Actually he is getting released today. His cat scan came back clean and other tests were also fine. I guess he was taken out on a stretcher with oxygen so there was concern something was wrong. Damn he took a brutal beating, Porters the shit.
That's probably it for Paulie
yeah, probably time for Paulie to hang it up. That was painful to watch last night. I actually thought Paulie had a good chance. I had not seen much of Porter and I misjudged him. Paul's had a good career but he can't hang with the young whippersnappers anymore
Probably precautionary because he took a BEATING.
He seemed fine in the post fight interview, at least considering the beating he had just received. He was kind of asking to get caught in a bad spot with the way he kept giving Porter the back of his head, some of those cuffing shots looked nasty. Definitely hope it's the last we see of him.
You can hear in Paulie's voice that even HE KNOWS that it is "time".... no shame in that. He had a great run. He felt he could have done it again. But it just isn't there anymore Paulie... you have a great second career in journalism.
;D
Plus, Paulie has been figured out already- just keep punching at him. Especially in this late stage of his career- he cant counterpunch you effectively to stop you from coming forward. With younger guys, who can punch hard all night, he cant possibly weather every storm. Porter and Khan were FAR from economical in their punches...
Paulie had a good run, for the talent he actually had- which was one of a great boxer, with limited power and moderate speed. Paulie's greatest talent was making you miss- he is, in my opinion, better at that (especially in his younger years) than Mayweather is now.
I always laughed when Paulie made guys miss, and miss badly... hahahhahahhahaa.... its like he was never in the spot you thought he was.
;D
I hope he calls it a day and being surrounded by guys on the other side, network and media, it'll give him a different perspective to do so. He's one of the more objective and sharpest minds on the mic today and it'd be a shame to lose that. He's had a great run, no shame in his game. Maybe minus the hair weave fiasco, and the atomic melt down after the Diaz fight but that's it ;D
With limited power, Paulie went futher than I anticipated when I saw him for the first time on ESPN a well couple of years back... I knew Paulie was special, but didn't know he had what he had in him- and that is to be a multiple champion.
Paulie had a GREAT RUN for what he had. He will always be remembered.
I thought that was the link to the knock out. :mad:
The tests came back negative and paulie is fine.. he was fortunate to have been stopped early because it's the prolonged beatings that are really damaging..
