Paulie Malignaggi-Danny Garcia --- Sat/BT/ESPN. Fact.
With hindsight Shawn Porter couldn't have been a worst matchup for Paulie. Without the strength or power to slow Porter down you've got no chance.
If you ignore that piece of form, and the fact that Paulie hasn't fought since then (14 months), then stylistically Garcia could be a good matchup for him. The pace Garcia fights at will give him time to think and move. Paulie was in good form - close fight with Broner/beat Zab - right before the Porter whooping. Garcia has been outboxed and looked a bit ropey lately.
Garcia is a rightful favourite, I wouldn't be surprised if he irons Paulie out, however Paulie is a 6/1 shot to win. 8/1 to win on PTS. (he's obviously not going to win by KO but you have to factor in cuts/injuries)
