Paulie says he’s got plenty of “Magic” left: Brooklyn’s Malignaggi ready for Barclays Fight Night
Paulie Malignaggi dares you to doubt him again.
The 31-year-old Bensonhurst native, just hours away from his much-anticipated defense of the WBC Welterweight World Championship at Downtown’s Barclays Center on Saturday night, has certainly been counted out before, if not in the ring, than certainly along the periphery of the squared circle.
It was two and a half years ago that Malignaggi suffered perhaps his most devastating loss, an 11th-round stoppage at Madison Square Garden against Britain’s Amir Khan.
