By Scott Gilfoid: WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KO’s) sees his opponent Adrien Broner (26-0, 22 KO’s) breaking down and blubbering and blaming his management after he beats him on June 22nd at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York. Malignaggi gives Broner credit for being a talented fighter, but he doesn’t think his talent will travel up two divisions to beat him.

Malignaggi said to RingTV. “He’s [Broner] going to be very mad at his camp for making this fight…he’s going to cry and he’s going to get made at his people at the end of the fight.”

I think Malignaggi is starting to have some serious delusions about his own skills. He’s probably not going to win this fight or even come close to winning it because he’s coming into it without the skills necessary to get the victory.

The power just isn’t there for Malignaggi, and he’s certainly not going to jab Broner into submission like he did with Vyacheslav Senchenko. That’s not going to happen. Broner is a lot better than Senchenko, and he can do a lot of different things in terms of fighting on the inside, throwing to the body and defending.

Senchenko didn’t have those options going for him when he lost to Malignaggi by a 9th round TKO in April of last year. Malignaggi won’t be able to beat Broner by merely jabbing him and trying to not get hit in return. Broner will be all over Malignaggi, nailing him in the head and body and making him miserable.

In Broner’s last fight against Gavin Rees last February, Broner looked especially powerful in taking out a fighter who usually has a good chin. Rees never stood a chance in that fight and ended up taking a beating before the referee stopped the fight.

In contract, Malignaggi struggled badly in his last fight in barely beating Pablo Cesar Cano by a 12 round split decision in October of last year.
