Paulie had the sense that he was heavily losing the fight but wanted to finish on his feet. I think champions even paper champs deserve the benefit of the doubt, especially since paulie was never seriously hurt, to hear the decision. I hope paulie fires mcgirt who loves stopping fights Wlad-Brewster II, Gatti-Floyd for example. He's a decent trainer but if he can't stand to see his guy get beat then he's in the wrong line of work.

i was surprised that buddy stopped it. it's not like the fight was a slugfest, or anything close to it. however, i can't argue with his decision based on the fact that hatton was up comfortably at that point and malignaggi had no chance of winning.
as a competitor i understand why malignaggi was/is upset with having that mark on his record.Comment

Fully agree. I think McGirt meant well but Paulie I think would have made it and I think thats what he was going for.
btw, , but McGirt is one of the most overrated trainers of the last 10 years.Comment

Paulie took two straight big lefts to the liver, I was wondering if he was going to get stopped in this round or the next anyway. He was definitaly hurt and hurt bad to the body but I can understand him wanted to await the decision.Comment

It was a ***** move from trainer/promoter
they didnt want to let paulie look worse so wanted to end the fight there
paulie did deserve to finish the fight at least.Comment
