On the eve of their hotly anticipated showdown on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, from Bally’s Main Ballroom in Atlantic City, NJ, airing live on SHOWTIME, Saturday, January 5, 2008 at 8PM, (delayed on the west coast), the charismatic Paulie “The Magic Man” Malignaggi and Herman “The Black Panther” Ngoudjo held workouts for the gathered media.
Malignaggi (23-1, 5 KO’s) displayed the blazing fast handspeed that has brought the flashy New Yorker to the top of the light welterweight division and promised to bring his own brand of boxing to SHOWTIME as he defends the International Boxing Federation (IBF) title for the first time.
Ngoudjo (16-1, 9 KO’s) was all business as the Montreal man glared at the media and predicted a brutal knockout on SHOWTIME of rising star Malignaggi.
This world title bout is promoted by DiBella Entertainment in association with Groupe Yvon Michel and will take place at Bally’s Main Ballroom at Atlantic City, N.J. Tickets priced at $250 and $125 are on sale and can be purchased at the Bally’s Box Office, by calling DiBella Entertainment at (212) 947-2577, Ticketmaster at (800) 736-1420 or by visiting www.ticketmaster.com.
