So I just watched the fight again, in Showtime HD. Wow. Honestly, he should have lost that fight. The refs were either blind or in Paulie's pocket. Round 7 - Paulie got fucked up. He did not do enough to win the fighht. I feel bad for Ngoudjou's camp. Seriously though, does anyone take Paulie seriously? Guy is overhyped, and shouldn't even be in the boxing game. There is no reason for me to hate him, I was actually looking forward to seeing him fight but that was just lousy.
Hatton would own him so bad. I don't see Paulie going anywhere in the fight game. He's lucky he even has the IBF belt.
What do you think?
Have to agree. I am more than prepared to like Malignaggi, I like the brashness and the Brooklyn big mouth. But in reality, he really struggled against Ngoudjou, who should feel pretty hard done by. If you have the power of an infant, as Paulie does (and that's being kind), you need to be a lot more clinical than he was, just a bad night perhaps? Hatton would destroy him on that performance.
