As you know, Paulie Malignaggi will be facing Juan Diaz this Saturday night at the Toyota Center in 
Houston, TX. If I asked you who you think is going to win, you’re probably say Juan Diaz because he is showing to be favorite right? But what if I asked you why? Would you be able to answer that?
Growing up I loved the way Erik Morales fought and I didn’t care who he fought, he could have fought King Kong and I would have told you “El Terrible” will win. As I got older and started to understand the sport, I realized is not all about how I feel about the fighter but the facts. Take Paul Malignaggi for example, his chances of winning against Juan Diaz are slim to none because:
1. He has to weigh-in at 138.5-pounds, you know he is going to be dehydrated.
2. 18-foot ring will be used on Saturday night, which favors the pressure style of Juan Diaz.
3. He’s fighting Juan Diaz in Diaz’s hometown.
4. The referee is Laurence Cole who is from Texas.
5. The judges are Gale Van Hoy from Texas, Raul Caiz Sr., he’s from Mexico.
Personally I don’t like what Golden Boy Promotions are doing, they giving their fighter all the advantages and if Malignaggi didn’t agree to any of these terms, it was a take it or leave it type of situation.
So when you say Juan Diaz is going to win Saturday night you could now say why.
Caiz lives about a mile from me here in West Covina. He no Tex Mex…LOL
FYI Raul Caiz isn’t from Mexico….he’s an American from California…on the fight they had a typo and wrote he was from Texas…everyone knows he ‘s from California…and he at least had a reasonable 115-113…but that other judge with 118 -110 wasnt right At ALL!!
Paulie got robbed last night, one thing, niether of those guys can punch, it was the battle of the slappers.
lets see what he brings to the table Saturday night.
HEY EDGAR I APRECIATE YOU RESPONDING TO ME. BUT GOLDEN BOY IS NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT DO THESE THINGS. WHAT MAIGNAGGI SHOULD DO IS STAND AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN AGAINST DIAZ. HE MIGHT GET LUCKY AND GET A KNOCKOUT. OR SAY HE WILL NOT FIGHT WITH THOSE JUDGES. BUT TO SIT THERE AND COMPLAIN LIKE A WOMAN HOW EVERYTHING IS UNFAIR AND IF HE LOSES THAT WILL BE THE REASON WHY IS A JOKE. IF HE FIGHTS LIKE A FIGHTER INSTEAD OF A DANCER, WHICH IS THE WAY HE USUALLY FIGHTS, HE WILL DEFINITELY GET MORE RESPECT FROM EVERYBODY.
@Jaime Marquez your right his from Texas my fault.
I am not a fan of Malignaggi the whole point of the article was to show how evil Golden Boy can be and the advantages there giving there fighters.
We all know Malignaggi doesn’t have the power to knock Diaz out especially if his handicap. Malignaggi has his reasons why he took the fight and for that I respect him anyone else would have pulled out.
And I was agreeing with Edgar not the guy above.
I agree, that is not fair, but if we forget about that for a second, I would have said that because of Diaz pressure style, the way he fought Marquez last time, this is Diaz’s fight to win. We all know that styles make fights and I think that at the end It would be to much pressure for Malignaggi to handle, Malignaggi has no power in his punches so hurting Diaz is out of the question.
HEY EDGAR SINCE WHEN IS A WRITER A MOUTHPIECE FOR A CRYBABY. IF HE DIDNT LIKE THE FIGHT IN TEXAS WHY DID HE TAKE IT. ALSO I THOUGHT DIAZ WAS FROM TEXAS NOT MEXICO? I WILL TELL YOU WHY DIAZ WILL WIN AND ALL THAT OTHER BULL DOESNT MATTER. CAN YOU GUESS? HE IS GOING TO KNOCK HIM OUT! YOU ARE NOT A VERY GOOD WRITER BUT I WOULD STILL TELL YOU TO STICK TO WRITING INSTEAD OF CRYING. HA HA.
