Paulie Malignaggi Robbery By Golden Boy
Nice to see a fighter being real about the sport he has dedicated his life to. Calling it out when there is blatant underhandedness taking place. It’s an issue which has plagued the sport for many years. Forcing an exodus of fans to search for greener pastures in other realms of combat sports.
This is Paulie Malignaggi’s post-fight interview after he fought Juan Diaz in Houston Texas. For the vacant WBO NABO Super Lightweight Title. It was a fight that the pundits had him winning by two, including boxing aficionado Max Kellerman.
Paulie Malignaggi calls out the State of Texas, saying that it never gives fighters coming to compete for a fair shake. It’s something we have seen time and time again. And many of those times were in career-defining fights, at the world and even Olympic level.

“Boxing is full of shit, I used to love this Sport man.”
What will we see in the upcoming Mayweather vs McGregor fight if it should be in any way a close result? Will the boxing judges favour the incoming MMA fighter in the home of boxing, Las Vegas Nevada?

So it’s something which was at the forefront of their minds. Now on August 26th, we find out if they had any reason to worry in the first place.
