Broner Confirms He Will Face Malignaggi For WBA Title - Boxing News

Count me out of watching that happy horseshit, somebody else will have to do the fight/chat thread.

For those who hate this kid I suppose there is nothing he can do.

He's tried for Burns twice in two different weight classes.

There was hope that it could be done after Ricky split from Warren. It appears now that the split was not as clean as it seemed and that Warren may have legal standing. Burns could be in court and in limbo for the next year or more. Gamboa is on the slow boat to irrelevance.

No rule exists that he must stop at every half division along the way. If he wants to bypass 140 then so be it. He's still moving up 2 divisions to a direct title shot. Not unlike guys like Armstrong, Floyd, Manny and countless others. Yes its a trinket and I share your pain in that regard but they are all trinkets. To bad Paulie cant crack an egg yolk because his movement and speed could possibly bring Broner out of his comfort zone.

@IamInuit - That's another reason the fight is unwatchable for me, besides Pauli having no power, his fights are snoozers. Pauli vs. broner? That's a horrible matchup.
But to tell you the truth, I just can't stand looking at broner and I won't do a fight/chat thread no-matter who he's fighting. The only broner fight I ever plan on watching is a re-play of a fight when he gets his puny ass kicked.

If Broner does lose, you'll be pissed you didn't watch.
Broner is hard to take, I'll be the first to admit that, I find myself thinking bad thoughts when he pulls some of his BS, but I'm looking foreward to the next thing he does to keep things stirred up.
Is he really following Floyd to SHOWTIME or doing some hardball negotiating with HBO for three or four mil a fight? There are probably some folks at HBO who are losing sleep. I hope!

No I won't, i'll just gleefully watch the re-play. Since ya'll seem to be big fans, why don't you and Inuit get together and do Broner's fight/chat threads?
Seriously, i'd rather attempt to fuck a cactus, then watch one of boner's fights, even with the sound muted.

I'll tell you all something though, Broner is not Amir Khan. He's not much of a mover nor does he cut off the ring all that well. Since Paulie has no pop and he does win (I too thought Cano won) volume, movement and Jabs. I see him as a bigger Miguel Vazquez with less life in his legs who I pegged to win against Broner.

I can actually see Paulie winning this one if he does what he does well: circle and jab.

I don't think that Pauli has enough in his tank to sustain Broner and I am pretty sure that Broner's manager picked Pauli exactly for that reason; to teach Adrian how to box against a huge mover with speed.... without great risks of losing.

Thank God. That is, that he is not Amir Khan. I have to disagree on the not cutting off the ring thing. That is exactly what Broner does with his extra wide stance behind the shoulder while seeking to destroy you.
