Will Malignaggi get KNOCKED OUT come April 19th ??? I think Porter has a good chance of doing it . Malignaggi recently spoken on Porter saying "Porter is a good fighter and I'm sure he'll be a champion again in the future, but he doesn't have the tools or experience to beat me." Yeah he pretty much said same thing about Amir Khan and then went on to get dominated and TKO'ED in the 11th . I got Porter in this fight . Although I have a great deal of respect for Paulie . I have always said that . The dude know he cant punch for shi.t and yet he still rufuses to duck any of the young lions coming up . RESPECT .
I like both guys, will be rooting for Porter though - hes the hometown dude for me. Good fight, but I think Porter sends Paulie to the announcers desk permanently. Which isnt a bad thing really, since Paulie is quite good at that position.
Paulie is relying on his matador skills to tame Porter. It might work if he can keep it up but I doubt it. Porter will probably wax that ass.
To be Honest , Im only a fan of Malignaggi . Porter , not just yet.... But i feel Malignaggi has bitten off way more he can chew in this fight . This is not Broner Porter is really physical and the fact theres 0% chance of Paulie hurting him is just going to make it worse . Porter knowing that himself will be pushing for the Knockout all night long . Although Knocking Paulie out is no easy feat . He has a pretty good chin on him and in my opinion Khan is the only man to stop him . (That Hatton stopagge was bullsh#t) . It wont be easy , but i think Porter can get it done .
Yup . I also see Malignaggi using his footwork/slickness to evade Porter attack . Yet the second half of the fight is when things will get really interesting and dangerous for Paulie .
Rolling with Porter on this one ,He is going to make this fight ugly ..Paulie beat a faded Judah lets not act like he put on a clinic over a guy close to his prime .
Rounds 6 to 12 are the rounds we need to watch out for . Showtime is going to come into the ring with nothing but KNOCKOUT on his mind .
It was a very good performance from Paulie . But unfortunately for the magic man that is the hurtful truth .
Shawn Porter - I will steamroll Malignaggi "I fought hard to get this title. Paulie says he wants it, but is he willing to go through me to get it?" said Porter. "Fighting Malignaggi is like fighting Alexander. They don't have the strength or power to keep me away, and I will steamroll Paulie on my way to victory April 19."
I can see a potential TKO... Paulie doesn't hold like Alexander does, so Porter will be able to work, but his chin is too good, so he's not getting much worse than TKO'd... And we still have to see if Porter can even win it, I'm not entirely sure
Bc Paulie can fill the seats and get people tuning in without a promoter losing his prospect. Against top tier, in their prime hard hitting fighters Paulie will most likely lose..so the promoters guy gets the win and at the same time the venue does well. You put somebody like Thurman in and he ****s around and destroys his opponent and he doesn't fill the seats...this aint good for business two different ways.
