Paulie at the Post fight Presser

[DaxxKahn]

Like him or not Malinaggi fought like a champion Saturday night...

He was fast, threw combos, had a good offense and defense, high workrate, took all the shots that did land and sucked them up.....After the fight he was a gentleman towards his opponent, he took the boos of the Texas crowd and gave back respect that was not deserved by stating he liked Texas and thought they were a great bunch of fans......

Paulie got a raw deal last night but even in the end he came out the more marketable guy in the bout...He also proved he was not finished yet at the world class level.....

He earned my respect while Texas Boxing and Golden Boy lost most of it

I haven't seen the match but seeing the reviews of it, it seems like there is tons of food for thoughts as for the issue and how it got scored, once I get the fight tape, I get back to ya with my own mind on it.

I really dont think its so much of a 'Texas' thing as it is the commission and promotion.I could see Paulie winning but this was no 'robbery'. I think he went over the top with calling people out,getting foul in a victim mantra prior to the fight like that.Rightly or wrongly,he put the spotlight on him.He'll ride this one into something bigger.And frankly has retained enough boxing 101 to last a while while Diaz is very rinse and repeat predictable...been saying watch GBP closley...almost come off like a syndicate or something.

suprised to see the thread title still up ?

Meh, I had it 7-5 Diaz. I am a Diaz fan, I have also scored a lot of fights against guys I'm fans of. I gave Paulie the third round because I was worried I was seeing the fight through Diaz goggles. I don't have any problem with a draw or even a 7-5 score for Paulie although I think that's maybe a bit excessive, I don't know. But all this talk of robbery is baffling to me. Paulie was a bit more active and controlled the ring well at times, Diaz to me landed the cleaner more effective punches. The "robbery" I think is a bit of a result of a bunch of things, one, robbery is always thrown around after close fights, two, HBO (mainly Max) was up Paulie's ass all night and, especially in a close fight, commentary does swing opinion, its indisputable, three, people felt like Paulie was getting a bit shafted from the beginning, and four its easy to overestimate how well somebody's doing when they're surprising you with how well they're doing.

It wasn't a robbery. It was just bad scoring from one judge especially.

That's exactly how I feel. I'm too hungover to type out that long of a post though.

And at Spicoli, yeah I guess this might be seen as an uncouth title. I don't know how to edit titles actually
