Paulie at the Post fight Presser

[Spicoli]

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
