By Dan Ambrose: Paulie Malignaggi says he doesn’t get what’s so special about the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fight, and he feels that the Gennady “GGG” Golovkin vs. Daniel Jacobs match-up is a much better fight in terms of entertainment. I think for a lot of boxing fans, they agree with Malignaggi.

Canelo-Chavez Jr. pales in comparison to the Golovkin-Jacobs fight, which matches two of the best fighters in the middleweight division today against each other. Golovkin and Jacobs are two knockout artists with 62 knockouts between them.

By Eric Baldwin: Welterweights Paulie Malignaggi and Sam Eggington have been added to the David Haye vs. Tony Bellew card on March 4 at the O2 Arena in London, UK. The 36-year-old Malignaggi (36-7, 7 KOs) might soon regret taking this fight against the 23-year-old Eggington (19-3, 11 KOs).

It’s a bad match-up for Malignaggi at this point in his career. Eggington is coming off of a big 8th round TKO win over Frankie Gavin last October, and he’s looking very good right now. Two of Eggington’s defeats in his career have come in 3 round fights.

By Allan Fox: WBA World light welterweight champion Ricky Burns (41-5-1, 14 KOs) could be facing 36-year-old former two division world champion Paulie Malignaggi in March at the SSE Hydro, in Glasgow, Scotland. The fight is one of the two options for Burns. The other option a unification fight between Burns and IBF 140lb champion Julius Indongo (21-0, 11 KOs), who recently stopped champion Eduard Troyanovskiy in the 1st round to capture his IBF belt.

Burns will take the best paying fight of the two. Burns was supposed to be fighting former four division world champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner, but he decided to fight Adrian Granados in a fight in February.

Malignaggi wants to teach McGregor a lesson

by

By Scott Gilfoid: If former two division world champion Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi (36-7, 7 KOs) gets his way, he’s going to be the one to teach UFC star Conor McGregor a lesson if he chooses to fight inside of a boxing ring rather than inside a cage.

The 28-year-old McGregor recently picked up a boxing license to fight in California, and he’s very interested in fighting retired superstar boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. if he comes out of retirement.

Malignaggi surprised HBO not televising Pacquiao-Vargas

By Patrick McHugh: HBO decided recently not to televise the November 5 fight between Top Rank promoted welterweights Manny Pacquiao and Jessie Vargas for their fight at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. HBO reportedly wants to televise the Pacquiao-Vargas fight on October 29 in order to package it with the Tyson Fury vs. Wladimir Klitschko fight card.

Showtime commentator Paulie Malignaggi was surprised that HBO chose not to televise the Pacquiao-Vargas fight because he still sees the Filipino star as capable of bringing in pay-per-view buys at this point in his career, even though his last fight against Tim Bradley was said to have done poorly in not selling what he’d done in the past.

Malignaggi impressed by Spence’s win over Bundu

By Allan Fox: Former two division world champion Paulie Malignaggi was highly impressed with what he saw on Sunday with unbeaten #2 IBF 147lb contender Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) stopping a very game Leonard Bundu (33-2-2, 12 KOs) in the 6th round in an IBF welterweight eliminator bout at the Ford Amphitheater in Coney Island, in Brooklyn, New York. Malignaggi liked the way that the 26-year-old Spence thought his way through a somewhat difficult fight against the 41-year-old Bundu.

It wasn’t that Spence was losing the fight at any time, according to Malignaggi. It was the constant pressure that Bundu was creating that made Spence have to think his way through the fight. Malignaggi liked what he saw from Spence, and he feels that he’ll be in a big fight either by the end of 2016 or in early 2017.

Malignaggi vs. Bracero punch stats

by

malignagi7

By Eric Baldwin: Paulie Malignaggi (36-7, 7 KOs) put in a dominating performance in defeating Gabriel Bracero (24-3, 5 KOs) by a 10 round unanimous decision last night in front of a large crowd at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. At times, it looked like the classic Malignaggi that we’d seen from him in the past in out-boxing his opponent and looking very sharp.

Malignaggi looked surprisingly good for a fighter 35-years-old, who has a major gif working as a boxing commentator for Showtime Sports. Malignaggi looked a lot better than he did a year ago in getting stopped in the 9th round by Danny Garcia in August 2015. Malignaggi didn’t have the punching power to compete with Garcia in that contest.

Purses: Santa Cruz $1M, Frampton $500K

(Photo credit Amanda Westcott/SHOWTIME) By Dan Ambrose: WBA featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 KOs) will be getting $1 million purse on Saturday night for his title defense against Irish fighter Carl Frampton (22-0, 14 KOs) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Frampton, who is coming all the way from Northern Ireland for the fight, will be getting half as much as Santa Cruz at $500,000.

It’s not bad money for Frampton, but I’m betting that he’s thinking of the much bigger paydays he can receive in the future if he beats Santa Cruz to win his WBA belt.

Malignaggi, 35, describes the fight as a crossroads type of fight. He’s not talking about retiring if he loses the contest, but it’s obviously an option if things go wrong for him inside the ring.
