I will say that Paulie has gotten a little overhyped/overrated. Edner Cherry and Lovemore N'dou are solid wins, they aren't great wins. And yes he had some moments against Cotto and he did show heart but he had to show heart cause he basically got the shit kicked out of him.

He's a good fighter but he's got a ways to go and for a guy that moves a lot and has good reflexes his defense can be a bit sketchy at times.
I agree with you, people crying robbery after every close fight does my head in.

I had money on Ngoudjo. I thought Ngoudjo won the fight. But it was close, hardly surprising the "home" fighter got it, and seeing there's plenty of guys on here that scored it for powderpuff means it defintely wasn't a robbery.

I agree about Powderpuff being overrated too. There's something not quite right when the highlight of your career to date is getting your head smashed-in by a weight drained fighter.
