HBO Saturday night Diaz - Malignaggi: I'm not watching

I have no intention of watching Juan Diaz vs. Paulie Malignaggi Saturday night. I don't want to dignify its worth or existence. Diaz won the first fight. So it's over.

This is just a money grab for Malignaggi and he has succeeded. He stirred up all the nonsense back home in Brooklyn and got the locals all riled that they, well, they put the rematch in Chicago. Where are all his drive-by homies?

I thought Paulie was a ticket seller in New York? It seems he can't even get arrested there in getting publicity.

He has since taken to badmouthing our Manny Pacquiao. Says Manny is taking illegal
steroids. What a sleazeball Malignaggi is. He's a rebel without a clue.

Like the first fight, HBO now needs a place to dump another non title, unimportant fight and I'm sure they are already regretting this fight. Why does the public have to be subjected to this fight? What did we do? And they pile on Victor Ortiz in a second fight!

As pundit Beeno Cook asked in 1981 of Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn's public gesture of giving each of the released American hostages in Iran a lifetime pass to Major League Baseball, "Haven't they suffered enough?"

These two fights has actually caused a young, vibrant and popular fighter like Juan Diaz to waste about eight months of his career while he should be matched with contenders and not pretenders.

Where are the sanctioning groups with a real title fight when you need them HBO?

It doesn't help matters when pandering media don't realize if a fight is a major title
fight the sanctioning group(s) get two of the four officials.

Why not put some prospects (except Victor Ortiz or Roberto Guerrero) in the ring to earn some much needed Christmas money?

No matter what, post fight, you know this ungrateful Malignaggi will badmouth any fighter or judge/referee that isn't kissing his ass and make us wish for the good old days of Cristobal Arreola firing his aimless F-Bombs. Like last weekend!

I hope this loss (and I hope it's a whipping) is the end of Malignaggi's "TV Fights" part of his free-falling career.

Yea, I'll probably watch if nobody is around with my Texas friends Dickie Cole and Gale Van Hoy.

    Hey Matt. Big fan of your articles but I'll disagree with you on this one. I like Diaz, HATE Malignaggi but I'm objective. Malignaggi beat Diaz in their last fight! You say, "Why does the public have to be subjected to this fight? What did we do?" Because Diaz, from Houston, could do no wrong in the eyes of his hometown fans and - as it turned out - in the eyes of the three judges. Raul Caiz scored it 115-113, David Sutherland 116-112 and Gale Van Hoy a RIDICULOUS 118-110 - all for Diaz. I'm sure you remember these scores (especially the last one) very vividly. Plain and simple Texas (again) f@cked up the scoring and taints boxing! It seems like the words "neutral" and "objectivity" are not in the Texas vocabulary. EVEN YOU are very partial about this whole thing. Is being objective so hard to do when you're scoring a boxing match? This ruins the image of Texas when it comes to boxing. THAT IS WHY THE PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER FIGHT WILL NOT HAPPEN IN TX! VIVA LAS VEGAS! Let's Be Objective!

    Amen to that Matt! Even though I thought Paulie was one of those hardluck guys who can't get a got decision. I'm now convinced that his irrelevance is bourne out of his lack of intellect and class. Classy boxers know when they see great fighter. While consistent losers can only badmouth greatness that they could not achieve for themselves.

    Who cares if you're not going to watch it!? Its obvious you are a huge Juan Diaz fan. I am a huge Manny fan since he came here to the states, and I hate Paulie Malinaggi with a passion (I even bought the PPV between Paulie and Cotto, just because I wanted to see the crap beat out of him. But, I am a boxing fan first. Malinaggi won that fight. Diaz got the crap beat out of him with Paulie's pillow hands. He got cut up and bruised up. I like Diaz, but I know he is only an average fighter with pillow hands too. I could care less about Paulie talking trash about the Pacman, because I know what he is trying to do is campaign for a fight, which he won't get. Believe me, I hate Malinaggi, but just because I hate him doesn't mean I believe he lost that fight. You and the judges need to stop favoring fighters just because they are from your state. This is why I hope Manny and Mayweather don't fight in Dallas, because who knows who the judges will favor.

    to be fair, paulie should retire if he gets defeated in this fight. as a boxing fan i will give him that chance before i consider him an abomanation to boxing and will rebuke all his fight after that. can paulie still pull the triger? that remains to be known saturday. babybull is not an easy opponent so paulie is in for another beating.

    people doesnt care their accusation. this SED slanderous accusation of floyd is the product of his envy with manny. he's over protective to his son that is why floyd doesn't grow as a man. Manny went to america and became famous without his father and up until now rosalio (manny's father) refuses to at least take a limelight out of his son. he accused manny of SED and how manny people listened to him? you count. 1, junior, 2, malignaggi, 3. cintron, 4, #floydfan, 5. el fuego, 6. no more... Why? because most people are not stupid enough to listen to mayweathers because represent UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in the VERY, VERY WRONG WAY with a heavy heart full of ENVY. floyd snr kept on saying manny is one dimesional fighter, he cannot win against ODLH, HATTON and COTTO. he went on to the point of writing a poem yet nothing happen. he did not win against manny and freddie so out of desperation he did accuse manny. SENIOR FLOYD only STUPIDs will listen to you.

    Paulie, when you get defeated by Diaz, you will become a malignant loser. Your loss starts from your mouth. But let's assume you win the fight, still you become like FMJ, a garbage boxer.

    Diaz will bitch-slap Malignaggi's ass! Paulie should have quit while he was ahead, at least with a claim that he was cheated out of their last fight. This time, he will get what he deserves and Diaz will beat him bad. Paulie should have retired a long time ago when Cotto and Hatton beat the crap out of him. Yet he fights on giving us boring fights and lots of thrash talk with nothing but air behind them. I mean, he's got the nerve to bad-mouth the Pacman (I remember sometime in the past he even boasted that he will whip Pacman's ass if they fought Ha! Ha! Ha! What a joke!)when he is just a C-Level, trying hard, lousy fighter. Whatever you and Floyd, Sr. are smoking together, Paulie stop before it kills you!
