Malignaggi doesn't have Buddy as his trainer anymore so that's a step in the right direction and now he is with a trainer that suits his style a lot more, I wouldn't judge the Malignaggi that fought Hatton as the one that's gonna fight Diaz. As progressively worse he got the longer Buddy was his trainer, it's like the first fight they had before he really taught him anything he beat Ndou easily, and then since he looked terrible even barely beating Ndou in the rematch, I'm glad he got rid of Buddy. I think he'll do better against Diaz then people think he will. He doesn't need power to beat Diaz, he needs to stick and move and outspeed him and use that jab, I haven't seen how he looks under his new trainer but I can only hope he looks the way he looked prior to getting with Buddy. If he does I'm going with Malignaggi by UD. But if it's the same guy we saw against Hatton it will end similarly but Paulie won't get stopped.
