I think has alot of hate has to do with his comments about Pac. Aligning yourself with Team Mayweather is about as bad a public relations move as you can do. I think his comments were kinda crass, as I'm dubious that the motives were him simply expressing his opinion. The fact that he went to Ariza and Roach afterwards and looked like he was contrite says alot.

Tbh, I don't have much time for him as a fighter. I think his style sucks and I don't want to see him headline another HBO show again.

But last night was kinda sad. He was against a young, talented fighter that he just couldn't hang with. To me, it isn't fun to see people take beatings and get KOd. But then, I've always felt empathy and sadness for the gatekeepers, journeymen and patsies. Boxing is a cruel sport in alot of ways.

Khan did what he needed to do, and looked great in doing it. Thankfully Paulie didn't look too damaged and broken in the post-fight interview. He's had few more paydays since the Hatton one, so I hope he doesn't become a gatekeeper. I know someone has to...but I would think he's smart enough not to let that happen.

He just ran into his own Stylistic Nightmare last night. I personally don't think we have seen the last of him. If Pauli has a fault, it is in that he is too damn tough and can take a huge beating.

What will happen though is some out there will think he is vulnerable now. You will see someone like Urango or Maidana think he is easy pickins. Get a fight and then Pauli is right back in the picture with a win. Then his self promotion begins again. I give the kid all the credit in the world. Landing multiple fights on HBO even though they would normally avoid someone with his style like the plague.

Im glad the fight was stopped. No reason to keep getting hit especially when you don't have the power to knock your opponent out.

Even though Paulie wasn't getting beat up to the point where it was "dangerous", he just had nothing to fight back with. He looked exhausted and didn't complain about the stoppage.

[barafranca]

Quit acting like such a ****y *****.

nice photo. Paulie looked like Floyd Sr

[INFANT]

Steve Smoger is a blood-thirsty referee.

He lets beatings occur in almost every fight he does.

[INFANT]

Remember Tito/Hopkins?

[CrackYourJaw]

I was planning to change straight back into my S.O.G. duds tomorrow, win or lose for Paulie.



But Imma keep these for a while in defiance. Fuck all'a you haters.

I thought you were taking shots at ******s for a second there.

[Iceta Lives]

Yeah, in a way I'm happy too. I'm not a Khan fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I can't really say I like Malinaggi either and Khan beat him the way he was supposed to pretty much. Now hopefully this means that HBO won't keep throwing good money after bad.

And I feel kind of bad kicking dirt on Paulie because if anything, the guy deserves credit for being willing to take a beating and keep on keeping on. But it's like if he poses no threat to these guys like Hatton and Khan, why is HBO willing to televise that?

I wish Khan had a better chin so that when he fought Alexander or Bradley we would get to witness the same type of beating. That's why even though I hate Bradley right now for ducking Alexander, it might be better for him to get the shot at Khan so the beating would be slow and suffering since Bradley isn't really a big puncher but he works guys over. Alexander would KO Khan like Tyson did to Spinks and Margarito did to Manuel Gomez. It would be quick and painless, and I almost would be disappointed in that.

[savorduhflavor]

Paulie's the man.

He's all heart and was just outgunned by the superior fighter.

He couldn't be more class post fight though. Win or lose. He'll call it like it is, but he'll give credit where credit is due.

I find it very difficult to not respect Malignaggi. Khan comes off as much more unlikeable.

I live in the UK and have a modest circle of boxing friends and contacts - while we banter, we don't bring it down to the sordid level of the comments I've seen made about Paul in the wake of last night's fight. It's friendly ****, not wishing each-others' guy gets carried out on a damn stretcher or swapping photoshops of fighters' heads grafted onto the culprits and victims of murders out in 'Nam. That's grimy ****, you can't defend it conscionably, so don't even try.


Ya dig?
