Juan Diaz had EVERYTHING his way. Paulie Malignaggi was in there to make Juan Diaz look good. Diaz had everything to his advantage. Paulie was a light puncher so he didn't have to worry about being hurt, They forced Paulie to drop down in weight, They got the ring size they wanted, They got their biased judges, And they had hometown advatage in Houston. Paulie STILL gave Diaz a boxing lesson. Diaz will not be able to beat any of the top 140lbers. I have nothing agaisnt Diaz I like him as a fighter. It's not his fault that they robbed Paulie.. He trained and he goes to fight thats his job. It's the promoters (Golden Girl), the judges and the Commisions that ruin the sport of boxing that I love. Everyone wonders why the UFC is so popular and why boxing is on a downward spiral. This is one of the major reasons. And let me not even get into the corrupt santioning bodies especially with that BS Diamond belt ****. But yeah Diaz is DONE..

There arent a lot of boxers out there who can box better than Paulie did last night. Juan Diaz needs to stay at 135 tho he doesnt have the power for 140. -
Diaz isnt done. Just a couple of months ago he was giving #3 P4P fighter the fight of his life. Yeah Diaz had the odds in his favor and maybe won a gift decision, but this is the first time in Diaz career something like this has happened. Also Paulie is a bad style match up for diaz and the way he fought last night is top 3 JWW.Comment

Kills me how people thought Paulie was gonna be this easy opponent. I said it from the beginning, Paulie had the footwork/ footspeed/ hand speed to land his 1-2 and move and he did just that. Everyone kept talking about how Juan "Feather Fisted" Diaz was gonna stop him, neither of them would be able to hurt eachother, this was gonna go the distance, unlike Marquez, Paulie is quick on his feet and knows how to move.
This couldn't have possibly been an opponent for Juan to look good, Juan looks good against come foward opponents, Paulie is anything but that. They might have taken this fight due to Paulie's lack of power and they made a big mistake in doing that.Comment

Their big mistake made for a really good fight tho. Paulie showed up way better than he has lately tho, and I myself was pleasantly surprised.Originally posted by THE PLATANO MAN View PostComment

he looked good vs marquez until he got ktfo. he looked bad against a featherfisted paulie. as far as big fights go, he's done. marquez ruined him.Comment

I agree with most of what you said OP, although I don't think Diaz is done. I think this fight has more to do with contrasting styles and it speaks to how underrated Malignaggi truly is.
If anything, this fight solidifies how overrated Buddy Mcgirt is as a trainer, LOL. Paulie should have abandoned him a long time ago.
Malignaggi should get with Floyd Sr. IMO. Paulie has it all, minus punching power. He's fast with great boxing skills. All around, he's an excellent athlete.Comment

Marquez didn't ruin him, Malignaggi just didn't stay on the ropes and let him use his workrate.Originally posted by elmalo29 View PostComment

I'm not saying Paulie isnt a good boxer hes definetly a good boxer, I was talking about how Diaz team THOUGHT that it would be an easy fight because Paulie doesnt have power and im sure they seen Hatton vs Malignaggi and figured Diaz would just walk through his punches and eventually wear him down especially being that they forced him to drop in weight.. Paulie is a great boxer and has great skills. If he had some power in those fists he'd be elite and that's real.Comment
