I was reading an article from Ring Magazine where Malignaggi feels like he's being set up to lose this fight because of all the concessions he's having to make. Which fighter do you think will take this?

DOESN'T MATTER NOW. BECAUSE THE JUDGES ARE A FRAUD. HBO SHOULD HAVE MORE CREDIBILITY. HBO IS LIKE BIG BROTHER, YOU SHOULD HELP BOXING AND TRY TO ORGANIZE IT.

I don't know how Malignaggi ever got this far in boxing...he seriously must be connected. Beyond that, for a guy to fight after having metal put in his head- idiotic.

In a boxing match things happen guys & it's as simple as that. I feel bad for some of the fighters that are victims to this shit when it happens but you know what I'll be honest about a few fights that I probably would've scored wrong and damn what yall think-it's what I think.
To this day I don't know what all the fuss was about the Chavez vs Whitaker fight. Whitaker played as usaul and got what he deserved-he was tryn 2 win a fight off defense and doing lil cute shit like squating down 2 the canvas like that shit matters.
I saw Chavez bringing the fight all night long-he was missn the head alot so he banged the shit out of the body-I guess Whitaker could've got a split-but I saw an even fight. To this day-I haven't found anyone 2 agree with me about this fight.
Tito vs Oscar-fight night I would've gave it to Oscar-it actually took me 2 times to see Oscar wasn't doing shit but shoe shinning all night-bottom line is after the 2nd time watching I think Tito won or it should've been a draw-now I'm real with mine so it is what it is.

I had the fight 7-5 for Paulie. I dislike runners but in my opinion if your circling around your opponent jabbing him to death then that is not running. True Diaz was the aggressor but he was not throwing enough, he kept being thrown out of his rhythm(forgot how to spell this word) by that jab and counters. 1212 you got the fight all wrong. How did Diaz get cut? by a soft jab. One by accidental headbutt, the other by a soft yet fast jab. I saw Paulie dictating the fight, Diaz was everywhere trying to throw wild punches, though Paulie's were more accurate.
I don't blame Paulie for being this upset, he should be and more. I don't get how as fans we should just take this atrocity and let these assholes get away with this? I'm talking about DLH and company. There should be an investigation into these corrupt people involved starting with all the commissions, the promoters, and all broadcasting channels(HBO). It is getting ridiculous, careers are being ended, money and fans are being lost , and other entities are winning.
Max Kellerman needs to fix that grotesque cut on his mouth. It looks horrible and that matches his commentating. That part about the marketplace choosing Diaz to win is bullshit. DLH chose Diaz to win, just like HBO and others chose DLH to win over Felix Sturhm, they all could make more money with DLH and Hopkins fight. In that case we should just make a video game or fantasy matches of boxing.Kellerman needs to be sent back to ESPN.
I lost respect for Diaz when he was declared the winner, there you could clearly see that he is a fake and clearly on his way to being another DLH. Now you know why he chose to go to school to become a liar, I mean a lawyer. He'll get Ko'd again by Marquez.
I know I'm writing alot but Like Paulie I am getting fed up of seeing injustices in the ring, while the crooks get richer, etc...
This is a perfect opportunity for other broadcasting companies (Showtime)and other entities to jump in and promote and make their own boxing company. Dana White, Mark Cuban, are you listening? Don't think too highly of them, but I'm trying to make a point. Sorry, MMA will never be as big as boxing.
In conclusion, Paulie got robbed, Diaz became DLH, and on his way to a bigger payday. I'll continue to watch boxing and voice my opinion, whether l agree or disagree. Peace be with you all.

No disrespect to MMA it is great veiwing. Anderson Silva is a true great in his sport, and I would not classify his talent as "off the street". But.. in no other sport can or do you have guys from a reality show becoming World Champs that headline. The heavywieght Champ is from the WWE!! Why would he go MMA when Boxing pays so much more. Boxing is a skill, as much as throwing a spiral or having a great jumpshot. Ohhh yeah I know why Brock went to MMA becasue he would get robbed by some scumbag promoter and his hand picked judges in boxing. GO MMA!!! Also Max was the biggest asshole in his coments the entire 3 fights. Please report what you see and stop making cases for you fav fighter.

