A guy like Paul Malignaggi is well versed in how to sell a fight, how to stir the pot with trash talk to keep people talking about a forthcoming scrap. He will admit to you that a certain amount of the bluster is purely calculated, that often when he's verbally sparring with a foe prior to fight night, he's fully aware that he's playing a role as a hype artist. But going into his Saturday clash at Barclays Center with Adrien Broner, I do get the sense that the trash talking did veer over the line, from manufactured drama, to a zone where it became a bit too real.
