I'm glad Paulie was so vocal after the fight too, I really felt for the guy because it wasn't even that close IMO. Paulie had it by a good couple of rounds.

Diaz is another on my list of unlikeables with the establishment obviously having an agenda which will see him through to a big fight no matter what. And screw Max Kellerman with his horrible, horrible comments after the fight. I cannot stand that ignorant, gurning prat and here he only added to my ire. A fight is a fight and the fighter who wins the most rounds should get the decision. I don't see any way to try and justify it on any other grounds than that. Oh, but it's the market talking....or some empty yuck like that.

Kellerman, Golden Boy, the judges and Diaz can all rot. Horrible bunch of frauds with their fake smiles and handshakes behind closed doors. An awful result for anyone that loves boxing and another reason to care less about it.
Yeah that shit pissed me off....bhop fought on HBO for years and there's no way his style is more appealing than Paulie's. The crowd likes the flashy hand speed and combos. They (HBO) even pushed john fucking ruiz where i know there where several fights where "the market" could have been an excuse to take his WBA strap.
