Paulie should stop worring about his raising his name due to his performance against Cotto, and worry about keeping his name up from spoiler Edner Cherry who'll burry it if hes competitive.Comment

Paulie's too much for Edner Cherry, he'll outbox Cherry easily. About Paulie bragging on his fight with Cotto, someone needs to tell this kid that he survived due to his excessive clinching, I thought it was a smart move at times but when it clearly became excessive a point should've been deducted, fight should've also been stopped in the 12, when he quit fighting and was just trying to survive.
Overall, I think he has heart, good speed and decent boxing ability, but I'm not impressed with him and I don't think he'll be able to beat any of those champs.Comment

Did anybody else notice ref Steve Smoger telling Mallinagi "Dance Paulie Dance!" Then in the last "Run Paulie RUN!" I like Smoger but thought this was ridiculus!Comment

On paper he should but its upset city, upsets and spoilers are at a high peak right now if you havent noticed. This is an odd match up in the first place, so over look Cherry whos a underground favorite at his own risk.Paulie's too much for Edner Cherry, he'll outbox Cherry easily.

This is boxing and anything can happen, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Cherry win the fight but I think Paulie will give him lots of movement and won't stand in front of Cherry to get caught by that hard right hand.Comment

Just waiting for him to be KOd and I dont care what he has to say.Comment

C'mon. Prefight Paulie talks big, like he's some world beater. Its easy to be humble postfight after getting pounded and looking like a horror show. Fact is, the guy is feather-fisted, undoubtably slick and has heart, but really he's only beaten a bunch of scrubs.
I give him credit for being more competative than I thought possible with Cotto (and all heart no brains for going toe to toe as much as he did), but I still think Paulie will go down in history as a b-level fighter: easily capable against limited opposition but will have mixed results when he steps up the competition.Last edited by Not Monty; 12-20-2006, 06:33 PM.Comment
