True as well..... But I don't fault the Broner camp for that as long as they would have fought before Broner left 35 since Team Vazquez Fernando Beltran more specifically turned it down the first time around
My thinking was is if they could do it for Burns why not Vazquez as far as pushing for the fight and re-negotiatingComment

Just look at the crowd reaction after he's announced the winner. Who gets boo'd loudly in their hometown against an unknown after getting a loud applause in the intros? Losers who get robbery wins, that whoComment

Agreed, being a fan of Broner and seeing him make this move sucks. I believed him taking on someone like Matthysse or Peterson would of been better tests for him than fighting Paulie.
Just hoping Paulie really trains and takes this serious, but I don't think Paulie is fast or young enough to beat Broner. Paulie has shown to be tough, so let's see if Broner can take him out.Comment

I think Broner has put a lot of this hate on himself. He's called out too many fighters in the past, which I am sure his management has got on him for. I haven't herd him call out any of the big fighters lately, but he does say they are easy money when asked. I think it will be another year or two before he steps up his game. Most of the big names out there are considerably older than Broner with much more experience, so its understandable.Comment

Well Im probably a lil biased because Ive been a Paulie fan from way back. I was probably the 1st guy on this site making threads about him. Back then half didnt know who he was and the other half thought he was a club fighter. He was good and improved. Then when he got to McGirt, dude killed his style. I thought he looked horrible in that Hatton fight. He wouldnt have even beaten an amateur the way he was fighting under Buddy.
Then he left Buddy and got pretty good again but has been 50/50. I thought he looked very good against Senchenko. Thats Paulie now. You never know what youre going to get. One fight he looks like a good fighter and the next he cant move and can only throw a jab that wouldnt even hurt a kid. I thought he was great against a prime Cotto.
Again though, none of it matters to me. Its still a solid enough fight to me. It would be solid to me if he were fighting a bum just due to the fact that he was just at 130 and now is basically jumping 3 weight classes within a couple of fights. Thats something to see to me. Then Paulie is still solid enough. Again, its just about the follow up.
1st off, how many others could he have fought? Burns didnt want it, Vazquez pulled out. If Broner is not bent on fighting him then you make him fight you by beating Burns. He didnt do that. He pulled out. Everyone at 140 has a fight scheduled. Then people say he's picking the weakest at WW but he's suppose to. He was just at 130. And I still wouldnt be shocked if he starts calling out Pac after the Paulie fight.
Either way Im betting that he fights someone that everyone thinks is at the least a decent challange next. I also told someone the other day that I for one still think its cool that a guy is changing weights. Its like old skool. He was just at 130 a couple fights ago, just fought at 135, next fight at 147, and his next fight after that could be at 140. Thats still pretty cool to me. Now I know its about the opponents but it hasnt been all that bad. I mean he's fought Ponce, Demarco, now Paulie, and we'll see what he does next. Thats not as horrible as people make it seemComment

Come on, Cano is a pretty good young fighter! Pretty big guy despite being from 140. And Paulie doesn't necessarily get to pick guys who will make him look good. Ok soooo maybe Cano was brought in to lose for Paulie's NY return but that is only before the fight starts, he went out and made a good account of himself just like he did against Morales. Are we holding it against guys for being put in and having competitive fights now? We might think there is more money in Paulie holding that belt but Cano can go off and make money in Mexico just the same, so I think there is a little bit of a misconception of who was there to win, lose, and be a victim... it looked pretty 50/50.
I don't mind the Paulie fight because he is a mover and I want to see that against Broner whether it was Vazquez, Abril or this, at least there is a durability factor with these guys at WW. Not really sure where the will go afterward so maybe you guys being skeptical is fair - worst case I can see Mosley creeping in the shadowsLast edited by LA_2_Vegas; 03-11-2013, 10:48 PM.Comment
