This definitely isnt a gimmie. Props to Paulie for taking this as his homecoming fight.
Winner of this fight and Bailey Alexander should face off in 2013. However, I wonder how Berto is going to fit back into the 147 landscape when he comes back.
Not a bad fight, but it's still nothing to set aside three pages in ring magazine for. Paulie should win and then fight somebody more legit. This kid Cano isn't even a welterweight. I guess it's better then fighting a washed up Hatton like Paulie plans on doing.
I'm not going to defend Paulie for fighting a smaller guy, BUT, to be realistic, Paulie is no spring chicken and he just pulled the biggest rabbit out of his..er.. hat that no one expected. He earned a payday.
yeah, gbp is ****** for making a weak ass card like this. nobody wants to see morales rematch garcia, and cano is going to get outboxed by malgnaggi. i've seen cano's fights post morales and i'm not impressed in any way by him. imo his best showing was against morales. this will also be at a higher weight, where cano was a contender at 140 but now moves up to fight malignaggi at WW. i don't like it, i'd rather have malignaggi try and fight someone like zaveck, maidana, or even heerden since he's the ibo champ. they could've found someone better than cano.
Good for Paula not expecting easy bouts anymore. I still remember when dude expected "easy" fights against Hatton and Khan. And then he proceeded to get brutally ****d in front of televised audiences.
