Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

[Pappy Knuckles]

How do you see this one playing out tonight? I'll be recording it and watching it after the UFC ppv. After all the drama of the first fight I'm really interested to see how both guys look in the rematch.

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

Pulling for Paulie to win this one, because he got robbed in the first. Wondering where I can watch this one online...

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

I have it even through 2 rounds.

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

I know he isn't a power house but Paulie is one of the best pure boxers I have seen in a long time.

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

Really hard fight to score. Diaz is pushing the action here in the middle rounds and it looks like he is landing often but he isn't. Paulie is playing way too much.

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

That was NOT a knock down.

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

I have it 115-114 for Paulie. Let's see what happens. Last round goes to Diaz.

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

They got it right this time. Paulie was tripping me out with his theatrics but he's gotta tone that down in his fights and focus on the opponent sometimes. I couldn't help but laugh at how he mugged when he caugth Diaz nice, and how he was trying to tell the judges that he blocked the bunch in the 11th round I think. Love his style, he made sure that he wasn't gonna get screwed on the cards.

Kevin Johnson time...

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

Kevin Johnson put in one of the worst Heavyweight Title performances in my life.

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

Kevin Johnson is wack as hell. That fight was some trash all around.

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

Malignaggi got the W that he deserved. I had the rounds scored the same as the judges. Diaz (obviously) changed it up a bit this time around but still got outboxed. Don't really see a point in a rubber match as I have this series scored 2-0. Paulie was calling out JMM amongst others, I'd personally like to see him fight Khan.

Not sure what's left for Diaz in the sport. He has sputtered badly, and even exposed a bit of a glass jaw after getting rocked by Paulie's fragile hands at least 2x by my count (excluding that phantom knockdown).

Paulie does NOT have power, thats obvious. But what he does have is an amazing skill set and technique. An up-jab is used by fighters that do not have power, it catches your opponent off guard and its a very irritating punch if you get hit by it, almost rattles the jaw. If he toned down the antics, he can probably get more margin in his wins.

Juan is still young, now lets see if he wants to be a great fighter, he is solid. Has a tremendous left hook, and good right too, but stands way to square and for a little guy...he plods around the ring. Pac got better in the last 5 years at an older age than Diaz is now. He can improve, the question now is...........does he want to.

Re: Diaz vs. Malignaggi II

Paulie looks like he belongs on Jersey Shore:





Dude is a great boxer, though.
