The commentating started around the same time, but this big win helped change the opinion of many at the time on Paulie from the absolutely despised trash talking light puncher to the savvy veteran overcoming physical limits. I'm glad it happened. I was one of few who valued and liked the guy during his come up.
Very fond memories of this occasion. I seem to agree with you on very little ordinarily, but, have a 'Like'.
One of my favourite performances from Malignaggi almost as good as his performance at the Broner press conference where he verbally smacked Broner around the room, lol.
This was a fight that, for me, actually justified the quality of Malignaggi. After the loss to Khan many were wondering if he still had it, and would instead become a bit of a journeyman. But he showed there were still levels to the game and he was above Senchenko.
Good performance but Senchenko was pretty crap let's be honest, even for the "typical upright European boxer" he was VERY basic, I think his best asset was he was a strong welterweight. I mean even the corpse of the ghost of alcoholic Ricky Hatton was beating him pretty handily until his body gave out
