Like him or not Malinaggi fought like a champion Saturday night...

He was fast, threw combos, had a good offense and defense, high workrate, took all the shots that did land and sucked them up.....After the fight he was a gentleman towards his opponent, he took the boos of the Texas crowd and gave back respect that was not deserved by stating he liked Texas and thought they were a great bunch of fans......

Paulie got a raw deal last night but even in the end he came out the more marketable guy in the bout...He also proved he was not finished yet at the world class level.....

He earned my respect while Texas Boxing and Golden Boy lost most of it
