The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, which has superseded the fabled Madison Square Garden as New York's temple of fistiana, opened for boxing on October 20, 2012. It figured that Paulie Malignaggi would be part of the inaugural show.
The Brooklyn-born Malignaggi is the most famous Italian to bubble out of the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn since the fictional Vinnie Barbarino, the John Travolta character in the hit late-70's ABC sitcom "Welcome Back Kotter." Malignaggi returns to the Barclays Center on July 30 to face fellow Brooklynite Gabriel Bracero in a 10-round contest that some in the media are calling Paulie's farewell fight.
