Paulie is from Brooklyn, NY?

I probably won't be able to watch the fight live, but from the video clips I've watched on Malignaggi, he seems extremely confident in his ability to stop Cotto. It's almost eery in that he talks alot about how he's been visualizing the outcome of this fight for a long time.
I recall many who didn't give Naseem Hamed a chance either before he fought in the U.S. and yet, he spoke the same way. Granted, I haven't seen much of Malignaggi's knockout power on video, which Hamed proved he had, but it would be shocking if the Magic Man could pull it off.
Extreme confidence and boxing ability go a long way sometimes.
It's going to be an interesting fight to watch.

I also believe it's the behind the scenes action going on in a fighter's life.

paulie's style bothers me. he seems so ***** for a boxer.

I read a writer's comments that knowing the problems with Malignaggi's
hands, his people realize that he will have a short career. So he needs to fight, make some good money, and try to end on top while it lasts.

Yeah but I dont buy that. Floyd has bad hands and is now doing well and Gatti also has very bad hands, is a power puncher, and is still fighting.

I think Paulie could go for awhile since he's mostly feather fisted anyway and doesnt throw alot of power shots
