Brooklyn Sports Roundup: ‘Magic Man’ bumped, Neal brings home bronze, Race beaten in London
Bensonhurst born-and-bred boxer Paulie Malignaggi’s shot at headlining the first-ever pro boxing card at Downtown Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Oct. 20 is reportedly gone.
But the reigning WBA welterweight champ isn’t exactly up in arms over the snub.
Malignaggi, who who was rumored to be in negotiations to take on fellow Brooklynite Dmitriy Salita in the main event, will instead meet 22-year-old Pablo Cesar Cano on the undercard that night.
