Food For Thought On Malignaggi...

[Easy-E]

oh, and i think he may have balance issues. Based on this fight and i think the yelton one that i saw. Im also wondering how he will fare in the 11th and 12th rounds (if he gets there) seeing as his longest fight is 10 rounds.

I suppose all these questions will be answered on the 10th.

Man i hate his hair...hes quick and smart in the ring though. He looks small, though.

I was actually thinking the same thing. His frame is extremely small, and im thinking how well his body is going to stand up to the punishment. But there is no denying the talent there, right?

This is what I saw,

Good: He keeps extremely busy, throws punches in bunches, gives you many angles (constantly moving), good stamina

Bad: No power, relies on flurries, keeps his hands way down (sometimes backs up with hands down

I can see him getting away with his style for about 3 rounds. I also can see him catching Cotto's left hook to the body and slowing down. I still go with Cotto by TKO.

Fair summary .

Hes one of the top skilled boxers today, of course he can give another fighter (Cotto) problems. He is actually underrated.

Thanks for the nice unbiased break down of Paulie. Karma sent your way.

However, I just feel that Cotto is in an entirely different league than Paulie. Also, his frame is just way too small to handle Cotto's body shots.

Thanks for the karma, and yes I agree with what you are saying... but what my point is, is that it is down to how Pauli deals with the pressure, not how thick Cotto lays it on...

Karma returned if I can.

this is def a likely scenario

mal has skills undoubtedly

but he lacks the power to keep someone like cotto off of him

i have played devil's advocate wiht other fights to expose other possibilites

but wiht this one i see no other outcome than mali eating a left hook and looking up at lights and a ref

From what I saw in that clip, he keeps his hands down a lot, especially for a guy who uses a defensive style that you're talking about. I haven't seen much of him, but I am looking for his fights to watch before June 10 so I can get a better idea, but that clip seemed to sum it up nicely. I can see where you're coming from with him having his own style, but he's liable to get caught with a Tszyu-Judah shot if he fights Cotto like that. I think 3 or 4 minutes in you can see he gets caught with a good one coming in. We will see.
