    And I will have no issue admitting, Amir Khan is the REAL DEAL.

    Malinaggi was taken apart like I thought not possible. Wow.

    It was good fight IMO. I'm laughing at Paulie though it seems like he's trying to make an excuse by saying "I'm not sure, I may be getting old" or something like that. At least he accepted his defeat.

    I thought it was possible.

    Paulie is not an easy opponent.

    But I was surprised at KHAN not puttin more pressure.KHANcould have done a bit more

    than what he showed tonight.

    He is young and will get better.

    It was a jabbing contest. Paulie was never wobbled. A bull**** stoppage, but the money wanted the TKO.

    Fixed fight.

    Malignaggi was schooled badly and I bet this is his most humiliating defeat. He prides himself as "hard to hit" (pfft), and a very skilled boxer. I think he thinks he just got outfought, outmuscled by Hatton and Cotto so it's less damaging to his ego. In this one he just got schooled and Khan is faster. Ouch to his ego.

    Felt bad for him at the end I don't hate the guy at all but I'm glad he got schooled this time after all the **** he talks about Pac because he demolished 2 guys that kicked his ass.

    Watch out for whoever fights Khan next. He's gonna say whoever beats Khan is on roids. Or that Khan is on roids. I didn't see the post fight interview did he make excuses?

    Its when Khan gets caught flush by Maidana and see how he deals with it. Until then he is NOT the real deal.

    taking into context how he said it and his tone and his body language it was accepting that he just got beat and outclassed at his own game. i didnt take it as an excuse for his performance and minimizing khan's performance.

    Wait until he fights real 140 fighters that can punch and jab their way in....Kahn such a good fighter he never manage to knock Paulie down....I wasn't impress at all ,Paulie fought the same way when fighters are very stronger than him.

    Cotto,Hatton ...shell shock.

    Paulie seemed humble at the end of the fight. Both are good guys and you've got to applaud Paulie for coming to fight tonight. The guy has a lot of heart and gave it his all tonight.

    He was humble because Khan humbled him.

    It wasn't surprising. He fought a shorter guy with less reach and no power. Khan showed he has boxing skill though.

    Credits to Roach who taught Khan how to better jab!
