Im glad Paulie lost

[The_Italian]

Im glad Paulie lost.

The guy wants to **** all over Boxing because he did not get the right decision in what was an extremely close fight, was he robbed ? hell no, that fight could of gone to Paulie or Diaz by 1/2 rounds it was that competitive and close. I agree the scorecards were way out of hand but still.... there is no need to trap off like PM did.

The guy acted like a 5 year old it was disgraceful. The little ***** should of showed up for the Hatton fight shouldn't he, because then he would have some where to go wouldn't he. I swear if he channeled all his smack talk into actually fighting he might have beaten Hatton.


No class what so ever.

I dont like hearing fighters complain when they have no arguement or are just trying to make themselves look better but paulie has a point so i was pleased to see him rant on and on. I like seeing a fighter stand up for whats right when someone tries to rip them off...the same way i was glad to see nate campbell start a huge ruckus when the ref ruled he was cut on the eye from a punch when we all CLEARLY seen that it was the WRONG call.

I like it when they argue about things like that. Nate AND paulie should both persue these cases to the fullest because both are right and its BS to see fighters get jerked around in the sport over courruption.

if a guy loses fair and square then he lost. period. but these guys didnt deserve that.

and you'd do the same if it happened to you. if not why dont i come to your house, rob you, and then you just STFU and sit there and take it. dont call the police. just sit there and say, "oh well, it serves me right". PM your addy to me.






PS: it may have been a close fight but the judges made it into a pure robbery. no way 3 judges without a bias to either fighter (or state/nationality/etc) would have given those sloppy scores.

[TheGreatA]

One judge had it 117-111 for Malignaggi which was a bit harsh.The rest had it ok.To me it could hav gone either way.There was no 116-112 score there,116-113 was decent.

But the guy from Canada that scored it 117-111 was wrong aswell.

These days onl;y biuas scores fights.Nobody is impartia lanymore.

The 116-112 score was in the N'Dou rematch which I felt was pretty close (unlike the first fight).

[Scott9945]

I didn't see him ***** about getting robbed. He said it was a close fight that could've gone either way.

The issue with him was the 118-110 card. Which he was right to ***** about.

We must have heard different interviews. It sure sounded to me like he was bitching about the decision, claiming he was robbed.

When you put your heart and soul into training camp, fight a good fight, and come out on the wrong end of a decision I bet you'd be angry too. Well he signed the contract tho and agreed to all the terms so, I guess he really only has himself to blame. I scored it 116-112 Paulie would've been fine with 115-113 but, a draw would've been a little controversial. If oyul ook at Diaz after the fight ended he had the look of a loser, like he knew he had lost and was surprised as hell when he got the crooked decision.

[Сливк.]

paulie got robbed and deserved to win, but im also glad for it. the way he was talking ahead of his fight with hatton and how he is as a person and as a fighter just makes me dislike the guy to the extent that i couldnt care less if he got robbed.

1. his bitching was justified...stevie wonder, ray charles, and jose feliciano could have scored a closer fight...

2. bad for the sport for these irregular scorecards to keep coming up in close fights

3. an "L" is an "L", so he has to ***** because like he said, he doesn't have the luxury of calling out a big name fighter and getting a good payday in his next fight...

[Dynamite Kid]

Maybe Paulie could learn something from Holyfield


The kid's name was Stevie Kirwood and he wasn't bad at all: a quick left hand, light on his feet and a couple of years of ring savvy so that the usual tricks you can play on a rookie wouldn't work. Try as I might, I couldn't put Stevie down; his reflexes were too good and he was reading me too well. So even though I landed a lot of punches, not many were good solid hits. Stevie would see them coming and, while he couldn't get completely out of the way, he'd duck or twist or sidestep enough to keep himself from getting too hurt.

On the other hand, he was spending nearly all his time protecting himself and hardly laid a glove on me. I was getting a nice workout while racking up points with the judges and could coast to an easy victory, but that's not how I liked to do things. I threw everything I could against Stevie but he was still standing when the bell signalled the end of the third round, which is as far as amateur fights go. Barely standing, anyway: he was completely exhausted and hardly had the strength to come to the middle of the ring for the decision.

With the ref between us, a hand on each of our arms, we waited for the official announcement. I knew the standard language and lip-synced it in my head along with the announcer: "The winner, by decision. . . Stevie Kirwood!"

Wait a minute. Who? Stevie Kirwood?

I turned to the ref, my eyes wide and my jaw hanging open. Was he kidding? Had he gotten our names mixed up? But there was Stevie, arms raised high, dancing away toward his smiling corner men. Someone who'd never seen a boxing match in his entire life and had watched this fight from half a mile away through dark glasses would know I'd won, and they gave it to Stevie?

I screamed at the judges and spat on them. I grabbed the ref, picked him up and threw him out of the ring and into the third row of chairs. I climbed up on to the ropes, raised my arms and yelled to the audience that I'd won the fight, and then I went on television and wrote letters to every sportswriter in Atlanta.

Actually I didn't do any of those things. I just stood there for a second, fighting to keep the pain and humiliation from my face, and then walked back to my corner to get my gloves unlaced. I didn't do anything because Stevie Kirwood was white, and one thing a black fighter in the Deep South learns early on is that knockouts - clean knockouts - are the only way to guarantee a victory against a white kid. Anything else is a crapshoot. So when the decision went to Stevie I did what I'd done before on those rare occasions when I'd lost a decision to someone I was sure I'd beaten: I did nothing.

Later in my career sportswriters liked to talk about my polite manners and what a good sport I was in defeat, as well as in victory. I didn't get angry when unfair stuff happened and I didn't prance around or go all show-offy when I won. But it's not because I'm such a saintly guy - Lord knows I'm not - it's just how I was brought up.

Mama - and her mother as well - had some mighty strong beliefs about how kids were supposed to behave, and a lot of it came from the Bible, although Mama liked to frost that cake with a little of her own icing. Pride being a mortal sin wasn't just a slogan for Mama; it was God telling us how to live. Pridefulness to her wasn't just about bragging or showing off, it was about going nuts when things went sour, as though you were too good to suffer a little injustice once in a while.

She thought it was a waste of energy to fight things you had no hope of changing, and that you were better off directing your efforts to making sure it didn't happen again, or at least being smart enough to avoid the same situation in the future altogether. One of the things she knew it was useless to fight was someone in authority who'd already made up his mind, especially if you were black and poor and living in the South.

Arguing would only get you into more trouble, so the only reason left to argue was pride and that was no kind of reason at all.

When I was about four I was playing in the front yard with my

The 116-112 score was in the N'Dou rematch which I felt was pretty close (unlike the first fight).

Agreed.

But nonetheless it was a SD not a UD.

Why are you happy a deserving fighter was given an undeserved loss? Personal vendetta?
Although I am no Paulie fan, I am a boxing fan, and I believe fights should be scored properly and the best man should come away with the W. Apparently you disagree.

Who is to say he was deserving of the decision. I had the fight a draw but to argue the way Paulie did was ridiculous.

He might have won to some people but by no more than 2 rounds.
