I hope that Paulie stays sharp because he's going to need to be nearly flawless. I think Khan is very beatable by a guy like Paulie ... and I hope that Paulie imposes his will against Khan like he did against Diaz ... keep the jab working and move ... avoid exchanges because Khan likes to brawl ... don't un load that right hand until late becauase his right is good but brittle as ****!
I can't agree more. Khan has never needed to show he has a good defense game and paulie is dangerous when it comes to cuts. While he hasn't knocked anyone out in years, he has cut open a good deal of fighters in some tricky spots that if he just pushed his agenda a bit more may have been stopped by the ref/doc. Lets see if Khan can have a strong defense game... I think Paulie earns the W in this one.
kahan will just move in hit and move out , for me hes to quick for paulie , i know paulies got a great chin but i see khan punishing him for 12
Khan is beatable but definitely not by Malignaggi. I don't like Khan but I think he'll look sensational in beating Malignaggi to be honest.
I still favor khan in a close fight....However, people will be shocked how fast the malignaggi jab will be compared to khan's jab....That will be the shocking part is how on par paulie's speed will be against khan....Khan's speed will be neutralized a bit because of the awkward movement of malignaggi.... Paulie has way better footwork then Khan, Khan still like to sit flat-footed when throwing combos...
I think Maliggnagi can even hurt Khan in this fight, he hurt Diaz in the last fight and diaz has a better chin than Khan, i think Maliggnagi is punching with a lot more authority know.
I think Paulie's jab will give Khan alot of trouble, the only problem is that it's his only weapon and if Khan can somehow deal with it, then he will beat Paulie easily.
big paulie fan....always will be anybody know anything about a venue for this? i was hearing the wamu theatre....but havent heard anything.....just went to the theatre part of the garden for the first time....for juanma/gamboa doubleheader....great atmopshere/place to see fights....i really hope this fight could land there...but its small...
And Diaz is a come forward fighter who had his hands down. Do you think Khan, with Roach in his corner now, will let Malignaggi have a chance to land any big shots?
I shall be betting on paulie via KO/TKO because Khan simply has a bad chin, Khan could box the **** out of paulie the entire fight but all it takes is a stiff jab to get khans legs going. I am hoping lots of money will go on khan for some nice odds on paulie.
I've never understood the hype around Malignaggi...why do people call him slick? It's seriously confusing to me. I remember watching him against N'dou and wanting to facepalm. Even against Diaz, he had no idea how to capitalise when he eventually did hurt him. To be fair, I need to watch more of his fights, but from what I've seen I really don't see the big deal. Khan is far from a complete fighter too, but he at least impresses me with the sheer level of his speed, and the way he puts punches together combined with the in and out movement. His chin is flaky and his defense still needs more tightening, though.
first of all, paulie will have to match khan punch for punch if he wants to beat him on points... and hes not gonna knock him out. so how do you see him beating khan? :think
