    His win vs. Vilches was an IBF eliminator. He is now Malignaggi's mandatory challenger. I don't know how long Paulie has to fight him, but if they do fight... who wins?

    Both are at a similar level, but Malignaggi's style is perfect to beat Urango. Ricky Hatton, a natural swarmer, outboxed Urango like there was no tomorrow. Malignaggi has more skill, better footwork and has the chin to stay safe until the final bell. Of course, the fact that his fists are lighter than feathers mean he isn't going to hurt the tough Urango, but that's never bothered Malignaggi too much in the past.

    Urango would knock out Malignaggi.

    The thing with Paulie is he might try to stay and flurry and get KTFO, I have him winning a decision.

    Urango was made to look sluggish by Hatton, who is a brawler rather than boxer. Paulie could outbox Urango, but doesn't have the power to keep him off.

    I could see either a comfortable UD (117-111) or a beating KO9 possibly for Paulie.

    Not likely, Cotto smashed Paulie senseless but couldnt knock him out.

    Yea but he whipped Paulie

    Paulie UD anyway, or Urango KO if he lands, will he land?

    Cotto wasn't that great a light-welter - he looked half dead at the weigh in for the Paulie fight!

    Ngoudjo drew with Paulie IMO, and Urango would be pretty much the same.

    Herman will now be avoided, given that he lost debatable ones to Castillo and Paulie!

    Paulie should be able to outbox Urango. He just has to stay out of Urango's wheelhouse.

    Even though I expect him to win Malignaggi has to get past Lovemore Ndou before this fight will happen.

    Paulie by a wide UD, he would have too much for Urango who like mentioned earlier, was sluggish against Hatton
