I thought that was the link to the knock out.

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..

I think ko losses, or multiple knockdown fights, win, lose or draw, fighters should be automatically taken to the hospital as a precaution.

As per the case with Adrien Broner vs. Maidana... it was only sensible to take him to the hospital.

Porter was a savage in there. I expected Paulie to give him some trouble. He just manhandled Paulie. He has that physical, fearless style that will be tough to beat. I'm interested to see him fight someone who has the a big punch though, just to see if he would or could change his style and remain effective. I felt bad for Paulie last night. He did well for the talent he has (no punch n not very quick/fast). He's a smart and skilled boxer and a very good commentator. Hope he calls it now....

I though Paulie should have retired after he lost against Khan, so he has done very well in his career.

Paulie had a great career, was never THE guy or even close to being THE guy, but was very crafty and I think he could have been THE guy at some point if he had a respectable punch.

I still think he could continue on being a contender and probably holding a lesser-known trinket belt, but given the fact that he has a great commentating gig he should quit while he still has his health.

The beatings he took from Cotto, Hatton, Khan and now Porter were brutal. Those are the dangerous losses like the one to Porter, where you're getting constantly rocked and getting hit with clubbing shots to the side and back of the head.

Shots Paulie should not be taking if he doesn't have to. But he said that the money they keep throwing at him to fight, and it has to be a good bit of money.

For the Broner fight, Paulie pocketed about 1.25 mil. I would assume for the Porter fight and the Judah fight, Paulie had to rake in over $500k for each appearance. Not a bad bit of change.
