Paullie is a good, honest kid and whether or not you agree with his assessment of Hatton it was his honest assessment, which is what you will always get from Paullie. Paullie was not trying to discredit Ricky he was just asked to be honest, if you get to meet Paullie you would see that for all of his talk he is a respectful kid. I called that Ricky would beat Paullie and I believe Ricky would always beat Paullie because of Ricky's constant aggressive pressure and speed. I will also say that there was certainly something wrong with Paullie in this fight and saw that he could not let his hands go at all, whether it is over training, a bad right hand, Ricky being that good or the psychological problems he spoke of, we will never really know...I believe this was and should be his last fight, he's got money, won some titles and had some fun, He doesn't need to fight as long as he has questions about his health rattling around in his head.

I thought he was to kind to Merchant...
