Danny Garcia vs Paulie Malignaggi Odds have Malignaggi +650 Moneyline (Bet $100 to win $650) at BOVADA SPORTSBOOK
Paulie Malignaggi – Boxer: The 5’8″ Italian is a stylist that effectively controls distance with a pesky left jab thrown off the hip. Plagued by hand trouble throughout his career, “The Magic Man” relies on excellent timing and handspeed rather than power. An above-average athlete, Malignaggi has quick feet and is built to run all night. Malignaggi has proven to be durable throughout his career but at 34-year old Porter’s punches seemed to affect him more than in years past. Malignaggi is slick defensively but he cuts, bruises and swells easier than most. With only one good hand it is difficult for the light-hitting Malignaggi to keep off physically imposing fighters. Danny Garcia vs Paulie Malignaggi Odds give Malignaggi a 10% chance of winning

Danny Garcia – Boxer: The 5’8″ Garcia, 27, is a textbook boxer/puncher with good physical strength and a heavy left hook. The proud Puerto Rican punches with conviction in both hands and is a damaging bodypuncher. Garcia’s biggest strengths lie in his boxing intangibles: technique, determination, intelligence and will to win. When in boxer mode, “Swift” can box on his toes with a crisp jab and good mobility. The Philly fighter has shown an excellent chin throughout his career and displays sound defensive skill. Garcia is solid all-around but does not possess any one superlative talent and has been fortunate to remain unbeaten.
