I was impressed with Malignaggi's chin but honestly this was the complete and total outcome I expected. Malignaggi has the most overrated defense in boxing, it's a crime to call him a true 'slick' fighter, someone who can only make 1 punch miss at a time. Khan had a good jab/left hand but it was the right hand that hurt Malignaggi and that's what got it going for him. Malignaggi is super small for the weight and holds his hands way to low, he's just not ever going to trouble a guy who's quick and powerful like Khan.
I wouldn't rush Khan in there with Bradley, Marquez, Alexander or any other top 140 lber yet. Katsidis would be a good fight, hope it happens. I wonder if Katsidis can deal with a jab yet, would be interesting. He's DEFINITELY not one to be written off though he can definitely KO Khan, either way the fight is over before 8 rounds imo.
