Malignaggi blasts Kevin Mitchell

Well there was always going to be a response when Kevin Mitchell questioned the validity of Amir Khan’s fight with Paulie Malignaggi, the only question was when and from whom.

Well Paulie wasn’t happy and has ripped into the undefeated lightweight on his Twitter page.

When asked about a fight with Khan, Mitchell claimed,

“He’s got an easier opponent than me [on 15 May], definitely – a non-puncher, someone who doesn’t throw many, an old boy and someone who Ricky Hatton beat two years ago.”

well his reference to Malignaggi hasn’t gone down well and in response the Brooklyn fighter said:

Kevin Mitchell wants to speak my name? You got something to say? Say it to my face. This is the only time, your going to be famous, when Paulie Malignaggi mentions your name!

You’ve been cuddled more then Khan has man. Talking about your in a tougher fight, your fighting a human punching bag man, if you can’t beat a punching bag. You might as well retire! Because you suck!!

So, watch your mouth Chump! Because wishes do come true ask Amir Khan. But I make dreams, turn into nightmares. So worry about your fight and katsidis.

Malignaggi has been known to let his mouth go as well as his hands so this should come as no surprise to Mitchell. It remains to be seen if Mitchell will respond to the former IBF junior welterweight champion.
