Sorry bro but thats way off.Accumulative sustained beatings are much more costly than being able to say "I went 12 rounds" is meaningful.Look at it this way...Now that he made such a spectacle out of it and has in effect changed the subject from the fact that he was not going to win on the cards and waiting on Paulie to land a miracle brick is like waiting on snowfall in the desert....he can always say Buddy shafted him .But it was Hatton doing the beating,plain as day.Buddy is not some Trainer speaking and acting from a far,he has 80 fights inside those ropes,Paulie should not take this personal and concentrate on executing a game plan.
