Before the fight I had no time for Paulie but he did go out and back up his talk to a certain degree. He deserves credit for fighting on though as many would have quite in the same circumstances. Also would say that Cotto won the fight and deserves most of the plaudits as that's the aim of the game. I can see how the cotto fans are frustrated with more talk of Paulie than the champ but both fighters deserve credit for putting on a good show for us all. Agreed that it is a pain game and that is why any boxer that steps in a ring and fights is worthy of praise no matter what.
