Final quotes from Broner vs Malignaggi

Paulie Malignaggi

 
"It's gotten a little bit crazy, we'll admit that.  I can take some of the blame, but I can't take all of it.  I can only apologize for my end, but at the end of the day, this is how the creation of Adrien Broner happened, in my opinion.  They put everything that's wrong with boxing in one room, did everything that's wrong with boxing in that room and gave birth to Adrien Broner and you people are eating it up. 
 
"I don't have to admit anything on Saturday night.  I'll admit he's a talented fighter now, but there's a lot more than talent that it takes to get to the top.  I've been in gyms across the country, across the world and you see talented fighters all the time that don't make it, just hanging out in the gym, working out.  They just don't get those breaks, so it isn't about talent.  A little bit of the package is talent and he's got that part of the package; I'm not going to lie to you. 
 
"Did anybody notice he was here a half hour before the press conference and then pretended he was late?  Then he shows up an hour into the press conference trying to show up fashionably late.  Stop trying so hard, bro.  Just do what you have to do.  You're being a clown. 
 
"Mr. Schaefer talked about detours and how some fighters have to take detours and others don't.  It all depends on the matchmaking.  It all depends on who's got your back.  Mr. Al Haymon has taken good care of Adrien Broner and that's why he is where he is now.  There are a lot more talented fighters than Adrien Broner that don't get the credit they deserve.  I'm not saying he's not talented, I'm just saying Al Haymon is responsible for this creation right here. 
 
"There are detours that he hasn't had to take.  I was a talented prospect at one time too.  You know what I was rewarded with my first title fight?  Miguel Cotto.  You know what his reward was for his first world title fight?  Some guy Rodriguez, who I can't even remember his name.  OK?  There's a difference.  We end up on detours because of the people that have our backs.  Instead of praying to God every night he should pray to Al Haymon for making him the creation that he is. 
 
"This guy is nothing and on Saturday night I'm going to prove how nothing he is.
 
[To Broner]  "You remember in that locker room at Wild Card Gym a couple of years ago when you were getting ready to fight (Daniel) Ponce (de Leon) and we were in the locker room and your were all nervous about going the distance?  You think I forgot that conversation you had with me?  I had to explain to him how to go 10 rounds without mentally killing yourself.  He gets to the fight and throws about 16 punches for 10 rounds and gets the decision.  My man, you're going 12 Saturday.  I'm going to beat your ass."
 
 
Adrien Broner
 
"I really didn't come here to talk trash, we did enough of that.  We're two days out.  It's really fight time for me.  It's about business. I really wasn't going to come up here, honestly.  I really wasn't going to come up here and talk, but that would have been disrespectful to my fans, even the ones who hate me.  They're still my fans because they want to see me lose, so I came up anyway.
 
"All I want to say is, I HAVE to put on a hell of a show on Saturday night.  Like I said before, I'm not here to bad (mouth) Paulie.  You're a great champion, you're a great Italian, I'm dead serious.
 
"I'll be a three-time world champion on Saturday at the age of 23.  With that being said, let Paulie talk his little BS.  At the end of day, I'm knocking him the (expletive) out.  He's never been knocked out.
 
"I just say to you Paulie, who I know is a very good commentator, you asked a lot of questions about Adrien Broner.  You said, 'how is he in big fights?  Can he punch?  What's going to happen when someone punches him back?'  I'm just asking you man to man if he comes in and proves this to you, as a great commentator make sure you tell the world how good this kid is.  He's not getting his accolades.
 
"I went from 120 to 135 pounds.  I'm moving up to 147, two weight divisions, and that has not been done.  I'm looking to make history and be the first current American three-time champion, so make sure you [Malignaggi] tell the public he is truly a good fighter.
 
"I'll see you all on Saturday night.  It's going to be a hell of a fight...a hell of a fight."

Looking forward to this one!

Broner is a tool. But a talented tool at that. Paulie is careful not to completely rubbish Broner's talent, as he knows a beatdown is a likely outcome.

Paulie is a great talker, and has completely dominated Broner in the verbal exchanges, shame for Paulie, that fights are generally decided by punches to the head.

I can't see Paulie winning this but I'd love to be wrong as he's completely right about Broner.

GBP got burnt with Ortiz and how his hype was exposed by Maidana, they're being even more careful with Broner.

Broner isn't a bad kid, I don't think. He just realised very quickly that he is going to make more money playing a$$ then just getting on with business. Paulie basically admitted to slapping his ex around, so I hope he gets knocked off his block.

She thought they were slaps. Turns out they were full blown Paulie haymakers

Paulie said she loved it.

Broner being a good or bad kid doesn't bother me (within reason) it's that he's so boring and lacks any imagination.

If he diverted all his energy away from mirroring all of Floyd's mannerisms to a forensic degree and did his own thing then I'd have more respect for him.

Not that he should care about my respect but as a boxing fan, seeing somebody being touted, and touting himself, as the future of the sport, it's a shame the guy lacks any spark.

Fights make stars and he hasn't been in any.

Apparently Nigella also loved it...
Regardless, I do hope he gets adequately clipped (swear filter).

Broner lacks imagination.........You're right...Much rather watch paulie....

His fights are always great too watch

I was expecting your post Truss against Paulie!

He's your boy!

Doesn't Boxing need stars..........

I'd rather go shopping with the red Baron than watch Paulie fight..

Yea you have told us already

Wasn't talking to you...Save it for Irish threads..

I CANNOT TYPE A SENTENCE WITHOUT RESORTING TO VULGAR LANGUAGE

Hahaha

I know a good psychiatrist you can see about it..

Most definitely boxing needs stars but stars are decided by fans following good fights, not PR people telling us who are stars. So far, Broner hasn't had fights!

You should refer Broner to that psychiatrist so he can work through his obsession with Floyd.

If he wants to be like Floyd so much he should take on the challenges that Floyd did to build his reputation.

Thought the way in which he dealt with Demarco looked to be of superstar quality.

anyone got a link to this fight please?
