Juan Diaz - Paulie Malignaggi : Done Deal for 22nd August.

[Majesty]

I think that Juan Diaz could deal with the loss to Nate Camobell mentaly and came back and won. But im not sure how he will come back after getting knocked out by Marquez. Juan Diaz's style is a great one but it works when he has confidence in himself, but his confidence is breakable as Campbell showed. But Diaz on some night has shown an unbreakable will and in other nights his will seems weak.

On the flip side Malignaggi since signing with buddy mcgirt has gone on a downward spiral, has gotten hit more often, and lost matches and got tough ones out of ones he normally would dominate. Recently he has dumped buddy as his trainer saying that buddy was trying to teach him a style that wasn't him and wasn't getting him anywhere. But we have not seen any footage of Malignaggi to see how he is after the Hatton loss.


In this fight its a battle of questions, and a battle of two young fighters that cannot afford to lose.

if Malignaggi loses then thats pretty much it for his career even in his 20s his time at the top level will be done. If Juan Diaz loses then even in his 20s his career at the top level is over, but he has college to fall back on he doesnt NEED boxing in his life to be successful.

That's why I'm picking Malignaggi by Decision.

When it comes to who really needs this win more, Diaz already mentally has other things outside of boxing he can do and make money at and at his young age can capitalize on it. Malignaggi to my knowledge has no such outlet and would want this more. That said I'm only banking on the Malignaggi of old to show up, if the Buddy Mcgirt Malignaggi shows up Diaz is gonna win this one easily. My final prediction is Malignaggi by decision. But this is a crossroads fight of two up and coming stars that have been close to the top but lost when on the brink. This match will be great!
