British Boxing Could Be The Future
By Sean Campbell: Anyone who saw the Paulie Malignaggi/Juan Diaz fight enjoyed a good, close, competitive bout, with Paulie giving the best performance of his career.

There was no way that the margin between the fighters was that much, let alone Diaz being the winner. Many saw Malignaggi getting robed that night.
