I had Khan locked to beat Paulie..... and its usually foolish to let a fighters words fool you, but from the sounds of paulie, and some here on esb has been saying his hands arent giving him as much issue right now and hes been 'hurting' people in camp, combined with khan having to have move training camp and all that.... i have to admit im starting to think the fight i was so sure about is becoming dicey for me. :think
Just in case some havnt seen this thread it has some Malignaggi open workouts, he does look to be hitting harder. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=225016 god i hope paulie wins this... i didnt give him much of a chance at fist but his talk is making me think he really does have a chance. I find that to be a mistake when you put much stock into words but hes really making me think he can do this.

I seem to remember Kevin "3 power punches" Johnson talking about winning over Klitschko in a very similar fashion to how Malignaggi is saying he will win over Khan. (Johnson even got some ESB people convinced he stood a chance during an interview). I know of course, comparing Johnson to Malignaggi is just stupid, but the point is that you need alot more than talk to win a fight of this caliber. And Malignaggi is alot of talk. Edit: Must say though he is looking quite sharp in the open workout videos

I ask because I want to know if you're betting specifically on that...or just that Khan wins? Because if you're betting specifically on Khan beating the ever loving **** out of Malignaggi then I'll take that bet...otherwise. Nevermind.
I have started not to bet on a fight unless i 100% know both fighters or confident on a pick, too many of my losses have come from random guesses due to seeing the odd clip of them and just presuming they would win :-( Therefore no Nashiro vs Cazares pick for me this week :good (i think Nashiro will win a UD for what its worth i hope i dont kick myself after the fight wishing i put the pick in)

I have big plans for you on Saturday night." - Antonio Margarito Margarito 154 Garcia 153 I am pumped for this fight actually, i think this will be more competive then some think.... i might actually end up watching this.
