The sicilian warrior is BACK!

Yawn.

 

From Dan Rafael's notebook...

• Coming off a lopsided loss to Hatton in November, former junior welterweight titlist Paulie Malignaggi (25-2, 5 KOs) is on the comeback trail. Malignaggi, who complained bitterly when his corner stopped the Hatton fight in the 11th round, faces Chris Fernandez (16-6-1, 5 KOs) in an eight-round untelevised match April 25 on the Carl Froch-Jermain Taylor undercard. "Paulie has been busting my [chops] every day to get him a fight," promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com. "I love the kid. Paulie is a proud person and he wants to get back in the ring. He wants to get distance from the poorest performance of his career against Hatton." If Malignaggi wins, he'll probably meet undefeated prospect Mike Alvarado on June 27 on the Pavlik-Mora PPV card. "We've had conversations with Top Rank about the fight," DiBella said. "It's an attractive fight. This [April 25] fight is a way for Paulie to get back in the groove and see how he feels. He wants to fight Alvarado, and hopefully that fight will be made. We're talking numbers, but first he has this fight."

 

Good to see Paulie back in action. Hopefully he get back on the right track. He looked horrible against Hatton.

 

:rofl He should keep away from boxing, Magic man is a joke.

 

At best he could pick up another paper title, but he will never be elite, just no power.

 

I'd still pay good coin to see that guido get KTFO. :yep

 

Good for him,Fernandez is a good comeback fight.
He should win a lopsided decision.

 

Stay away from Alvarado.

 

That ***** has been beaten three times already and he should just go away.

 

Actually twice.

 

hes slick enough to still get a title, i just hope he regains his confidence

 

He should go back to hanging out with his Avenue U boyz...
