KHAN TOO BIG FOR PAULIE ON HBO
New York, NY– Amir Khan, 139.5 lbs, Lancashire, UK TKO 11 Paulie Malignaggi, 139, Brooklyn, NY. (WBA 140 lb. title) Khan (23-1, 17 KOs) in his first fight in the United States matched speed with Malignaggi (27-4, 5 KOs) in a dominating performance. The Brit displayed surprisingly superior boxing skills to eventually stop a game but woefully behind Malignaggi at 1:25 of round 11.
SHELLY FINKEL CHARGE PERFORMS WELL
Victor Ortiz, 140, Oxnard, CA UD 10 Nate Campbell, 139, Jacksonville, FL. Ortiz, managed by Shelly Finkel, now (27-2-1, 21 KOs) had his way with a suddenly shopworn (38 years old) Campbell (33-6-1, 25 KOs). A questionable knockdown of Campbell at the end of the first round didn’t help. The scorecards read 100-89 twice and 99-90.
