yawn. He doesn't throw the right hand anyway, why would that keep him from jabbing? Assuming he did hurt it (which he probably did) and it wasn't just an excuse for a shitty performance.

He won the late rounds by using that smothering defensive move that he used against Camerena. A way to not get hit with anything big, not faulting him using that, it was ugly but it got him the win. The fault lies in N'dou not doing anything about that, he could have at least tried to keep Malignaggi from smothering him instead of just doing nothing and then complaining about getting robbed when he didn't.

I'm not a fan but I'll give him a lot of credit when he deserves it, I did after the Cotto fight. Don't see anything that great about his performance Saturday.
