Not many people know about malinga..
But he was really quite a good fighter..Horrible to watch..But very very!! good defensively!!..
Benn had beaten malinga by points the fight before roy beat him..
I can tell you this..Malinga was awkward.. hard to land meaningful punches on.. and had a solid chin..
The dark destoyer had to settle for a ud..
Even chris eubank only beat him on a split decision..
Then when roy fought him..Horrible to watch for about five rounds.. Roy easily out pointing him..
But malinga was giving no leway for big shots.. Then he was knocked silly with one punch in the 6th..
Thats how good roy was.. He had never been stopped..Evidently been in with some big punchers and could take a punch..If you could land it on him..
And roy was just that fast and tricky to spark such an awkward fighter..
Peace
