Malignaggi is ready for his greatest challenge
Paulie Primed to Pull Major Upset in Barclays Bout Against Unbeaten Garcia
Paulie Malignaggi is no stranger to the role of underdog.
The 34-year-old Bensonhurst native has defied the odds on numerous occasions during his 14 years in the squared circle, and he’s doubtlessly hoping to pull off one more major upset on his way out of the sport.
“I plan on being the best me possible,” Malignaggi said earlier this week in advance of Saturday night’s headline bout with unbeaten Danny Garcia at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
“I plan on being the sharpest me possible,” he added. “And right now, in training, I feel really good. The plan is to flow this training camp into a sharp night on August 1st.”
