Sergio Mora back on ESPN...in a title fight

Garcia is a joke. Lemme guess..this is the one where he'll actually MOVE UP to full welter

Joke fighters don't beat Amir Khan, Erik Morales, Zab Judah, Lamont Peterson, Lucas Matthyeshe.

He's 30-0. You can say he got lucky in few fight with the decision, but the Peterson was still a very close fight either way as was the Herra fight.

I didn't see 1 person on this forum who thought he won that fight. Herrera beat him but didn't get the nod.

The thing is that Paulie doesn't knock people out, but that is the only possible way he can win this fight as the judges are likely getting paid to give Garcia at least 7 rounds regardless.

The mileage that Malignaggi accumulated over his fights didn't quite show against Judah because he was facing another old lion that was slowing. The Broner performance was probably Paulie's last hurrah. Porter went buzzsaw on Malignaggi and showed his legs couldn't get him out of the way and his punch couldn't even make porter's nose itch.

Without his legs, Malignaggi has nothing to keep Garcia off of him because he is ridiculously outgunned. So for Garcia, even though Malignaggi will be billed as a sage and a wily veteran, this is like a updated version of Salka. Garcia will throw less punches than porter but Paulie's not big by any means... and once Paulie's legs give out, he's a sitting duck and as Porter showed, Garcia doesn't have to be accurate or even flawlessly technical to rip into him.

I know everyone sees garcia as lazy and confused in his past couple of wins so its his fight to lose... but the way this fight was set up, he's always just a blitz away from the beginning of the end. Though it will be interesting to see Malignaggi lose a close decision and see if his mouth goes loose cannon against Haymon, the hand that feeds him.
