By Dominic Sauboorah: Newly crowned WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) beat Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KO’s) by a split decision last night at the Barclays Centre, Brooklyn, New York. It was dramatic before the fight, during the fight and after the fight and was an event that will be highlighted majorly this year in the boxing calendar.
The fight was extremely interesting as Malignaggi attacked the body a lot and who could blame him as he was able to land with ease when he threw his combinations. Broner’s wide stance made it possible for Malignaggi to land shots; however the more meaningful blows I believe came from Broner who tagged Paulie with some clean shots. Broner is now a three time, three weight world champion yet, in this fight, he appeared to be exposed a little bit.
By Allan Fox: Former WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-5,7 KO’s) thinks Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) is making a mistake if he stays at welterweight [147] or if he moves down to light welterweight [140], because Malignaggi says there are too many big punchers in those weight classes and he thinks Broner will have problems with them.

By Dan Ambrose: Last night, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer didn’t want to hear the complaints that members of the media were making about Adrien Broner’s 12 round split decision win over WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KO’s) last Saturday night being a controversial win. 
By Allan Fox: At last night’s post-fight press conference, newly crowned WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) said he wants to go after more world titles in other weight classes. He said specifically that he might move down to 140, 135 or 130 to go after some of world champions in those weight classes. It would appear that Broner doesn’t intend on defending his WBA 147 lb. title. 
Now I don’t know what you all think, but I just witnessed a slightly over the hill WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KO’s) losing a very close hometown 12 round split decision to a very over hyped and somewhat overrated young fighter in Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. 
By Hector Gonzalez: After tonight’s fight, Adrien Broner vs Paulie Malignaggi, Adrien Broner failed to prove that he is boxing’s next big thing. My scorecard is as follows; rounds 1-5, 10 for Malignaggi and rounds 6-9, 11 & 12 for Broner, which would technically be a draw. I believe that some rounds could have gone either way, but I will give Broner enthusiasts the benefit of the doubt because who won and who lost is not the point of the article.
By Dan Ambrose: We found out tonight that Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) isn’t going to be the next Floyd Mayweather Jr. We also found out that he couldn’t even conclusively beat what many boxing fans felt was the weakest of the welterweight champions in WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KO’s).
By Jim Dower: Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) had to struggle badly tonight to defeat WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KO’s) by a 12 round split decision on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The judges scored it 115-113, 117-111 for Broner, and 115-113 for Malignaggi. 
(Photo credit: Tom Casino/Showtime) As an 11 to 1 underdog, hoping Paul Malignaggi knocks out Broner tonight is certainly wishful thinking. I’ve written a few pieces now about showing respect to fighters, even those we don’t like. For tonight though, I’m willing to put that sentiment aside. Let me tell you why I would like to see Broner get dropped tonight, reasons other than hatred.
