This is going to be a very interesting fight
tonight. On the one hand, Diaz has the confidence
of his last 'victory' over Pauli. On the other,
Pauli is out to prove something.

I like Paulie to go the distance and take
a decision victory. He's not a KO artist, but
he knows how to box.

Two things were proven in this fight. First, Pauli really did win the
first fight. Second, Juan Diaz has no business fighting at that
weight.

Well, you pretty much got what you predicted.

Personally, I think Paulie won the first meeting with
Diaz...so this was a good redemption for him...even
though I'm not a fan of (Motor Mouth) Malignaggi.
He needs to quit all the lame showboating and just
fight.

Hell, man....he's a New Yawker. Seriously, in my opinion,
boxing needs real characters like that. Love 'em or hate 'em,
they put butts in seats.

I'm not talking just about his talking before or after fights,
I'm also talking about the lame showboating in the ring
when he should be fighting. Hell, he could have probably
knocked Diaz out if he didn't showboat in the ring for 25
seconds after hurting him with a good punch.

He is selling a self-made image to fill the seats. And it seems as if
he is doing well.

Win by a KO over Juan Diaz? I don't think so.

It seemed like half the crowd was booing Malignaggi in Chicago
to me.

>Win by a KO over Juan Diaz? I don't think so.

He staggered Diaz with a punch and Diaz was clearly hurting.
Malignaggi chose to showboat and mug for the cameras instead
of going in for the KO. I think the commentators were right...
Malignaggi so infrequently staggers an opponent, he didn't
know what to do when he did.

First, fan reactions, negative or positive, makes for great tensions
and thus increases the fans' dollar input. Professiona wrestlers enjoy
that equation to the max.

Second, Paul Malignaggi did bot KO Juan Diaz, showboat or no.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Take care,

No, he didn't KO Diaz...but he 'might' have if he had gone after
him when he hurt him...instead of dancing around and hamming
it up for the crowd/cameras with his showboating instead.

The results remain the same.

Enjoy the Season of Goodwill and a Time for Family.

Yes, and he publicly acknowledged his mistake
in an interview after the fight. I agree tho,
the face-making is ridiculous and disgusting,
not to mention a sign of immaturity.

Paulie has always been full of himself - even as an amateur.

Mr. Witty, CHILL! Melanie Ley has made great strides along with many
of her boxing officials and associates in the ranks of amateur boxing
programs. She sees more of the upcoming amateur gladiators than most
of us so-called knowledgeable fans.

Just a suggestion, Mr. Will.

Merry Christmas and a Yuletide Seasons.

Mr. Will, yes, I read you comment. Mel Ley knows lots of young amateur
boxers along with fact that she also many former amateurs who have
turned pro, both those who performed poorly as well as those who have
attained a degree of success. So when she post comments and can easily
give names, dates, characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, records,
personality description, etc., she is sharing information.

To this I say, "Mel, continue to fill in the RSB regulars about those
you know!"

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to you and the family.

teensy bit envious - are you? };->
