Paulie Malignaggi had a problem with the referee and judges for his first fight with Juan Diaz before the fight ever began. His premonitions were too close to reality after the fight and he snapped. He has a different set of officials for the rematch this Saturday in Chicago, IL.
Genaro Rodriguez from Illinois will referee the bout. The three judges will be Mauro DiFiore (Illinois), Tom Miller (Ohio) and Michael Pernick (Florida).
