    Paulie hurting guys in sparring?

    This hasn't gotten out much and it could be an unrealiable source, though word is that since his hand has healed, he's been hurting guys in sparring in higher weight classes. From the other boxing site, here's a quote, "Malignaggi also believes that now that his right hand has healed that he can hurt Cotto and actually knock him out. While that sounds laughable consider the fact that Malignaggi has been hurting his sparring partners in preparation for this bout; many of whom fight in higher weight classes."

    This was more in the form of an article and maybe the guy who wrote it was making it up and doesn't have any source. Though it sure makes it a lot more tempting to watch even more so now to see if Cotto gets surprised by Paulie if he infact does show any kind of power. Paulie definitely has the element of surprise going into this fight, though I still don't favor him winning IF Cotto comes in 20lbs over. They fight on even terms and I like Paulie by UD.

    I doubt thats true, if Paulie has true KO power he would easily dominate the division, yes he would dominate the division. But he doesn't have KO power because of his brittle hands.

    I must admit, I wouldn't mind seeing an upset, but it is unlikely. These stories always come out before fights and really never show to impressive after the fight.

      Still, you dont need KO power to dominate. Hes a brilliant boxer and even without power he can do some great things. Just ask Sweet Pea
