I think youre wrong. Volume does not win the round. Volume only determines the victor if they are both inflicting similar amounts of damage, which was the case for the 1st 3 rounds where Broner landed no meaningful shots. However, once Broner started to land shots, which he did pretty much at will, event tho he through a lot less, I think it was pretty clear he won those rounds.

Id like to point out that if everything was reversed in this fight, Broner and Paulie switched places, everyone would be saying what a joke the 115-113 to Broner was, and would be saying Paulie clearly won.
I think you hinted on a difference in judicial philosophy. That's fine. To me, Broner didn't throw enough punches, and a lot of the time, just walked forward without throwing punches. That doesn't win rounds. If Paulie was so light punching, it appears Broner should have just adjusted and walked through his punches, but he didn't do it.[/QUOTE]

Yea i get this. I thought that was the case for the 1st few rounds. Youll see somewhere on this thread when the fight was on I wrote something like "Paulies punches are troubling Broner, they aint hurting him but when Paulie is throwing, Broner is not".[/QUOTE]
You brought up a good point. Broner was walking forward into Paulie constantly backing him up and while doing so not throwing punches. It seemed like Broner wasted an opportunity. Easier to punch going forward than backing up. Why did Broner take this approach.
While I rant, I wish Paulie had taken the high rode and not fed into Broners post fight nonsense. If Paulie was able to brush it off as if Broner was a little kid it would have been more effective than trying to zing him. Still, Paulie put it all out for that fight so I'm sure he was emotionally drained. This fight really improved my thoughts of Paulie much like Bradley's last fight
