Paulie wins the first round, and they start saying "well Paulie is a very live underdog", ect ect. Hatton takes over and they start burying Paulie, saying he is where he is because of great management. I thought that was a terrible cheap shot, because Paulie is a really slick, tough kid who payed his dues and beat some tough opposition, and was finally getting a big money fight. Ricky Hatton schools him and they bury Paulie to the public and paint him out to be a fraud.

I really wish they wouldn't do that to guys. How is boxing supposed to produce new stars when the main voices of boxing are quick to bury guys whenever they have a shit showing? They did the exact same thing to Wlad when he lost to Sanders.


Praise Hatton because he fought a brilliant fight, but why bury Paulie like that?
