Picking Malignaggi for the upset tomorrow

I'm picking PM to upset AB tomorrow. Quick breakdown of the last 10 fights.

PM last 10 opponents have a combined record of 305-22. Most notable names Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Juan Diaz.

AB last 10 opponents have a combined record of 278-33. Most notable names Antonio Demarco, Daniel Ponce De Leon, Jason Litzau.

If we begin by looking at resume/competition we know that PM is definately the more experienced fighter. This is a step up for Broner but all the hype is clouding that aspect. Broner has NEVER gone 12 rounds and he has only seen the 10th round once.

PM will take him into the deep water. I don't believe Broner will be able to stop PM.

Broner is moving up two weight classes. While I won't put too much into it. I don't think it will help his speed. I don't think it will help his movement. When you have a fighter that has never gone 12; how will he react when he has to go 12 rounds with all the extra weight.

AB is not dynamic when he comes to footwork so PM has the advantage when it comes to footwork. If you look at the guys that he has fought in his last 10 fights you see hardly any head or foot movement which allows AB to get in his wide stance and do what hes been doing.

PM is not going to stand in front of him like a punching bag. Pauly is going to show him head and foot movement that he has not seen in the ring as of yet.

I think PM's defensive skills are good enough to offset AB hand speed and power.

Furthermore, if you look at the guys that PM has lost two they have different styles than Broner. Cotto at 140 was a killer that was when his left hook was on the money. PM fought with a broken orbital bone. Miguel used to stalk and cut off the ring. What he does is subtle and effective with great timing.

AK has a different type of herky-jerky foot and hand speed. AB does not posses the foot speed of AK and AK throws punches in bunches. While AB throws less punches and has a wide foot stance.

I think PM pulls the upset tomorrow. I will be in the building!

 

What makes you think that AB is going to walk down PM? This goes to my point of PM footwork. You are too used to seeing him against guys that are more stationary than PM and much smaller than him and that is why you have that impression.

Because he has been stopping 130 lbrs he is now going to stop PM on the basis of what exactly?

 

Who said AB has slow feet? I said PM has an edge on foot speed advantage and that ABs wide stance is what prevents him from having a more dynamic foot speed which will be to Pauly's advantage.

No one is talking about Floyd so keep Floyd out of the thread.

 

I put a $100 on Pauly who gives a F*ck about Vcash...lol

You trying to bet me when you have no Vcash? lol

 

Unless PM stands in front of Broner I don't see Brokers power being a factor in this fight at all. I agree that the odds were to good to pass up.

 

Thanks for the intelligent explanation. By the way you guys judge fights in Texas YDKNSAB.
