Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Not Concerned Why He Got Garcia Fight

[Santa_]

Don't get it twisted, Malignaggi. This is a cherry pick, nothing more nothing less.

You should be surprised Paulie, you are the other Salka. Danny will knock you out in within five rounds.

Garcia has been fighting at 147 for a long time now. And Paulie at this point is HARDLY a name anymore.

Ummm.... no ?

Jesus, you are not insinuating that 141 is welter are ya ?

Easiest big name fight for Garcia at Welter...this should not surprise Paulie

Yep ^^

No big surprise, considering it will be Garcia's first outing at welter.

No, his last fight was at 143 lbs and even his fight vs Salka was at 142 or 143. He hasn't made 141, much less 140 in a year and half

I don't want to hear any crying from Pauli like after the Broner fight in regards to the more connected fighter getting the decision no matter what. He signed up knowing how this will go down.

What does this mean??? If it's a bad decision, he shouldn't complain? Fighters should EXPECT to get bad decisions if they are the B-side?

Wow....

You know the sport is f***ed up when the fans defend the problems as something we should expect and not even dare complain abuot

Garcia's last fight was at welter. That is a fact, not an opinion.

Malignaggi will do much better than people are giving him credit for. Imo, he seems to struggle against pressure fighters but does better against boxers. Most people thought Judah, Herrera and Peterson would lose to Garcia easily but we all know in those fights...you can make a case for it going either way. Danny should win but i think it'll be competitive.

[diarraisagod]

I wouldn't even be surprised if this is competitive.

Think Paulie would have to win 8 rounds clearly to have any chance of getting a decision though.

I agree that he needs to move up.

But a welterweight enters camp preparing to fight at 147.

Garcia has never done that before.
