He edged the fight just barely on my card, but I wouldn't have a problem with a draw or a slight Cano edge either. It was close. The KD helped Cano a lot. I think Paulie put some rounds in the bank by just boxing and moving, but admittedly he didn't do much other than the jab. He definitely didn't look as sharp as he did when he fought Senchenko.

indeed, the difference was night and day. i think he was too focused on making the cut worse instead of using his overall boxing skills. he didn't utilize his footwork, or set up traps, or varied his punches like he did against senchenko.
seemed like he didn't want to be there either. probably cause he was no longer defending his title, the fight was worthless with an opponent who was worthless and overweight, who knows but something looked off. the cut looked really bad and that was his way to stop the fight early i suppose but, it didn't happen and he overlooked cano's game effort while doing it.
I didnt hear him say he was outboxed and beat up by a 140 journeyman
i was certainly not keeping a card at that stage ( ) but i felt paulie's boxing was effective for good portions of that fight. cano did well for himself. i'm about to watch it on my DVR now (home safe and sound after a gorgeous 4 hour train ride along the coast.)
you live in what is probably the world's greatest city, man. i was blown away last night. i hadn't been there in almost 15 years, and clearly the magnitude of that place was lost on 10 year old new england. i cannot wait to go back.
