaggi requested for it..Broner prefers to use controversy laden testing agency in USADA for the testing which is Floyd fav..i wonder why????????

I just kinda hope Paulie doesn't cop too bad a beating. It might be two divisions up from where Broner has operated, but surely every fighter Broner has faced hits harder than Paulie. Even Demarco and Rees. Easy fight to pick.

I like Paulie, but some of you are giving fake opinions because of Broner's past comments about Rios. You talk about the Broner-Rees fight and really saw what you wanted to see. True boxing fans saw a short guy with some speed land a few punches, but nothing that warranted criticism of Broner's performance.

You can talk that Paulie this and Broner won't do this, but you won't bet on Paulie. If you do, you're using income tax money...money that won't hurt your immediate financial status lmao!

Paulie has a chance against Broner. I wouldnt bet money on it but he could pull it off. This is a step up for Broner in class and weight. Thats how untested Broner is at this point of his career.

USADA's good enough for the olympics why not boxing? I have socks older than VADA. And what other sport outside of boxing is lining up to use the great VADA testing agency?

Maybe its because USADA gives waivers for positive tests?!?!?!?!

we don't even know if broner's power will carry to 147 lbs. i think he will get the decision by landing more power shots, but i think paulie is shrewd enough to avoid being koed by someone who was a lightweight last time he fought.

Be very careful about betting big underdogs.

These oddsmakers are not idiots. Every time a big underdog wins, the casinos lose money because the money they get on the favorite is almost never 10 times what they're getting on the underdog. I bet on Robert Guerrero to beat Floyd Mayweather. Then on fight night, Robert doesn't show up to fight. He only throws single punches, no combinations, no uppercuts, almost all of his punches were thrown from well out of range, and he would lunge into range and get countered by Floyd. Compare this with the Berto fight and there's a huge difference. The casinos made out like bandits on the Floyd fight.
Lee Purdy was also a huge underdog vs. Devon Alexander. In the first round Purdy shuffles forward and lets Devon hit him over and over. You would think he would just back up but he didn't have the brains to do that. Then he quits suddenly in the 7th round, which was really convenient because Devon had a broken hand. Trust me it's irritating when your underdog fighter doesn't show up to fight. Floyd and Devon are Al Haymon managed fighters. Broner is an Al Haymon fighter. Al Haymon fighters never get robbed by the judges but they do get gift decisions. Broner got a gift decision against Ponce de Leon is his own hometown.
