As of yesterday (Thursday), both Paul Malignaggi, the WBA welterweight champion, and Adrien Broner, the WBC lightweight champion, had signed their contracts to face off, on June 22 at Barclays. When that fight was floated, the reaction of many pundits and fans' initial reaction was that Malignaggi, the 32-year-old Brooklyn-born hitter who now lives in LA, would have trouble with the speed-strength package of Broner. I asked Malignaggi (32-4) advisor Anthony Catanzaro why Team Malignaggi took the fight and why he likes Paulie to beat The Next Big Thing (26-0) in a Golden Boy fight on Showtime.
