    Great Read Thanks for that

    Yh that line about how Paulie gave his IBF title to Vargas' father really moved me and shows me how ****** i can be at times when using trash talking or whatever to judge a fighter on

      Anything written by Hauser is a good read, for some of the newer fans if you want to really learn from someone who knows. Read any articles or books by this guy. A true boxing fan.

      Most of his articles are long, but if you love the sport you'll enjoy every second of it.

        Where does he write normally?

        I love finding write ups like this or ones with a sense of nostalgia etc...

          Guys,

          I wouldn't complain about a little karma love. Some guy gave me red K for no reason.

          I won't snitch on him.

            Wonderful article. On a side note, this is the second article by a prominent boxer writer (first one by Fischer) that mentions Khan getting rocked in sparring. Kinda worrying.

              I'm a bit of a whore for good sports journalism.

              This type of writing is the polar opposite of anything that you would see on an EXAMINER website.

              The Examiner writers get paid by the clicks. I always surprised and disappointed when I see people quoting and posting those articles.

                Good read...

                Whats this about Khan getting wobbled too much in sparring?

                I know he has a weak chin...but I thought they were only rumors?

                      Incredible read. Damn, I cant believe Paulie gave his beloved world title to Vargas family. I have always liked Paulie and wish him the best. I hope Paulie gets that HBO commentator job.

                      Interesting part:

                      In round five, Khan started landing hooks to the body. Midway through the stanza, a hard body shot hurt Paulie. Amir followed by pushing down hard on the back of Malignaggi’s head, and Paulie took advantage of the moment by touching his knee to the canvas.

                      “That body shot hurt,” he admitted afterward. “I figured, okay, he’s pushing my head down, so I’ll go down without a knockdown being called and get a few seconds rest. Amir knew it.”


                      So the body punch did hurt Paulie like the HBO commentators suggested.
