Paulie won by a split decision and it was a hard contest for him where he was cut and couldn’t see out of his left eye after catching a finger in it. It was 5 rounds and Paulie was winning with his superior boxing, fast hands and better accuracy. He nearly got knocked out in the 3rd getting too greedy surviving a huge right hand and uppercut but held on to survive.

Paulie wants to continue, repair his injuries and try and win the 154 title and then maybe 147 to become a two time champion. He is 44 years old. His opponent announced his retirement.
