Broner-Malignaggi quotes for June 22nd fight on Showtime from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, ...
This Saturday in Brooklyn, New York, WBA welterweight champion, Paulie
Malignaggi, 32-4, 7 KO’s, tries to hold onto his title against the “next
big thing” in boxing, Adrien Broner, 26-0, 22 KO’s, who is moving up
from lightweight to challenge. This is a very compelling matchup with
some serious questions posed to both men. The easy pick is Broner, but
his reputation hasn’t matched his record, yet.
Malignaggi has been around forever it seems. His feather-fisted,
charismatic and talented fighter has had ups and downs throughout his
career. In 2006, he took on a prime Miguel Cotto and went 12 rounds,
taking a beating early but coming on later in the fight.
Paulie Malignaggi (No. 4) vs. Adrien Broner (No. 1 lightweight, No. 6 P4P)

12 rounds – Welterweight division (for Malignaggi’s WBA title)
Date: Saturday, June 22, 2013
Where: Brooklyn, N.Y. (SHOWTIME), USA.

He didn’t do enough to win, but did enough to prove that he can go 12
rounds with one of the best in the game. His performance was compared to
Hector Camacho’s with Julio Cesar Chavez. They both took beatings but
made it to the finish line.
After picking up the IBF welterweight title, Paulie would lose to the
mauling and powerful Ricky Hatton. It would be the first time that he
was stopped. He just couldn’t get a grasp on the Hatton attack and got
frustrated and paid the price in the end for it.
The next defeat was at the hands of Juan “Baby Bull” Diaz in Texas and
the hometown cooking was in effect. Diaz won by a landslide and most
observers felt that Malignaggi clearly won. They would rematch Chicago
and Paulie would cruise to an easy unanimous decision, correcting the
injustice that occurred in the first bout.
Malignaggi would get stopped by Amir Khan in 2010, but would rebound
with five straight victories over very decent opposition, but Broner
seems to be well beyond “decent.” Broner has all of the tools to be a
mega star in boxing and has targeted Malignaggi as his first conquest in
the welterweight division.

This afternoon at 12:30 pm EDT, streaming live right here on BLH, you
can see the full Malignaggi-Broner weigh-in event from Brooklyn, as the
Showtime fighters hit the scales for tomorrow night's big card at the
Barclays Center.
Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KO) and Broner (26-0, 22 KO) will be fighting with a
147-pound limit and Malignaggi's WBA welterweight title in the main
event. It's been a long cycle of major trash talk between the two, and
it comes to a head tomorrow night. Hopefully there will be no "shoving
matches" today, but it's about the only thing the pre-fight hype has
been lacking thus far.
Also hitting the scales today: Heavyweights Johnathon Banks and Seth
Mitchell, and super middleweights Sakio Bika and Marco Antonio Periban.
Both fights will be part of the Showtime broadcast, starting at 9:00 pm
EDT tomorrow. Showtime Extreme will go live at 7:00 pm EDT with fights
featuring Julian Williams, Marcus Browne, and maybe Rau'Shee Warren
(he's got the swing bout). You'll also see Jamel Herring, Robert Easter,
and others weigh in for their bouts today.
