Wait....Paulie Malignaggi Speaks Spanish?!?!?!

[r ! z]

Why do people think it's so impressive that he can speak spanish?? It's not that difficlut to pick up spanish when you're already fluent in italian. Good for him that he took some time to learn spanish but I wouldn't call it impressive. Paulie is a good dude though and has a bright future when he retires from boxing.

It is very impressive considering how many latinos grew up in Spanish speaking homes, with Spanish speaking parents and can't say a lick in Spanish.

It's still not impressive. Italian and spanish are quite similar languages so if you're already fluent in italian and is interested in learning how to speak spanish then it's not very hard.

From New York as well. Italian and Spanish are very similar!

Yes, Paulie is tri-lingual. That is if he's fluent in his native language as well. From previous vids, I believe he mentioned he grew up around and has Spanish speaking friends.

He most likely does, especially coming from an Italian family you almost cant avoid picking some up. Given how similar it is to Spanish, I'm sure he can talk some or at the very least, understand most of it. With Spanish you can somehow get along with Portuguese, Italian, catalan, and even some French with a few classes.
Oh I love Paulie, he's smart, good comentator and Im sure well see him in the boxing world for a long time.

WTF bro watch the video, theres no im sure. He is on the talk show in all spanish.

Would be more impressive to see Paulie trash talking Broner in English, Spanish, and in Italian Stallion style. He'll be instant the favorite in their fight.

That is until Broner knocks him silly.

Paulie was never gonna let the language barrier stand in the way of his ability to chew an ear off!

[SkillspayBills]

I knew he spoke Spanish because when Broner went and interrupted him in Vegas (?) it was while Paulie was getting interviewed for ESPN Deportes.

They confirmed there won't be a "No re-hydration" clause.
