I really think the speed of Zab bothers Paulie in this one. Malignaggi looked absolutely lost at certain times against Khan because of the speed difference. And while Zab may be on the decline, he's still plenty swift.
Judah looked just as bad if not worse against Khan. Khan's speed wasn't the only thing bothering both fighters, it was also his length.
Man I was wondering when this fight would take place. They're both really popular in the east coast and are among the biggest talkers. Love them or hate them, this one has high entertainment value. Needs to happen it'd be a fun fight.
But if you remember, Judah was doing a pretty good job of avoiding Khans shots for the majority of the bout. The speed and which his combos were coming at was what was bothering Judah as well. Malignaggi was eating everything under the sun and he's fought guys with similar reach to Khan and done well. The difference was how fast Khan was that night.
Are you serious? Who in the hell wants to see either one of these bums? They can't hang with any of the top fighters in their divisions, and will never be legitimate champions unless they beat the real champions, and we all know who they are. If they want to fight each other great, go in the backyard and fight it out. Interest in that fight is crap! Malignaggi never was anything but a loud mouth wannabe boxer. He failed miserably each time he tried fighting top fighters. I can't stand that guy, and now he's fighting some clown that holds some abc belt. Hmm....... real champions. Malignaggi, go away for good and get a real job, no one this way even knows you, and the real fight fans know you as a loud mouth fool who never did crap in boxing. Go away for good! Zab was a solid fighter that was a true champion for awhile, and he fought top guys all the time. He could never really hang with top guys like Mayweather, Kostya Tzu and other champions, but he fought them all. He's a good family man, and well respected. Malignaggi on the other hand never did anything but run his mouth. Big difference
Very nice conclusions. This would def be a battle to the finish. There isnt a better more even fight out there it has got to happen, soon. Pauly can def avoid zabs left hand but can he stay away from zabs lightning jabs? Zab can take paulies best hands even with.his fragile chin but paylie has plenty of lateral movement and quick hands to trouble judah and even outwork him. I give zab a slight advantage only because i think hes really motivated at thr moment
I think we all agree that these two dont deserve a fight at the elite level yet and sjouldnt be handed freebies like mayorga but i def think that the winner of this fight would have a final run at a legit tittlor atleast they can put up a foty type fight
You seem like one of those types that only shows up for the main event on a fight card. Not a fan of boxing but a fan of specific boxers. I love watching amateurs, rookie pros, journeymen prospects, gate keepers, and the superstars. Zab is a gate keeper who could have been more in my opinion. Paulie is a journeyman who talked his way into being more with athleticism that betters some champions (as seen by him holding a titles). I would love to see this fight! When and if Paulie wins a title at 147 he looks to defend it in Barclay center in NYC. Why not put an all Brooklyn main event together? It would pack the house! So rarely are Fights of the year between two superstars. Look at ward and gatti- neither of them were elite, but their hearts drove them to amazing lengths to put on a great show! Paulie doesn't have the power to dishearten Zab so Zab would be game through the whole fight. Paulie has a chin like few others and would be there throwing at the end too! Make it happen!!
good fight. I think Judah is a level above and that Paulie doesn't posesss the attributes needed to give Judah trouble, namely power and relentlessness. Judah wins big, most likely by late stoppage or wide UD. You gotta be able to hurt Zab and bully him to break his weak will, if his will can't be broken (Paulie can't do it) there's no one out there that can macth skills with him besides Mayweather.
Zab by tko round 10. Zab is fast, skilled and has the power to knock out with one punch. Paulie is fast, but has no power to hurt Zab .. Paulie no has faced left-handers, he will have big problems facing a lefty faster than him.
The only possible outcome is a draw, since neither guy is capable of winning anything that looks like a big fight. This isn't exactly a big fight, but it's close enough to throw them both off their games.
I agree it would be a good fight to watch, fast punches high output. Decent card for NY boxing HBO BAD. Get Danny Jacobs or Yuri Foreman on there Predict Judah TKO Paulie late rounds
