Paulie could not make the next day conference,that's how badly he was busted up but he made me a fan,he really is tough! I had it Cotto by 5,possibly 6.His defence ws very good,Paulie only caught him clean later in the fight.
I thought Cotto was fortunate to come away with the win. I had it level going into the last. Cotto dug deep and pulled out the 12th. By no means did Cotto win convincingly. Paulie had him in all sorts of trouble with his hand speed.
Err.......Paulie landed hardly anything clean,Cotto was jabbing beautifully,breaking him down to the body and the left hook did not miss all night. Paulie won a couple of the middle rounds but I can guarantee you are one of the few that had it so close!!Pulled out the 12th,he was systematically breaking Paulie down,11 and 12! Dude,I think you should go and watch the fight again.
