Khan-Malinaggi confirmed for May 15th

[TheMacMagician]

I'll take Khan. It'll be an interesting boxing match to watch, but there isn't a chance that Malignaggi KO's Khan. A perfect opponent for Khan to fight for his American debut. Someone he'll look good outboxing but won't be in danger of getting KO'd

If Willie Limond can have Khan wobbled, so can Paulie Malignaggi, end of. This is a very good match-up for me. Close decision either way man.

[HattonTheHammer]

dont know why exactly but i just have this feeling that malignaggi will take him

Khan essentially fights front footed fighters and he definitely has never met anyone with malignaggi`s hand speed. He may just become frustrated eventually and smother his own work and malignaggi may just pick and run at will

malignaggi on a decision

[Master]

Easy win for Khan, what has Paulie got to offer.

[Pugilistic]

Paulie is a good test for Khan, regardless of his lack of power.

Khan should take it though, via UD.

[Hornfinger]

I think Khan will win but I'd love paulie to do a number on him....

[Majesty]

Easy win for Khan, what has Paulie got to offer.

Speed, a jab, nonflatfootedness, defense and counter punching.

Amir Khan has looked like Juan Diaz with a little more power lately, against a flatfooted guy he can plant his feet and throw his combinations wonderfully. Malignaggi isnt flatfooted and isn't gonna give Khan a chance to get off so Khan is gonna have to move in this fight and I don't think he'll like that

[porkypara]

On paper Khan's hardest fight.


Malinaggi has had lots of tough hard fights and matches Khan in most areas apart from punch power.


I would give Khan a slight edge but only just.

I was thinking the same thing...Malignaggi regardless of how people feel about him personally have to give him his boxing credit...A puncher no but boxer for sure.....

If the parting with Buddy has done the good it seems it may be a bad night for Kahn......The Paulie that fought Cotto etc can handle anything kahn has to offer

[skel1983]

I think Khan will easily win this fight.

[Gandalf]

I am hoping for comedy gold...a Paulie Malignaggi win by knockout, but I will settle for a Malignaggi decision though as that is more realistic. Malignaggi needs to make sure he keeps the momentum moving and not fall into any of those lazy habits like against Hatton. All things going well Khan should have his hands full.

[generalbulldog]

I think Khan will easily win this fight.

Same here. I have con boy winning it 8-4 or possibly 9-3. Yes Paulie has skills, but his lack of punch power puts him in a category of a mid level contender or borderline gate keeper.

[markb018]

I am really pulling for Paulie in this one. For the reasons others have mentioned I agree and think he can pull this off. He has really grown on me and am a huge fan. Plus I just hate Amir Khan.
