Malignaggi vs Cano - Press And Fan Scores

Over the last few days i have been collecting scores for the Malignaggi vs Cano fight which took place at the Barclay's Centre in Brooklyn New York. Respected Boxing writer Thomas Hauser sent an e-mail asking if i covered the fight. I sent an e-mail back saying that i didn't cover the fight but it would be an honour to do so as i think Thomas wrote the best ever book i have read "ALI - His Life and Times.

Below are my findings on the Malignaggi vs Cano fight. A close fight that i feel could have went either way. Watching the fight i feel that there could have been at least 4-5 rounds that could have been scored for each boxer. This fightIi DONT was not a ROBBERY because of the many close rounds.. I was able to collect OVER 100 scores from the Press and Fans but i have also put my scorecard up for scrutiny.
