Judah and Malignaggi bringing it home
Borough natives prepare to square off in 'Battle for Brooklyn'
Normally, collecting a world championship belt is the prime motivation when a boxer enters the ring for a major bout.
Come Dec. 7 at Downtown’s Barclays Center, Paulie “The Magic Man” Malignaggi and Zab “Super” Judah both readily admit that they will be fighting for the biggest title of their professional careers, even if it doesn’t come with a world championship belt.
“It’s a really emotional fight,” admitted Malignaggi, a two-time world champion out of Bensonhurst.
