Paulie-Adrien “Verbal Sparring”
PAULIE MALIGNAGGI-ADRIEN BRONER GO SATURDAY
San Francisco, CA– If you are looking for a young man to embrace as a role model, Adrien Broner would probably not be your choice. With a “jacket” that includes crimes against persons, the latest his biting someone in a Miami, FL nightclub, Adrien has had his share of brushes with the law. If on the other hand you were looking an incredible boxing talent, Broner would be your pick!
PAULIE FACING LAST STAND?
Now take WBA 147 lb. champion Paulie Malignaggi with whom Broner will challenge this Saturday on Showtime. The Paisano fighting out of Brooklyn, NY, outside of the hair additions, is the kind of guy your mother might approve of. On the boxing side, a US amateur champion, Paulie’S drawback as a boxer are his often broken hands.
IS FIGHT BRONER’S TO LOSE?
As Saturday nears, the fight on paper can summed up in a neat and concise manner. Paulie will need to box a better fight than he is probably capable of. Broner, considered the better and well schooled boxer, should he utilize his assets, he wins and enters the “Floyd Mayweather Sweepstakes.”
BREAKDOWN BEGINS WITH SPEED
While Malignaggi maybe faster than 99% of the welterweight division, the 1% he cannot out speed Broner.
POWER
With the fighting at home Paulie having but 7 KOs on a 32-4 resume, and Broner being 26-0 with 22 early endings, power edge goes to Cincinnati.
BOXING ABILITY
Again, Paulie is a better boxer than most, but comes in second to the 23-year old Broner.

“THE PROBLEM” IS TOO MUCH FOR PAULIE?
If you look at this fight outside of the perspective of Paulie and his people, Broner looks like a prohibitive betting choice. Prediction forthcoming Friday here at RingTalk.com
