Malignaggi and Broner exchanging heated and sometimes below-the-belt verbal assaults against each other on social media, continued during the media workout, here are some quotes.

Paulie Malignaggi

"I'm going to dominate him, punish him and make him quit on his stool"

"It's not just him coming to beat my ass.  He's forgetting one thing: I'm coming to beat his ass and, that's the plan on Saturday night."
 
Adrien Broner

"June 22, he's going to wish there's another corner he can run to"

"Paulie is Paulie.  You know, I'm gonna be honest with you, if you're not on you're A-game against Paulie, he can slip away from you.  He's a guy with some tricks up his sleeve, but we're not here for a circus day.”

Whatever Malignaggi and Broner had already been said against each other, only one questions lingers on, whose trash talking will transpire in the ring comes fight night?
