I too have a love hate thing for Paulie. It was a terrible move on Paulies people to throw him in against the lions so soon. The only thing that saved Paulie was the injury Cotto sustained in the 6th to his left hand. Cotto's injured hand was Paulies salvation. Paulie had never been in the ring with such a monster hitter like Cotto. Paulie would of done great on the Contender and that is what Paulie wanted, but his people said no way. I don't think Paulie will ever be the same after that beating.