I agree with the multitudes of people saying he got robbed, however, this has been the standard for so long, I would have been more surprised if he didn?t get robbed. This is why only the die hard fans are still sticking with boxing. Oh yea, I like Max Kellerman defending the decision by making excuses by implying it?s just part of the sport, ?REAL CLASSY Max, way to speak up" (lol). On the other hand, the announcers are at the boxing match to get a pay day also, it?s not like they can say what they really think anyway. Unfortunately it seems everything is a rip-off nowadays, boxing is no exception.

box1212 I don't know what fight you were watching but it sure as hell wasn't malingnaggi vs diaz . I know PM is not a great crowd pleaser but he still don't deserve that kind of score card. besides ,diaz has to many flaws in his game and it's only a matter of time before he's exposed again. If PM would have been any kind of puncher , diaz would have been finished that night. both fighters suck It's just diaz sucked more that night.

Close fight, i had Paulie winning 115-113 but i blame paulie for not going for the kill especially wit diaz being cutt... paulie should have try and get the fight stopped wit that badly cut eye.... i wouldnt say he was jerked, but 118-110 was horrible. close fight could have gone either way.

HBO Max Kellerman favors P.Malignaggi look at the tape he always comments on Paulie, but does not talk about Juan Diaz punches or his actions through out this fight.

It was not a robbery, Kermit Cintron getting a draw from Martinez that is a robbery against Martinez who clearly one the fight.
Paulie is crying to loudly and his supporters are as well and are pretending to be non bias.

PAULIE DID NOT GET ROBBED!
Paulie lost because he jabbed and ran all night. His jab was blocked for the most part through out the fight look at the tape closely. The rounds paulie won (probabbly four or five rounds), he won with effective agrression by moving landing the jab with right hands in combinations that landed, period. Just because Paulie snapped a jab that missed and move around the ring avoiding aggression or his occassional three four punch combos that landed on Diaz's gloves does not mean he won the round.
Now take a look at Diaz he was the agressor one, he landed more power shots which were more accurate and did more damage, Paulie jabbed (missed or mostly blocked) and moved. Look at Diaz's body shots on Paulie. Look at the fact when Juan landed Paulie's head went back. There were very few times during the course of the fight that Paulie did the same.
Furthermore, it seems to Max Kellerman from HBO favored Paulie through out the broadcast and he hardly mentioned what Juan was doing in the fight. I have been around boxing for years, I don't fall from the bias presentation of the fight from the announcers, I see what fighter is really landing the more effective punches, who is pressing the fight, what shot were blocked, who had effective agression.
I am sorry Paulie was not robbed, the fight was close but I had Juan winning 8 out of the 12 rounds. However I could see the fight 7 /5 for Diaz too. I think Paulie needs to fight on espn or showtime not HBO. No one likes a runner that does nothing ie Corey Spinks, please.

ALSO:
Malignaggi was completely within his right to react the way he did. What's worse, I can't believe that Lennox Lewis stood there and said in so many words that he was wrong to react that way!! Sure, Lennox, you would have just said the best man won and went about your business, right?
It turns out that Malignaggi was the only person I actually respected after that entire situation. A corrupt group of judges just jerked him out of his boxing career, for all intent and purpose, and for anyone to expect him to be a good sport about it was a complete idiot. He trained months for a fight that ended up being the same output had he not trained AT ALL. 118-110. You'd think the guy didn't show up at all if all you saw was the scores.
Malignaggi didn't deserve that. Neither did the few remaining boxing fans who tuned in to watch it.

If professional boxing stays this course soon boxing will have the same credibility of professional wrestling; at least they claim only to be entertainment. The judges should be censured.
