Paulie Malignaggi approved for a European Title shot!
Malignaggi’s European title challenge moves a step closer | World Boxing News
Apparently he lived in Sicily for a while and his Italian roots will qualify him to challenge 44 year Old Gianluca Branco for the 147lb EBU Title in Italy. Surely an easy fight for Paulie. Tentative date of October for the fight, so maybe he'll still fight Garcia in August.

Ha! I thought for a minute that his repeated performances on Sky Sports had earned him the right :-)

Re: Paulie Malignaggi approved for a European Title shot!
This is the kind of fight Paulie should stick to. He was a really good boxer, but having no punch whatsoever to begin with, then losing your legs, coming off a bad stoppage/concussion all points to why bother. He has seemed aware and talked of these things as well, much more than is typical for aging fighters, which makes his fighting Garcia seem even more off to me. Being such a damn good pundit/commentator, I don't see why he'd risk that, as bad as the Garcia has been looking. No matter what, Paulie isn't going to hurt him and risks getting chinned badly at any point. Watch him against Porter again, he can't quite get out of the way anymore and that's BAD for a guy with his toolbox.

It's like being approved for a credit card.
I'd say that it cheapens the sport, but this is boxing we're talking about.

Re: Paulie Malignaggi approved for a European Title shot!
This is disgraceful and should not be allowed. These plastic Europeans coming over here and taking our titles is just not on. What next we all emanated from Africa so he could fight for the African title? Where will this madness take us?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
