Malignaggi v Broner / Mitchell v Banks Chat Thread

[Addicted to_boxing]

Bika - Periban. Both hopelessly swinging for the rafters, there are so many super middles that are probably licking their lips after watching that crappy microwave meal and quite a lot of middles getting the cutlery out.

Mitchell-Banks. Was Banks waiting for a signal to finish it that never came or was he worried after nearly accidentally finishing off his next meal ticket before cashing it in ? Mitchell just proved again exactly what he is not.

Malinaggi-Broner. Getting on your bicycle is not the same as moving and throwing scoring punches. The commentary team need to get Adrian's balls out of their mouths before brushing his lower afro for him. It is fair to bring up Khan, Hatton and other earlier opponents handling of Paulie because, yes styles make fights but high output non punchers like Paulie do not age well. They fought a better Magic Man and Broner just had his shorts pulled down around his ankles. He may have won the fight but that was after getting repeatedly smacked in the face and failing to inflict anything but minimal damage on a fighter he should have stopped. At 147 and 140 there are a lot of People who will put him on his bejazzled arse. Paulie speaking to Floyd cracked me up and respect to him for going the distance and speaking his mind. The decision was OK but the scoring was a bit wide. Politics and B/S.

Excellent recap. I thought I'd add that Bika, in his last two fights, has lacked the spark of his earlier years. Has age caught up with him? Are you insinuating that Banks lost on purpose to get another Mitchell pay day? Broner isn't as good as we thought.

To the Broner haters yeah I suppose it is but its certainly not the fight I watched. As stated many times before, the beginning of the fight was predictable and the Miller and Feldman cards were ridiculous not the 117-111 card. Broner loses rounds because many of you guys hate him. Same thing happened to Floyd, Leonard and Robinson.

I think you are the one emotional in your own thoughts. The guys you mentioned threw more punches and pot shot their opponents to death and made it look easy. What I saw was poor effort and an attempt to show what we all knew going in: Malanaggi's punches are soft. Everytime Paulie hit him he reacted at how it had no effect on him. It would have been ok to do a few times but after every punch? The guys you mentioned above made their opponents miss and look silly. Broner just looked like a ass and judges bought that crap. I never knew there was scoring for PSI behind each punch. It was Malanaggi he fought like Floyd , Leonard and Robinson minus the power. It was Showtime marketing that won the fight for Broner. It was funny for Malanaggi to state the obvious then having to backtrack and kiss ass to his employers. It is what it is ... boxing is not a real 100% sport it is a staged business.
