Thread: Amir Khan v Paulie Malignaggi

Anyone gonna watch this tonight? It's back on channel 3 so we don't have to pay for it any more.


Should be a decent fight, they where almost scraping at the weigh in.

A general rule of thumb in the States is not to fuck with guys named "Paulie".

Fuck sakes, Kevin Mitchell just got stopped in the 3rd.

2:30 ish i think

Malignaggi is pish, khan will be to quick for him, Unfortunetly.

6th round ko

Khan took him apart. Completely dominated.

Khan raped him.

I hate Khan but actually glad he pounded Malignaggi, he looked an utter bender.

i like khan tbh, anyone catch the undercard with kavanagh fella? meant to be a good fighter in the making, if roach is training him he must have something

Aye Khan is gonna be really good.

Under the guidance of Ariza and Roach he'll go far.

I'm no sure about that mate, he's very fast and very technical, and looked good his last couple of fights, but he has a glass jaw.

As long as they go the british way and keep him away from the top fighters in the division he'll be fine and make a lot of money for all parties

He had a very weak against Prescott and subsequent bouts, but under roach everything will improve.

Also I feel that the Prescott destruction had a lasting impact on him,in fact he may always have that in the back of his mind. But Manny was beaten earlier in his career and I feel not having the unbeaten record will mean Khan will take more risks - unlike a Mayweather/Nas type.

Sparring with the Greatest boxer in the world day in day out for weeks at a timewill dreamatically improve him as well.

Freddie has seen somehting special in him imo.

He won't be a Manny but he'll be good.

You cant teach someone not to have a glass jaw though mate. Roach can help him not get hit much, but when it comes to the big fights you have to be able to take the blows, and I don't think he can tbh.

Time will tell, he has been very impressive in his last two fights though, I'll give him that.

Aye you're right there man, he'll get the threshold of pain he requires working with Ariza,but that can't translate into staying on your feet when it comes crunch time.

But I don't necessarily think his jaw was/is as bad as people make out. Not saying he's a Vitali or anything, but his entire movement wasnaive early in his pro career,so when he planted oth feet to the floor it was obvious he'd get stuck on his bum.

I don't think he's a great, but I think he'll push to go down well in history and that could mean him fighting some pretty good contests in the future.
