Brooklyn-bred Paul Malignaggi promised he would take Adrien Broner into deep waters, and test him during the buildup to his Saturday night clash and in a faceoff between pound for pound top ten trash-talkers. That he did; but the WBA welter champ Malignaggi has to be content with a moral victory, because the judges at Barclays Center gave Broner a split decision win. Malignaggi boxed super smart, and out-threw the Cinci boxer, 843 to 524. But Broner had a power edge, 418-376, and Broner's right hand, and left hook, which snapped Paulie's head back and sprayed his sweat into the lights, delighted two of three judges.
