AMIR KHAN SHUTS DOWN PAULIE MALIGNAGGI'S BIG MOUTH

Just moments ago, Amir Khan, the Pakistani-Brit who once trained with the famed Manny Pacquiao at the Wildcard Gym of Freddie Roach in Hollywood, CA beat Paulie Malignaggi, the loud mouth New Yorker.
Malignaggi who is best remembered by Filipinos as the ?other? accuser of Manny Pacquiao indicating that the Filipino spit fire could be on drugs, was not able to back up the words he uttered prior to the fight.
Malignaggi at the end of round 6 was so far from Khan in so far as punch landed. Khan landed 37% and Khan just a mere 23%. His face also shows the brunt of Khan?s punches.
Khan is effectively out-boxing him. He has never fought a guy like Khan who is so nimble on his feet and can punch hard as well.
At the end of eight, this writer?s score was 80-72 which runs parallel to those of the HBO analysts.
Malignaggi?s lack of power seem more apparent as the fight progressed. He never had the chance to get back at Khan. In fact after the 9th, Malignaggi?s trainers was telling him between rounds that the only way to win at that point was to knock-out Khan -- something he can not possibly do.
After round 10, the doctors came up the ring and told Malignaggi that if he does not do something better and continues to get mugged, they will stop the fight.
On the 11th, the referee has seen enough and stopped the fight for a TKO victory by Amir Khan.
