    I don't think Porter is all that impressive. Good young fighter for sure, but Paulie has seen much better in his day. I've seen Alfonso Gomez, Julio Diaz, and Devon Alexander consistently be able to win rounds against Porter, albeit in losses or draws. Porter's performances have been very workmanlike against his best opposition, nothing spectacular. I can definitely see a talented boxer, such as Malignaggi, taking 6-8 rounds from Porter and winning a close decision.

    Porter will walk through him

    Think Porter could stop him on a cut but not sure about normally

    Pretty much what everyone expects Porter to do .


    Malignaggi is in for a hard fight .

    Because Porter is definitely no Broner .

    Paulie has always been kinda one dimensional tho. Everything's in a straight line and has a poor defense tho he has the chin. Neither has big power so I'm expecting a good back and forth fight. Only real advantage I see for Paulie is he's consistent with what he does and only loses to mostly elite fighters. Porter recently looked very good vs Alexander and Diaz II, but in the first Diaz fight looked very beatable. I think Porter wins by SD12.
