People are remembering that fight in a way to suit their perceptions (Cotto a god, Malignaggi an over-rated clown). Malignaggi was outboxing Cotto pretty well most of the time after round two through round nine. I think I had it even going into the tenth when Cotto took over and punished Paulie the last three. But it wasn't a one-sided beating (but a beating at the end nevertheless) or a blow-out by any means.
Paulie didn't outbox ****, in fact he fought a stupid fight, and should have never agreed to that phone booth of a ring they fought in. Watch the fight again, I just did. Cotto lost rounds, Paulie didn't win them.
