Khan size is the key in this fight....Khan will always have a built in-advantage at 140 because of his size....he looks like he has the build of a WW.... I think in this match-up people are underrating malignaggi's speed and overrating khan's speed.....Khan has above average speed at throwing one-punch at time....He is fast when he throws combos in exchanges I have my doubts he is going to be able to get off combos at will on the unortadox movement of malignaggi....I think the fastest one punch of the fight will come from the malignaggi jab.....and he has better footwork then khan....Paulie is not going to change his style for anybody....Khan is going to have to fight malignaggi's fight....and go chasing after Paulie, turning Khan into a pressure fighter, which Paulie loves guys who come forward.....Plus Khan has zero inside game....If he does get into a clinch malignaggi's hands are faster on the inside then khan's.... Watch malignaggi-diaz 2 and you will see in that fight malignaggi got the better of diaz on the inside at times because of his hand speed.... Paulie doesn't want to get into exchanges with khan....or stand still for too long.... Its a closer fight then some make it out to be.....I think either man wins a close decision...
I see Amir taking this. It'll go to the scorecards, we all now from the punishment Paulie took against Cotto that he has a good chin and a lot of heart. However Khan is the faster of the two fighters. I think Paulie probably gets cut by Amir and survives the 12 rounds bravely but conservatively.
