I am shocked. I can't believe it. This is UNREAL.

Stevie Wonder saying i misread the fight?..... You don't score fights on the sound of punches.

No, you score fights on a round-by-round basis (funnily enough, you've not offered anything even resembling a scorecard yourself.) Clean punching is the one criteria valued above all else, which is something many modern boxing fans (yourself included, no doubt) don't seem to understand.

Paulie won 7 rounds to 5, bron bron got his ass boxed off.

Broner stood there shaking his head talking ish while gettin popped in the face for the first half of the fight.

First two rounds weren't close, thread ends there. OP is on the troll

Best comment here. The first round Broner won was the 3rd and that was CLOSE, I had Broner winning the majority of the middle rounds but rounds 10. 11 and 12 could have gone either way. For what it's worth I had it 7-5 Broner.

It was admirable that Malignaggi stayed so active in the fight and took the shots that he did. He got hit so hard at times that i was amazed he stayed upright. However there is a difference between what is admirable and who is actually winning the fight. I think a lot of people expected Broner to take him out of there in a few rounds. Broner didn't do that though and because Malignaggi did better than expected some people think he won it. However, eventhough Broners performance wasn't as dominant as expected he still clearly won.

The numbers show this aswell.... Punches thrown were in Paulie's favor, but punches actually landed were in Broners favor. If you couple this with the fact that Broner punches quite a lot harder and most punches landed by Paulie were jabs while most punches landed by Broner were powerpunches, then it seems obvious who won this.

It's scored round by round, do you have round by round numbers? No.... then they don't mean ****.

@ Stevie Wonder.

I scored it to Broner, do you know what "clean punching" is? Clean punching has nothing to do with how hard a punch is.

They're punches that aren't slipped, blocked and deflected, as was the case with a large portion of what Malignaggi was throwing in Broner's direction.



And yes, with relation to professional boxing, the actual strength of the blow does have to be taken into consideration (hence the "effective" part of 'clean and effective punching.') To suggest otherwise is inane.

So I wake up in the morning today and finally watch Broner vs Malignaggi and don't know the result yet so I score the rounds. And guess what, Broner won this fight so clearly it's unreal. And then Paulie says as always that he got robbbed in the postfight interview (I almost fall off the stool when he says that), then I come on boxingscene and see the poll which says most people felt Paulie won this fight. And this is where it gets totally unreal.
Here is my scorecard:

Round 1: Malignaggi (CLOSE!!)
Round 2: Malignaggi (CLOSE!!)
Round 3: Broner
Round 4: Malignaggi
Round 5: Broner
Round 6: Draw
Round 7: Broner
Round 8: Broner
Round 9: Broner
Round 10: Broner
Round 11: Broner
Round 12: Broner
_______________________________________________

Total Score: 117:112 Broner


How can ANYONE say with a straight face that Malignaggi won this fight?? I was the first one to say Malignaggi got robbed against Juan Diaz in their first fight. But this time? Are you kidding me? Broner was landing all the clean, hard shots from the 4th round on and outclassed Malignaggi.
And this is coming from a guy who likes Paulie and hates Broner. Do you guys know how I would have liked it if Broner would have lost the fight or even get knocked out? I HATE Broner.

And still: Broner totally CLEARLY won this fight. Nothing close AT ALL after the 4th round.
Why do you guys see what you see? Is it the fact that Paulie showboats while Broner lands clean, hard shots all night long?? This is just SHOWBOATING. He is still losing big and he knows it.

exactly. I watched the fight twice, the 2nd time I slowed parts down to see if combo's were connecting cleanly. Broner landed much more effective punches than Paulie, but watching it live, with so much hope that Paulie would beat this "bad guy", people were giving Malignaggi a lot of credit for his elbow and glove-hitting combo's.. The fact that Malignaggi survived young Broner is just fuel for their "Broner's a fraud" argument. Malignaggi does have balls though.. And Broner needs to improve his footwork, because he was too flat lastnite.

Only if it has an effect, chin cancels out power. 99% of Broners punches didn't do anything, they aren't worth more because you believe they are harder.

[DoubleMM]

I seriously can't believe people think this was a close fiht, and there are people who think Paulie actually won. Paulie hitting gloves and elbows while sticking his tounge out, Bronner smashing this guys face with clean punches all night.

@ Stevie Wonder.

uh bro in the other thread you completely said that opposite that the only thing that matters is volume and that paulie won what the hell is going on did you look it up see you were wrong and completely change your tune?
