With the highly anticipated fight, which happens to be close to two weeks away, Paulie Malingaggi’s confidence is strong.
The Premier Boxing Champions on Spike TV is taking place on May 29 at the Barclays Center. Now there’s something to look forward to. Today was the media workout and the boxers shared some intriguing quotes. Paulie Malingaggi, whose record is 33-6, 7 KOs, is set to fight Danny O’Connor.
Gleason’s Gym hosted the media workout today and it was a perfect fit since Malingaggi is a Brooklyn native. What does he have to say in regards to O’Connor’s boxing style? It’s clear that Malingaggi is observant.
“I know Danny O’Connor pretty well. He’s a good boxer who had a good amateur career. He can be pretty slick and he’s a real intelligent guy. He’s not going to just hand it to you so you have to use your mind against him. O’Connor is going to come hungry. With the situation he’s in, he’s really been looking for this opportunity in his career. I expect the hungriest and best possible Danny O’Connor.
In this instance, you can tell that he has studied his opponent and knows what he’s up against.
“I’m going to go out in the first round see what I’m looking for. I’m not going to go out and expect something from him, but we’ll make adjustments. If I see some of his patterns that I’ve seen on video, then I’ll know what to do. I’m going to look to take apart what’s in front of me.
He’s a man with a plan. The match between Malingaggi and O’Connor will be a great one to watch.
