Is it because Buddy McGirt's 'Kiss of Death' is slowly affecting him. If Paulie keeps this up, his next fight will be a defeat!
Yes, Buddy is a terrible trainer, curse or not. Buddy is now showing clear signs of brain damage, telling sluggers to box and vice versa, his corner work is appalling, I would rather have Billy Blanks in my corner.
I don't blame McGirt for Malignaggi's slide.. IMO, it has to do with his mental & stress over his hands. He no longer throws his punches with any conviction. (He never generated much Power to begin with, imagine now!)
McGirt, complacency, Cotto bashing his brains, his opposition since having styles to make it ugly and rough... ...any combination thereof.
Malignaggi's seems to suffering from a disease that is sweeping the nation, but he has the worst case of metro sexual I have ever seen.
Malignaggi has never been close to elite, exciting or have to watch material.... His fame was getting his face broken by Miguel Cotto.
