Yes that was some great acting there by those two
The finale of "Lights Out" sucked as far as I'm concerned.
They ripped off so many things from boxing all season, and it really came to a head in the finale. Death Row Reynolds was wearing black WAR hats, EXACTLY like Hagler wore to fight Hearns.
Then when Reynolds finally gets knocked out he crawls around on the canvas lookin for his mouthpiece EXACTLY like Tyson did against Douglas.
It was an insult to boxing fans. Couldn't the writers think up anything of their own instead of ripping off the last 30 years of boxing ?

I like Paulie. Sure, he can't punch but he is a tough mofo and considering that you should be able to walk through him, very few are ever able to do so. He pumps that jab and if he gets tagged rarely gets seriously rocked. He's a nice guy too. He talks a lot of smack, but is likeable with it. I don't really know what he is doing at WW, but am glad he got the win today.
it looked like bobby flay was int the ring with him after the win... did someone say paulie owns a restaurant in NYC? wonder if they're partners...
I really like him to be honest. He tells it like it is and fights with alot of heart. He's the type of guy ud like to sink a few beers with.

I haven't been following this one, but I have a couple thought s on Malignaggi...
He is the kind of fighter I most dislike (well...right behind ex-Olympians); silly haircuts, skips around the ring, acts like an ass and everybody goes on about his "charisma" and "boxing ability." Personally I find that smack-talking and odd costumes and long ring walks detract from the dignity of my favorite thing in the world- professional prize-fighting, though I enjoy all those things in pro wrestling. The belief that a "great boxer" skips around the ring flicking and slapping punches while taunting an opponent is a part of the "Ali-itis" that has infected boxing for far too long. As a result we tend to laud guys that can't do much in the ring as "great".
I felt this way about Pazienza throughout his career, though ultimately I had to respect his toughness and willingness to do what he called fighting. Same with Joey Gamache, who won my respect the night I saw him fight Chavez. Camacho earned my respect when Chavez beat him up, too. I have no interest in watching Malignaggi at all, so I'll probably never come to think anything but ill of him and his way of boxing.
It is very probable that he does have hand troubles. Gene Tunney did, and it made him become more of a boxer. Ali did, too, though I doubt it made a difference in his style. You tend to hurt your hands, especially the outside knuckles, when you flick and slap punches with your hands open and your wrists loose.
