Paulie M. vs. Amir K. Who will win and why?

I'm interested in what the board thinks.

i think paulie can out box him but if it turns into a slugfest i give khan the win of course w/ khans suspect chin pillow punchin paulie maybe able to put him down w/ something of a decent shot

Yeah I think Paulie out boxes him also. In a close fight though cause I think Khan can win some of the early rounds with his power and speed but the Boxing of Paulie wins him a close UD in the end.

I think Amir Khan's speed and power will wear Paulie Malignaggi down for a late stoppage, but I expect Paulie to be game and give Amir a decent fight.

I'll say Amir comes out real strong but can't drop Paulie early. Paulie realizes how strong Amir is and fights on the defensive, and Amir slows down and presses to take a challenging, but clear UD.

My skeptical mind tells me Paulie will do enough to win but lose the decision.

Khan will have a hard time getting in rhythm the whole fight.

Paulie should win a close decision. This is actually a big step up for Khan and I think he's going to do well but Paulie's experience and speed will carry the fight for him. Khan won't be able to bully Paulie. For all his faggotry, Paulie is a tough kid.

EDIT: I understand that Khan is really fast too, but I feel Paulie will do much better adjusting to Khan's speed than Khan will adjust to Paulie's speed.

Khan will KO him late.

Paulie is definitely alot tougher than he looks, he went the distance with Cotto and that was with a broken orbital bone,plus he only managed to get dropped once.

Ricky clipped him hard in their fight too, but Paulie showed heart to recover.

Malignaggi by decision

I sure shit the bed with this fight's pick.

**kicks self**

i'm right there w/ ya i thought paulie could outbox him but i was wrong
