A press conference was held on Wednesday in New York City for the Miguel Cotto-Paul Malignaggi WBO jr welterweight title fight on June 10 at Madison Square Garden. Malignaggi, a boxing historian of sorts, compared this fight to "Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston I and II, Floyd Mayweather-Chico Corrales, and Pernell Whitaker-Julio Cesar Chavez with a different outcome." Cotto commented "Paul talks a good game, but come June 10, let's see if he can back it up." We were told Cotto confronted Malignaggi privately afterward and said "I'm getting ready to have some lunch. Where's my knuckle sandwich?" in response to a statement Paulie made last week.

Promoter Bob Arum, a native New Yorker now based in Las Vegas, stated "Being that I'm from New York, I know what New Yorkers like and New Yorkers are passionate about their boxing. This is going to be a terrific show. In regard to going head-to-head with a rival pay-per-view event, Arum said, "I will not be pushed around or nor will I be disrespected. Tarver-Hopkins could have gone on at any other time. They knew we had the date and they knew what this day meant to the Puerto Rican people. I will not allow the Puerto Rican people to be disrespected. We had the date first. They knew it and they don't give a sh--." Malignaggi's promoter Lou DiBella stated that Paulie has been calling out Cotto since his pro debut. The event is being billed as "West Side Story" and the pay-per-view telecast will include a Top Rank record six fights. Tickets - priced at $300, $200, $100 and $50 - go on sale Friday.

"Where's my knuckle sandwich?" Cotto asks? WTF?!?!?!

Would these batches like some wine with their cheese?

West Side Story, but they are fighting in New York aren't they? Well one of them has to come out to "I feel Pretty" or "Maria Maria"

[Hairdoo]

Am I imagining things or does it seem like the WBO Champions take the longest to unify?

I'am probably way off the mark..

[BrooklyniteQueen]

because nobody is paying attention to them. DeMarcus Corley was WBO champ for a while and called for unification but he never got it, but he was content fighting the Ener Julio's and Randall Baileys of the world.

[SalTheButcher]

does magalini think there will be any fans present?

believe me, the puerto ricans are gonna make it a hometown fight for cotto, and i might just spend 25.00 for some shit seats to scream at this punk ass myself

[BrooklyniteQueen]

and if he wins?

[SalTheButcher]

then we'll tear the building to the ground

i got my moneys$ on malinaggi ...that kids so f****ng fast and so hyper i love him hes gonna do great & run circles around cotto ...if i'm wrong w/e but if i'm right ... 'TOLD U SO!

[Gandalf]

no, i think cotto wins again...

[p4pking]

I definetly like this fight.. It's not out of the question that Paul could outbox Cotto for 12 rounds.. But it's going to be very hard and Im not sure how durable he is.. Or if he can actually crush a grape, if his hand is healthy. Those are the 2 big factors imo.

[Purist]

Whoa, Malignaggi's taller, I wonder if it will be a factor.

[OumaFan]

that I wanna be a Gotti/Backstreet boy cut does add about four inches

seriously, he looks about maybe a half inch to an inch taller, you gotta look at Cotto, he's got his leaning down wheras Paulie's standing straight up

I think it could be an interesting fight, Paulie's style could be frustrating

[SalTheButcher]

MAGALINIS GOT GIRL KNUCKLES,

cotto has got man knuckles

COTTO WILL BE VITORIOUS, AND MAGALINI WILL RETIRE AND ILL NEVER HAVE TO SEE HIS PUNK ASS AGAIN!!!

West Side Story, but they are fighting in New York aren't they? Well one of them has to come out to "I feel Pretty" or "Maria Maria"

West Side Story's setting is in New York, with the Puerto Ricans vs The Jets.













ps. And yes, I'm straight. I just know worthless information.
