lots of excellent points for both guys...
if i had to make one bet,it would be ricky by decision(given the promotion)...but,i can see why some like malignaggi...he actually looks a good deal bigger..
i wish paulie had looked a little better in his last few fights,though...i really wasn`t impressed...he looked discouraged at times...
as for ricky`s performance vs lazcano,lazczno`s a big,raw-boned ,durable guy and win/lose or draw is usually a long, hard night`s work for anybody given the fact that he`s almost impossible to get out of there....
malignaggi seemed surprisingly easy to hit in his last few bouts....he`s taken some punishment..
could the wear and tear be taking a toll?...and will those hands hold up?...
unless ricky is shot,malignaggi will be on the backfoot all night and given the promotion,if ricky`s the aggressor(which he will be),paulie will have to make him look awfully bad to garner a decision...
i wasn`t very inyerested in this until i started reading the comments...
now i`m goosed...
that`s why i love this place...:toast:
