Boxer Paulie Malignaggi was nearly apoplectic after losing a controversial decision to Juan Diaz Saturday night at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

After a terrible performance against Ricky Hatton last year, Brooklyn’s Malignaggi redeemed himself with a tactful, hard-fought effort against Diaz that should have earned him a victory — or at least a moral victory in a close loss. Instead, fighting in Diaz’s hometown, Malignaggi dropped a unanimous decision by a wide margin that should call into question the integrity of the judging and further alienate fans from the sport.

David Sutherland (116-112), Raul Caiz (115-113) and Gale Van Hoy (118-110) all scored it for Diaz in a junior welterweight bout (at a catch weight of 138.5) for the vacant NABO junior welterweight title.

The G Manifesto scored it 115-113 for Malignaggi.

Malignaggi landed 191 punches to Diaz’s 178, according to official punch stats.

In his post-fight interview with HBO’s Max Kellerman, Malignaggi skewered Houston and its treatment of visiting fighters.

“I had to deal with a lot of politics,” Malignaggi said, his voice rising with emotion. “That was ridiculous. I knew I was going to have to deal with this…I’m telling you, this state never gives a fair shake to anyone coming to this state to fight hometown fighters. It never happens.”

When asked about a possible rematch with Diaz, he said: “You know I ain’t getting a rematch, this is boxing; boxing is full of [expletive], I used to love this sport. I cannot stand doing this. The only reason I do this is because it gives me a good payday.”

Like Max Kellerman said after the fight, the market spoke.

There is no way a Brooklyn Italian is going to get a fair shake against a Mexican-American fighter in Houston.

Happens all the time. Won’t be the last.

Wasn’t even a bad example of it.

See Oscar De La Hoya VS Pernell Whitaker again.

But Malignaggi should have known this and won by a huge margin.
